“I am desperate to trade a successful trading strategy on my own…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Hi Mr. Covel,

Thanks for reaching out! And I truly hope you do read this message!

I am desperate to trade a successful trading strategy on my own. I traded with a Wall Street trader and ended up losing everything. It wasn’t his fault. He made millions. It was my own psychology. He was trading weekly options. I tried the weekly and couldn’t stomach the swings. In hindsight, had I have done monthlies, I would probably be a multi-millionaire. I am seeking revenge. I want to murder the market and not only, as we used to say, “peckerslap” the market, but also make it a profession and become an expert trader. I just purchased two of your books. I will read them. I will eventually purchase your program. I just need to know one thing: if I put my blood, sweat, tears, and heart into this, will it compensate me with my goal of being a self-sufficient successful trader? I look forward to hearing back! Thanks.

Best,

C.

Michael,

I hope you are well. Big changes on my end, moved to Montana and lovin’ it. This quote came to me and I know you will appreciate the idea … “Because I don’t follow trends, I am able to be a trend following trader!” I am loving the podcast and have listened to over 100 so far and have repeated the Tom Basso a couple times. Keep up the good work!

Regards,
Rob

Thanks!

“I always risk only between 0.75 and 1% of the capital and I set the stop loss accordingly…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Hey,

To answer the question I have two main challenges: increase the chances of the trend I spotted to actually go through (based on breakout or pullbacks, not always working) and the stop-loss position. I always risk only between 0.75 and 1% of the capital and I set the stop loss accordingly, which gives me the position size. But sometimes I wonder if I couldn’t reduce this stop loss to increase my position size and win more on the following trend but then it comes back to 1st challenge: how to increase the chances that the trend will move on. Last but not least, I love your content.

Cheers,

Vincent
