Hi Michael,

Please find attached a copy of my receipt for “Trend Following – Fifth Edition”

All the Best,
Stacy H.

My video is in your in box now!

I read and thoroughly enjoyed your Trend Following and Complete TurtleTrader books, and appreciated the efforts taken to discuss how Trend Following, in one form or another, has been around for centuries.

That said, do you know if trend following works as well today as it has historically? I’m asking because I’m beginning an algo trading course that’s focused on extensive backtesting, and it was mentioned that Trend Following does not work as well as it once did. I will find out after backtesting, but would like your perspective.

Trend following excels. It has never stopped.

“I have been making profits all day…”

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!

“I’ve been studying chart patterns and rules on and off over the years…”

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.

Munyaradzi M.

“I studied technical indicators like RSI, Stochastic, MACD, and Bollinger…”

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.
