My biggest challenge is that I work for the Royal Danish Navy and sails in the North-Atlantic, and do not have access to fast internet, only slow slow internet. I need to figure out a system with less time online, and think that trend following could be it.

Yes it can be.

You can use EOD or EOW data — no day trading with trend following.

I once opened a fortune cookie a couple decades ago and it read, “your health is your wealth”. It really resonated with me, as I felt and still feel, that I’m very healthy relative to my family and friends, and it’s how I think about my life in terms of what to reflect on. In this regard I feel blessed. As another author put it, you don’t want to be the richest person in the hospital.

Give it a listen!

My biggest issue has been the volatility that Trump caused by opening his mouth. Last year I had several options on Amazon. Without any real reason Trump just started whaling on Amazon almost on the daily. Since then I’ve been reading very little and studying much more. My true mistake was that I had too much money in one investment.

Trump did not cause your issues.

An incomplete/bad plan doomed you.

Hello,

My biggest challenges have been the following:

1. Some indecision between short term trading (faster signals) v/s long term (slower buy and sell signals). Not sure which gives better returns –> have heard proponents for both but inconclusive in my mind so far. I guess it comes down to personal preference, although would like to know what you think.

2. Which is the best set of indicators: Moving avg crossover (?) if so, the best combination?

3. Have not been able to create a system as I flex between multiple strategies with issue # 1 (short term v/s long term) really throwing a wrench in the whole process.

Look forward to getting some help from a proven expert like yourself.

Thanks!

Sandeep

I don’t like your strategy.

Hi Michael,

I’ve written before. Wanted to say I’ve continued to listen to your podcast and am kind of blown away by how many there are and how good they all are. You’ve got awesome guests and you’re a talented interviewer. So thanks for this free podcast! It’s obvious you love it and your passion comes through to the audience.

A question for you: in the intro to the podcast, you say that you envision a time when we can make money in up, down or sideways markets. Does the “sideways markets” part refer to diversification (if one market is going sideways, another one will be trending, so you can still make money if, say, the S&P 500 is flat). Or is there a trend-following strategy for sideways markets?

Anyway, thanks again for making my daily commute interesting!

David

Diversification! See here.
