1.) Identify Trends in FX.
2.) Made improvements in money management but always could improve.
3.) Selling to early, tend to see green and take profits.
4.) Continuation Trades or 2nd trades.
5.) Exit trades.

Thank You

Michael,

I just got done reading “The Rule” by Larry Hite. VERY VERY GOOD READ. Ate it all up.

Just bought your book “Trend Following” and am reading that now. Enjoying that as well very much. Thanks for your work on that!

More feedback:

Does your course teach you what actual statistical triggers you use to statistically to enter a trade (that rocket ship)? In other words can I piggy back on your work and methods? Or do I have to start from scratch and test and backtest my own ideas?

You get the exact rules (triggers) from us you can use tomorrow (entry/exit/bet size/portfolio selection).

Well, my two biggest challenges are starting a portfolio management business and hitting over 100% returns a year consistently.

Well, that will NEVER happen.

Footnote: The image above is one of the great traders. Note the 40+ year track record.

Mike,
Listening to the interview with you and Dan Ferris. He’s such a good interviewer and you’re such a good interviewee. You’re such a good interviewer too, probably one of my favorite but to get someone good at interviewing and he interviews you. I think I finally get you. I might actually be a trend follower after all I just don’t know it yet. Buy and hold is dead. I’m a value investor but not a buy and hold. I’ve got my MACD and my stochastics and moving averages. I hear Baron Rothschild’s quote of the only thing he was guilty of was getting out a little too early. But the inverse is true of getting in just a little late. You can’t time the top and you can’t time the bottom. The thing that really got me with this interview was the 1% positions. It’s the skin in the game concept (which I haven’t read yet). You can’t have those Tesla gains if you don’t get your 1% position. With the 1% (just for example. With the turtles if they got massive upward movement with 1% they might add to that %) I probably won’t mind having a small position or two of non value as long as it seems like it’s trending.
Good show interview again.

Thanks,
Caleb

Thanks!

Hello Michael,

I just recently first heard about you on the Investor Hour podcast with Dan Ferris. I’ve been trying to gather as much information that I can on Trend Following. I NEED to change everything I’ve ever done with my investing and wanted to get your video on how to get started.

Thanks so much!

Chris

My guest today is Paul Gulino, an Associate Professor at Lawrence and Kristina Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. He believes in Hitchcock’s adage that “films are made on paper.” Although students may obsess about a film’s look, all of the visual elements, he says, function to enhance the story. And that, ultimately, comes from the mind of the screenwriter.

The topic is screenwriting.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Hi Mike,

Great presentation.Thanks.

Apologies for the terse previous email, didn’t expect but certainly appreciate the personal response.

I am new to the markets and started trading more seriously about 6 months ago after reading Market Wizards.

Listening to Stansbury’s podcast on Sunday, your district delivery and measured approach to trading compelled me to take a break from yard work and order, as we now refer to it in our household, “Covel’s Epic 5th Edition” or “Big Blue”… 🙂

It arrived on Monday, haven’t finished yet, but wanted to respond, thank you for your work.

Your writing, speaking and teaching style is unique and engaging… Before I heard you mention the word to Dan Ferris, you instantly brought to mind one of the best attributes among excellent teachers and humans in general: curiosity.

I look forward to reading and learning more.

Best Regards,

Ben

Thanks!

My biggest challenge with trading is to do it consistently and well. I have had a very good year trading, but I don’t have rules, don’t have a good source of ideas.

My latest is to short gold with DUST ETF. Started on Nov 11 and added to my position about a week later. My price is $8.11. My time frame is 3 months. I read in the press that Citibank and another big bank suggested moving from overweight to underweight. I noticed that gold climbed from around $1300 to $1500/oz from May 30 thru August. I think it will continue slowly downward over the coming months, unless there is a change in factors affecting gold, like inflation, interests rates, market appetite for risk. I don’t have enough information or how to track event dates that impact my investment.

This sounds like slot machines at Vegas.

Try this way of thinking.
