My biggest challenge at the moment is reading the charts in stocks. I have a good idea of what to invest in, mostly tech, just finding that good entry points by price analysis is my challenge. I just started reading TurtleTrader and going to start the Trend Following audio books.

Let me ask you — reading charts — what do you mean?

Trend following is not about reading charts.

My biggest challenge so far is being able to analyze the data to find a solid trend-based methodology that will provide a high level of successful trades (greater than 80%) with minimal amounts of loss on the negative trades. Crunching that much data to find the combination of trend data to follow for success. I am starting to work with a programmer since I don’t have time or refine my coding skills to crunch the data myself.

80% winning trades? That’s not an option. You won’t ever get there. A false goal if there ever was one. It’s not trend following either. Resources to explore.

Using a consistent strategy to create consistent profits. Because I’m new; (I’ve been trading for about a year) I’m trying to learn as much as I can, while trading, while not losing my shirt! I know, nor do I expect, my journey to be easy but it seems there’s a bajillion strategies. I’m finding it difficult to find ones so that I can implement it to fit my own personality. “I feel” that it’s a mesh of a lot of ideas, and a lot of traders have their own styles and preferences, but I have no idea what works and doesn’t consistently.

1. Consistent profits? What in life is consistent?
2. What are all these styles?
3. Your personality?

Check out my FAQS.

Just getting back into ‘the market’ to a small degree after many years out. Wasn’t certain what to answer but today one answer came to mind, ‘when to exit’. I saw the one Donchian guideline on your website just recently about “Limit losses and ride profits, irrespective of all other rules.” I was 90% lucky and a stock I bought yesterday is up 26% at close today. It’s a small profit. I was debating the idea to sell, see if it drops, buy in again for another possible small increase. But going to let it ride based on that guideline above. Kind of challenging though. Still, a ton for me to learn. Thanks Michael.

Happy you got lucky, but that is a bad plan! Dig in here.

I’ve been listening to your podcast for the last year, including all past episodes. Just found your site and signed up for the email courses and watched the video. I am planning to purchase and read all of your books starting tonight. While I have a background in finance and statistics, I think my system may be over-optimized with too many variables and signals.

Rich C.

Keep digging!
