Hi Michael,

Thank you for your books!

I bought my first stock when I was 14 then I started to manage my family portfolios at 24 (I’m 51 now) in 1997. I made money in the dot com bubble era.

I’ve been told behavioral finance, technical analysis in 2000. I was a technical analyst and sales at [name]. Since then I manage my family portfolios trend following style. Then I ran a money management company, [name] in Paris France, as Head of Sales (1B€ gathered in 3 years from nul), buy and hope style on green economy stocks that crashed in 08 subprime crisis. Then I ran a trend following money management company, [name] in Zug Switzerland, as trader and sales.

Now I’m back on track to launch a trend following money management company in Luxemburg and I’m looking for a money management company to help me on this. For the moment I focus on my track record started Feb 23, 2025. I trade Nasdaq, SP500 and DOW futures.

Regards,
[name]

Thanks for your support! However, I don’t have a lead for you here, but wish you the best of luck.

Hi Michael,

I just wanted to say thank you for your ongoing podcast episodes. You continuously demonstrate objectivity and clear-minded thinking. Very few podcasters present their views as uncluttered as you do. Your ability to not lose your mind with guests that are clearly on left is a rare skillset.

I totally agree with your position on Trump (and I’m Canadian!). Competition makes us all better. Canada and the rest of the world needed a kick in the ass.

Keep up the great work!

John S.

Thanks!

I’m the guy who worked at CNN for 7 years (please forgive) but now work at Fox (please forgive me again). I’ve listened to every single one of your podcasts, dating back to episode 1. Even the mega flashback episodes. Also read Trend Following. I now use it as a monitor stand. Well, for the last several months, I’ve been in the process of purchasing a business. It’s a gov contract construction management company. I signed the purchase agreement today. Have to get to closing but things are looking good. I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing. But everything is doable. And that’s what I did. I used AI for 100% of the transaction. It’s the golden age! Never been a better time to be alive. Just do it!

Thanks!

Hello, will trend tracking work well even in a market with great volatility like these days?

장혁진

Yes. Trend following accounts for volatility.

Hello,

I am a 20-year-old from Vietnam.

I am truly fascinated and enjoy reading the book Trend Following. Although I have not yet been able to fully apply it to my business, I am confident that the method is highly effective.

If you happen to read this message, I would like to ask if the method I am developing is truly aligned with the trend following approach.

Here is my method:

1. Identifying the main trend on the daily chart (1D): I use a long-term Supertrend (ATR Period: 14, Multiplier: 3) and a short-term Supertrend (ATR Period: 7, Multiplier: 2) to identify the main trend.

Enter a buy order when both Supertrends (long-term and short-term) show a bullish signal (green).

Enter a sell order when both Supertrends show a bearish signal (red).

2. Identifying Entry Points on the 4-Hour Chart (4H): I use both the long-term and short-term Supertrend on the 4H chart to confirm entry signals.

Enter a buy order when both Supertrends on the 4H chart show a bullish signal (green).

Enter a sell order when both Supertrends show a bearish signal (red).

3. Risk Management (SL and TP):

SL (Stop Loss): Place the stop loss below or above the short-term Supertrend on the 4H chart, depending on the type of order.

TP (Take Profit): Take profit when the price crosses the short-term Supertrend on the 1D chart. This signal suggests a potential reversal or slowdown of the trend.

Thank you.

T. M. N.

I think the biggest problem I have faced [in trading] is lack of training. I am a very pragmatic person and trying to follow order flow or stochastics has failed me miserably. The emotional side of trading is real, and in the end I just gave up.

I am 63 now and nearing retirement and looking for a hobby and remembered reading turtle trading many years ago, so here I am.
