Hi,
I am enjoying your [5th edition] on audible which I recently bought after finding the book in my father’s library.
He is now 89 years old and able to fully fund his retirement on investments largely supplemented by many of your books’ concepts!
Regards and keep up the good work,
Tom D.
Thanks!

Hello Michael,
The hardest in trading is finding a consistent strategy that give me a guidance to get in and out the market and that can help me to manage my risk in a way that you are not tempted to take more risk because you think the market will eventually go in my direction, what makes that the losses can be big. So I hope I can learn this here!
Warm regards,
Filip DS.

Michael,
Hello. Below is a response to your question “What is the biggest challenge you have faced in trading?”.
Analysis paralysis. That is, I spend time trying to get my head around things, and I often conclude I don’t have what it takes. And another day passes me by.
Thank you.
John P.

Thanks for all the good content Mike.
I’m interested in the risk mgmt piece. Can you cover how to calculate a good stop loss level for a particular stock? What factors or series of questions will help you establish a sound, dialed-in percentage level?
Thanks.
Mark P.
I give step-by-step solutions that answer:
Portfolio: What market do you buy or sell?
Bet Sizing: How much of a market do you trade?
Entry: When do you buy or sell a market?
Exit: When do you exit a losing trade?
Exit: When do you exit a winning trade?
So the last thing I want any one to do is focus only on the stop. It’s more than that.

Hi,
Recently bought your book as a holiday treat to myself.
I already own all books by Van Tharp and I’m motivated to find “my trend following system.”
Still 1 year in progress, it’s a hard, mental, and intelligent challenge.
I keep questioning myself if it is even possible to beat the market. YTD (2024) I’m only up 12.5% while S&P500 is approx. 19% (12/07). My partner’s account, which I only suggest her which ETF to buy once a month, is at 19.5% YTD!
So basically with all the time spent I don’t get anywhere (against my 2 benchmarks; the index and a buy and hold ETF philosophy).
Main problem is how to define trend. What is a trend and what is not? I want to make myself richer not my brokerage firm which for now I think I’m doing. I’ve got a big loss in Nike from which I could not part until it was finally down 35% (Auch).
Backtesting my system I’m about 40% – 60% (so not even 50%) with wins averaging 1.8 times averaging losses.
I’ve got a university degree so I’m not dumb (or perhaps I am).
I found out about your website so now I need time to explore that even more.
Always reading and testing but it is getting frustrating.
Any help/insights would be great.
Kind regards,
Steve V.
Your exact system and time frame now? How have you selected a portfolio? I don’t understand the trend focus. Entries. Exits. That’s the issue. Not trying to measure a trend before it happens.
