“I want to learn and practice as much as I can about trend trading…”

Feedback in:

Hello Michael,

I want to take the time to take advantage of your proposal to “twist your arm” as I desire to enroll in the flagship program. Here’s my situation and transitional plan.

At present, I am a lead pastor at [name]. Presently [I] will be celebrating 20 years of marriage this year. I also am a coach/consultant with [name]. My passion is people development and finance. I have been a pastor for the past 20 years and am now feeling a transition out of that role and into something different. Let me share what that looks like.

I have always had a deep passion for investing and trading. I have always been involved in investing and when I had financial and time margin, I would trade, and I loved it. I have always had a deep passion for coaching and developing people, systems and organizations. I have always found deep purpose in helping others become what they are not in the present to who they can be in the future.

My desire and passion is leading me to find a way to embrace all three of these elements. I want to be involved in trading for multiple reasons. One, passion for the market and technical analysis. Two, love the challenge and the arena to overcome self and pursue self-discipline. Three, become a source of income for my family. Four, to supplement the costs for others so that they may be able to receive coaching/consulting. Finally, five, to work with Africa New Life without having to receive a paycheck from them.

As of right now, the plan is to fully transition out of my role by the end of 2025. Due to that time frame, I want to learn and practice as much as I can about trend trading so that I can enter that season sprinting instead of starting cold turkey. I am a deep and passionate learner (read 2 of your books today) and have always valued mentorship and being coached. This is my focus during the next 18 months: Learn, observe, practice and sharpen my trading skill set.

My ask is this: Not that you consider a discount based upon financial realities only, but that you consider the value of the dream and passion that’s being pursued. I can promise you this: I will give you my all and will give it 110% of effort and will stick to the process and program.

On a side note, I’m also seriously looking for someone who would consider mentoring me as well. Not sure what you would recommend in that regard, but open to suggestions.

I appreciate the time you gave to read this.

Sincerely,
[name]

Hope my response helped!

“What is your biggest challenge you have faced with your trading…”

Feedback in:

Hello Michael,

My name is Catherine. I am an individual, unsophisticated trader based in Germany.

So here is my answer to your question: What is your biggest challenge you have faced with your trading?

It’s resisting to the temptation of taking profits when they look very attractive and forgetting about the trend in that moment. The challenge is to put the long term before the short term.

Thank you for your excellent work, I am curious about more.

Kind regards,
Catherine

“Trend Following is a much broader doorway to how we think and don’t think…”

Feedback in:

Please pass on to Mr. Covel that I am 49% through his educational and entertaining book. I have only found one typo, albeit significant, but the book is excellent.

Thanks. Typo? Which book?

That was funny. Your email ended at ‘best’ on my screen, until I screened down and saw. It was humorous because I thought, given your creative writing style, with editorial perfectionism, you could not let the typo pass. For a moment I thought you had let it pass and could not believe it. Then the postscript: “PS. Typo? Which book?”

It is in ‘Trend Following’. Very well written, thank you, and insightfully entertaining with the quotes from other brains. I have also read, “The Complete Turtle Trader’. It was also well presented and enjoyable reading. Although ‘Trend Following’ is a much broader doorway to how we think and don’t think. The quotes you have presented in ‘Trend following’ are, for the most part, literary treasures in their own right.

I am on the west coast. It is time to close down and go help my wife and our visiting son, with dinner. I will look back through the book tomorrow or Sunday and tell you what and where it is.

Thx!

Section 6 Human Behavior > Page 195 · Kindle Location 7674

The book, ‘Trend Following’ reads: As these examples show, risks must considered in the most ordinary of situations and high-pressure environments alike.

To my mind, one of the outstanding characteristics of your writing is the graceful flow of the detailed presentation; which is rare in a non-fiction (hopefully, haha), technical subject. For that reason, the typo is an interruption to that flow.

I am only half way through the book, but a question, if I may. Is it possible that any current phenomenal success of your cited trend traders is related, at least in part, to the size of their positions creating, sustaining or enforcing the trend of their investment selections?

I was surprised to see Mark Spitsnagel ‘Dao of Capital’ mentioned in your book. His writing put me on to reading Henry Hazlett, ‘Economics in One Lesson’ and Ludwig von Mises, ‘Human Action’, also quoted in your book. Of Hazlett’s book, Spitnagel says, it is the one book he would want his kids to read. I opened Hazlett’s ‘Economics in One Lesson’ on a Saturday and finished it the next day. It is rewarding to me to read their works and yours.

Thank you and best wishes for a good day for you.

Welcome!
