Just came across your email when listening to Dr. David Paul. I am currently funded on multiple Apex and TakeProfit prop firm accounts and working day and night to figure out how to keep em and scale. I am interested in discovering more about trend following as currently I am working a system that works off of supply/demand reversals. So far so good, but I need to learn more about how to let winners run and ADD to my positions.

I lost my career during the Covid nonsense but it opened up many doors and my life has improved on every level. As if something hit me square in the face and said it’s time to take control. I take your advice and opinions with immense weight and graciously await your response.

Very Respectfully,
Ryan S.

Prop firms are a scam. You have a strategy. You have a broker. That’s it. That’s life. So I don’t see “prop firm” as anything more than marketing.

I have blown many personal funds so am trying to reduce risk by trading on prop firms. I have taken one payout with Take Profit so far and made it to my first payout request with Apex so I will see how that goes.

The strategy you described is a dead end!

My major issue is knowing when to get out of a trade. Lack of patience has caused me to leave a great deal on the table. I have turned profitable over the last 6 months. Probably more about the market than me but still I am profitable. Will watch your video.

You need/want a complete system!

Driving today while listening to your conversation with Daniel.

One of the twin 7yo boys, unprompted, pipes up from the rear child seat:

“I like this podcast, it’s really interesting!”

Talk about having EI!

You’re having so much fun doing this, it clearly brings you never ending joy.

Respect.

G. P.

Thanks!

Good Evening Trend Following SuperTeam,

I appreciate all of your hard work and dedication. I got all the crap off my charts except price and I am focusing on the 55-20 and the 20-10 systems. Thank you. My 17-year old daughter is on her way to becoming a Trend Follower herself. We enjoy Michael’s podcasts together. According to my daughter, some of Michael’s language is very similar to her mother’s (compliment). Boom! Thank you for telling it like it is and cutting through the bullshit that is so prevalent in this world. Thank you for your time. Have a nice weekend!

Regards,
Mike

You are welcome!
