“I feel the need to thank you for the fantastic podcasts…”

Hi Michael, I never email people out of the blue, but I feel the need to thank you for the fantastic podcasts. I find I get a good laugh, some usable information, and some good entertainment during each episode. I am a Forex trader for my career and love every minute of it. We have different trade practices but the core fundamentals of trading, regardless of the method or system people use, IMO, have massive crossover. Anyway. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

How to Start in Trend Following

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I’m a huge fan of your podcasts and have finished your books Trend Following, Little Book of Trading and Trend Commandments. I also listen to your podcast pretty religiously and am working through your early episodes with the fund managers. I’m currently in medical school living off loans so I use the public library for books whenever possible. I’m using just 50 day and 200 day moving averages and reading some of [name] works now. Do you have any advice on sources and ideas for trading systems and rules? Or any advice on the application of trend following.

Sincerely,
[Name]

Here is one way to start and another way to start.
