After a decade of losing (as a trader), I am a believer in your teaching.

As I am writing this, I just put down Trend Following 5th Edition at page 49 for a break. Then listened to podcast number 1.

I look forward to more.

Thank you,
Donovan S.

You have many to go!

Good day Mr. Covel,

I’m an Air Force service member based in Georgia, and I manage a small trend following fund inspired by the same high-octane approach I’ve seen reflected in your books and some of your interviewees.

I launched earlier this year with under $50k in AUM, which some would say is impossible but I’m enjoying the process. I want to thank you for all the information you put out and looking forward to picking apart more nuggets!

Just wanted to introduce myself and hoped to connect. Wishing you continued success.

Respectfully,
J. M.

Nice to connect. Best of luck!

Hello Michael, greetings from Brazil.

I’ve been listening to your podcast for a while, have read the market wizard books as well. The Brazilian Equity Market shows that even the “best professionals” with c-level access don’t have an edge and can’t generate alpha when the trend and money flow is not there. So I would like to study more about trend following. Appreciate if you can send me in the right path.

Best regards,
Thiago C.

Video sent. Enjoy!

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your email and books. Does cutting losses early also mean selling an index ETF such as SPY or VOO when there is a drawdown such as the one experienced in April (or countless other episodes)? Or are you referring only to single-stock or sector trades?

Thanks,
Nikolai

Cutting losses inside a trend following system applies to all markets. Cutting losses doesn’t mean new entry signals can’t appear again in that same market.

Feedback in:

I did trend following a long time ago. It did not work for me because my win pct was not high enough to overcome whipsaws and commission costs and a generally sideways market condition (IIRC, it was a while ago). I did not trade commodities or options as I did not know how to get started in those markets at that time. My reason for renewed interest is the advent of fractional trading and low/no commission trading and whether that would enable trading at a more comfortable price level and buffer the effects of a sideways market. How viable is this strategy in today’s markets amidst program trading, etc?

Some points:

1. I don’t know exactly what you were doing before so I don’t know if you were trading as a trend follower exactly.
2. Trend following never stopped.
3. Not sure what you mean by program trading exactly, but #2 is still true.
