The biggest challenge I face is placing a trade after I had a losing streak. I tend to talk myself right out of trades, leaving me wondering if I ever knew what I was doing to begin with. There’s always this paralyzing nervousness that prevents me from clicking the order button. I also tend to hope on losing trades, but I have gotten better at being disciplined in letting the stop loss hit (instead of moving it back).

You need a system. You need:

• Exact rules for selecting your tracking portfolio.
• Exact rules for entering your trades at the right time.
• Exact rules for exiting your trades with a loss.
• Exact rules for exiting your trades with a profit.
• Exact rules for how much money to bet on each trade.

See my FAQS below.

As a 20-year-old trader, I struggle a lot with being impatient.

PS: I love your work, Mr. Covel

Do you have a strategy and time frame now?

At the moment, I just use a 200 Simple Moving Average and 4 Hour Timeframe. When the market is about to close I just buy or sell if the price is above or below the MA. I also use the ATR for money management.

The 4-hour will kill you. Guaranteed. Lose the day trading!

Biggest challenge is the small details to complete my trend following system. Basically, asset selection, limiting risk by industry (i.e. agricultural, energy, etc). My head is gonna explode!

Michael,

Since you asked what is your biggest challenge you have faced with your trading? I’ll tell you, feeling confident in my trade plans and making actual profits that can support my life. According to my stats a 75-80% win rate is good but I’m not bringing in the money I feel I should.

If I hear 75-80% win rate? That’s a problem. A huge problem.

Michael,

Nice interview with Jim Cullen. Some great stories. Well done. Listening to the Basso book. Outstanding. It’s unbelievable listening to the 2012 interview, almost like it’s yesterday given all that has happened. Carry on! If you ever issue an NFT, I’ll buy it. Your bankman monologue was one of your best! Classic.

William P.

Thanks!
