I am glad to be in your inbox, and thank you so much for letting me in. I am a newbie in forex trading. So far as a newbie, practicing with the demo account, I have been making profits all day, but my challenge is, I don’t really know how to analyze the market using the technical and fundamental analysis. What I do is, I just select the pairs I want to trade, go to trading view to look at them, [and] just make my predictions. I really, really want to know how to do analysis, using the technical and fundamental analysis. Thank you so much.
O.S.
Start here. I detect confusion!

My biggest challenge [on trading] is fear. I know that I can do it. Aside from fear, my biggest challenge is dedication. I’ve been studying chart patterns and rules on and off over the years thinking that it’s right for me, and then it’s not right for me, but I keep being drawn back to the markets for some odd reason. It might be FOMO. It may be the money that keeps drawing me back. I’ve always been fascinated by Wall Street and the exchanges.

Hey there!
I’m from Zimbabwe and my journey started when I became obsessed with analyzing the charts and became a little good at it—to the extent that my analysis was actually happening as planned.
I realized I can actually make money and did some few deposits, and made some money. My challenge is lack of some few technical analysis and some concept as well as income as I’m still struggling a bit.
Regards,
Munyaradzi M.

Dear Mr. Covel,
I am writing to express my deep gratitude for your inspiring work. Your books, including Trend Following, The Complete TurtleTrader, Trend Commandments, The Little Book of Trading, and Trend Following Mindset, have profoundly impacted my approach to trading. I wish I had discovered them earlier.
I began trading in mid-2022 and experienced beginner’s luck with gold around $2,000. I bought at $2,025 and added to my position as gold rose to $3,000.
However, I didn’t realize I was trend following at the time. Later, I shorted gold at $2,500, believing it was in a bubble, and suffered significant losses. This experience affected my confidence and led to psychological challenges.
Initially, I studied technical indicators like RSI, Stochastic, MACD, and Bollinger Bands, but my results didn’t improve. Your books introduced me to trend following, which has since shaped my trading strategy.
However, I still struggle with the fear of losses, which often outweighs the joy of wins. At times, I hesitate to follow my system’s signals, doubting whether the market or timing is suitable for a trade.
Could you share advice on overcoming the psychological impact of losses and building confidence to trust my trading signals consistently? Your insights would mean a great deal to me.
Thank you for your time and for writing such transformative books.
All the best!
Hoàng N.

Thanks for the starting steps, Michael. Been a huge fan of your podcast, currently on 332. I’ve read a majority of your books the past couple months and I am thankful to you for introducing me to trend following. You’ve opened my eyes to the whole financial system and given me good foundational thinking. I eventually would love to create my own trend following system as well as buy the mastery system you offer. Would you recommend I get accustomed to using and coding in excel spreadsheets?
