Good morning & Happy Sunday Mike!

I do have a few questions:

1. Do you teach which leading indicators to follow & how to calculate their distribution via Excel?

2. Are the modules that are on LEAPs & ETFs, are they on strategies or just what LEAPs & ETFs are?

3. I’m looking to learn how to trade a Long/Short portfolio, I didn’t see anything in the syllabus that discusses that specifically, am I missing something?

4. Are the extra videos in the course, are they just interviews or are they teachings from those traders?

Thank you again for taking the time to respond & help me on my journey to becoming a consistently profitable trader!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Tony K.

All needed indicators are included. Read here. ETFS/LEAPS are specific for trend following. Trend following by definition is long short. All covered. The videos stated are interview videos. Feel free to follow-up!

Good afternoon Michael,

I hope this message finds you well!

I’ve been following you for a number of years. I’ve really enjoyed your podcast!

I’m a Financial Solutions Advisor for Bank of America & Merrill.

My goal is to learn how to trade a Long/Short Portfolio of Stocks, Bonds, Currencies & Commodities.

I’d like to start my own firm or fund within the next few years.

I can’t seem to find anyone who can teach me a Long/Short Portfolio.

I see tons of coaches/courses for day trading. I don’t want to day trade.

From your years of experience & from all of the traders you’ve interviewed, is there anyone you would recommend? Do you do individual coaching?

Can you help me learn how to trade?

Thank you so much in advance for your time & thoughts!

Right here.

Mr. Michael Covel,

I enjoyed one of your books (The Complete Turtle Trader) so much recently that I went to pick up your Trend Following book today! Thank you so much for publishing work that speaks to the importance of following market trends, proper risk management and interviews of successful traders. I look forward to starting the Trend Following book this evening.

Respectfully,
Allister M.

Welcome!

Hi Michael,

There are many challenges I have faced with regard to trading. The starting point would be personal discipline with regard to money management and with regard to trend trading. I find it difficult to confirm when a trend has started and then where to place my entry and stop loss.

Regards,
Joe S.

You need a system, No guessing. I can help.

Dear Michael,

Love your podcast. Very pragmatic and to the point.

My biggest frustration with trading at the moment is drawdown 38% from peak at the moment.

I only trade stocks. Trading 20+ years, read the book How to Make Money in Stocks in 2020 and had my first breakthrough trading the COVID rally and made 400%+ in my account, just trading 52 weeks highs and coming out at 10-day moving average as lots of high tight flags were forming like TSLA, JKS and RIOT (blockchain) and cutting loses at 7-8% per trade. Since Feb ‘21, I have suffered death by a thousand cuts and made 2 major errors. Did not short on the way down like Peleton and Zoom and did not realize the market environment had changed until I was down 30% and have traded much smaller since. Since Feb ‘21 I have had 2 winning trades out of 70. Very frustrating but with any trend following there will be drawdowns and this is how I’m taking it and trying to save what’s left of my capital for the next major uptrend. Trading extremely small at the moment to try the gauge when the next uptrend might be. Just have to be patient.

I appreciate you reading my email and look forward to your mini trend trading course.

Keep up the good work.

Best regard
Lee T.

I can help. You need a system and a system mindset.
