For me the biggest issue [on trading] is getting out too early. My training is in Japanese candlestick signals, and I will see a bearish engulfing or dark cloud cover for example and exit upon confirmation. Then the next thing that happens is it reverses and I miss out on the gains. The latest example is with NVDA. I got out when I was up just over 20%, but then watched as it kept going. I purchased the Trend Following book, so I am going through that now.

The best thing I can get you to do is forget you ever heard of candlesticks. They are not valid.

Hi Mike,

‘Oh my god’, you gave me the shivers at the end of this one, brilliant mate.

I remember the aids adverts on tele and being very scared at a young age when I saw those. What a fucked up world, ‘if you let ’em.’

Thank you for the pointers.

Karl

Hi Michael,

I read the two books you recommend at the end of your video (and I watched the video too.)

I have a question.

You demonstrate convincingly that for a large account (or better yet, for a CPA) it is a stable and reliable technique to select a diversified portfolio and manage it with some trend following strategy. You even demonstrate that the nature of the strategy matters less than diversification.

I understand that.

The question is, do you recommend using a trend following strategy for an account of let’s say $10,000. Or $1,000. I.e. for an account size where diversification is not a realistic option.

I didn’t find (so far) an answer to this question in the material I reviewed. Do you have it in some other book or website of yours? I.e. (I assume) some technique on how to select one stock or futures for this account-size and how to select one trend following strategy for it. Or you don’t recommend trend following for smaller accounts?

Thanks.

Of course, super small accounts are trouble. That’s true for any strategy.
