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.

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.

“This is how I’m taking it and trying to save what’s left of my capital for the next major uptrend…”

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.

“Your selection of guests, topics and interviewing skills are at an elite level…”

[Biggest challenge on trading] Running a mandated, concentrated, retail discretionary portfolio makes it challenging to use trend following due to the issue of excessive trading generating not only trading fees but more importantly, tax implications.

As a result, I tend to hold on to losers too long.

John S.

Trend following though is not day trading. Not excessive trading if time frame is longer.

I need better long-term trend signals to guide my trading. Perhaps based on weekly or monthly trend changes rather than daily.

By the way – I have been listening to your podcast since 2015. I’m an avid podcast listener and I follow some impressive, well-known podcasters. However I must say that your selection of guests, topics and interviewing skills are at an elite level and I enjoy yours the most, among all others.

I also share your love of freedom and focus on good health habits. Following bypass surgery in 2015, I rehabilitated my diet and lifestyle, lost 50lbs and stopped taking all medications. I have never been healthier, and I’m older than you are.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks!

“If you would be so kind and share with me those markets…”

Hello Michael,

Your podcast continues to inspire my trading.  Ep. 1184 was very much enjoyed. I am embarrassed to tell you that I have not purchased your 2 new books yet, but I will. I do have the other 5.

But I have attached a short video of my TF book. You may notice when I read it I use a highlighter now for the 3rd time I use a different colored highlighter. It amazes me how much better I understand trading after I read more. As I have stated many times, trading is a very lonely endeavor, and the market does not care if you ever get it or not. It also amazes me when I refer to the few trading friends that have to listen to your podcast and read your books that they are to stupid to invest in themselves, a little continued education.

In our last correspondence you stated what I was doing was not trend following. I believe I was not clear. So to keep it simple, I have attached my TF logic. I think it is my best work EVER. My Flagship. I don’t mind sending because I believe as you do most guys are trading similarly. There is no covert issue. I trade Daily bars but I cheat a little and enter the market with 4 hour bars. Read my logic. I would be interested in your opinion.

Although TF is my flagship model. I like to think I am a junior, [name]. I trade 2 additional strategies in shorter time frames when the markets are not trending. As I believe markets trend only 30-35% of the time.

I am now 100% systematic. I am currently trading 12 markets. I remember hearing that you had put together 50 mostly non-correlated markets. I would like to expand, if you would be so kind and share with me those markets I would appreciate it greatly.

Finally, please put together a summit. Guys like me would benefit greatly from such an event. I would travel across the country for such an event.

Best wishes!
Craig R.

Thanks!
