The biggest challenge that I have found is just trying to sort through the flood of information out there on how to trade and closely following that is trying to determine how to find stocks to purchase. I got your book back in 2006 when I was in the Navy. We pulled into Guam and I picked it up in a bookstore there, along with some other investing books. I did not have much to invest at the time so I never really did much with putting anything into practice. The premises of Trend Following has stuck with me and over the years I found myself trying to use different things from all the different books I read on that deployment. Over the years i have also put aside some money into a trading account to see how I could do. Over the years I have had some successes but mostly failures. Recently i have managed to make a small profit by selling puts while still dabbing in buying some actual stock as well. However I found that my purchases are all over the place with very little reasoning behind them. My wife liked the color of Trend Following without the dust cover and decided as she was decorating our living room to use it as an accent piece. Due to us having a very young child the room had been blocked off with a gate and I hardly went in there. Recently I have been spending time in there with my three year old, she loves puzzles and I told her that she could help with a grown up puzzle. The living room was the one place we could put the puzzle where my soon to be one year old could not get to it. I saw the book and have slowly been rereading it as well as researching trend trading online. My path to this point has been long with much more than just is in this email and I know there is much further to go but I do think I have been trending towards being a trend trader.

Building a sound foundational methodology to work from is my challenge. I’m starting after years of being away from the trading world and this time I want to approach it from scratch with seriousness and respect, to trade with discipline and with a solid foundation in place.

Thank you!
Also, I have really enjoyed your work. I first discovered the Complete Turtle book as a recommendation from Amazon on the Kindle Store. I stayed up that night until 2:30 AM reading it to the end, and spent the entire next day reading through Trend Following. I really enjoy your writing style and willingness to share your knowledge and experience as well as that of others. And being a research computer scientist in my normal work, I quite enjoy your incredibly detailed bibliographies and regular use of references. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!

The mindset of a gambler. Not following my rules. Buying on the drop…..Discipline! I have read TurtleTrader many times and consider it one of my sacred bibles. I have adjusted some of the rules to my liking with using Ichimoku Trading strategies and Turtle trading which is kind of working fine right now. I usually trade Gold, GBP,USD, Stocks and Oil.
Best regards,

You’re all over the map. Stop all of that outside of TurtleTrader. My FAQS will bring you into a different way of thinking.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for the information. To answer your question, I would say my biggest challenge is finding the balance between discretion and structure in my trading.
