“So happy that I got directed to your podcasts….”

Michael,

So happy that I got directed to your podcasts. I have been playing catch up and have been listening to them for a week. I was a natural gas trader for the last 25 years and decided to break free and make it on my own. I would appreciate the information you provide to get started trend trading.

Thanks,

Brett

“Risk management is just as important when you are faced with taking profit…”

Michael,

Again much thanks to you and Richard D. and Bill E. for sharing an incredible system for profiting in any market! I’m amazed that many brokers and individual investors don’t understand that short selling is just the mirror image of going long. Also, the number of analysts, pundits and investment newsletter write who continue to make faulty recommendations for going long as the markets waterfall down! Of course, risk management is just as important when you are faced with taking profit as when you are trying to keep your losses to a minimum.

All the best,
Robert M.

Thanks!

Michael,

Once again trend following seems to keep the peace when irrationality starts to set in. The fact that trend following understands and accepts the fact that humans are irrational and will under-react/overreact to events means it will always be around to make sense of the markets. Bill Dunn said it best… “we are just riding the bucking bronco.” Thank you for all the work you do and thank you for helping us find some peace in times of market turmoil.

Michael, Jr.

“Currently, my biggest challenge is how to ratchet down the trending strategy to layman’s terms…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

My biggest challenge is to increase my current savings. I am a part-time retiree. I follow the suggested diversified portfolios as suggested by Merriman and others. In fact, it was a Paul Merriman podcast that led me to your books. It is my plan to use a small portion in a Roth account to segregate a trend following system.

Currently, my biggest challenge is how to ratchet down the trending strategy to layman’s terms. A recent article in Morningstar does define an approach using non-correlating ETFs (for which there is an entire universe) as a simple adaptation of the system.

I have read The Complete TurtleTrader and Trend Following and greatly enjoyed both books! I also have tracked the 20-day True Range for several ETFs just for practice and graphed the closing day prices.

Of course, I will not reach the robust results described in your writings nor will I short-sell. If I can at least tilt the trends in a positive direction, I could secure a better future.

Have I answered your question?

You answered it. More to read.

Ep. 847: Laura Huang Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Laura Huang, a preeminent Harvard Business School professor, shows that success is about gaining an edge: that elusive quality that gives you an upper hand and attracts attention and support. Some people seem to naturally have it. Now, Huang teaches the rest of us how to create our own from the challenges and biases we think hold us back, and turning them to work in our favor.

The topic is her book Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Huang draws from her award-winning research on entrepreneurial intuition, persuasion, and implicit decision-making, to impart her profound findings and share stories of previously-overlooked Olympians, assistants-turned-executives, and flailing companies that made momentous turnarounds. Through her deeply-researched framework, Huang shows how we can turn weaknesses into strengths and create an edge in any situation. She explains how an entrepreneur scored a massive investment despite initially being disparaged for his foreign accent, and how a first-time political candidate overcame voters’ doubts about his physical disabilities.
