Funny, I wrote a course called ‘What is Enough?’ back in 2010. It was based on some of the work by Joe Dominguez in ‘Your Money or Your Life’ It’s been used to this day but I hadn’t updated it and folks were asking me to bring it all current.

I originally included your movie ‘Broke – The New American Dream‘ in that course as a recommended part of the homework in the first class. It’s very hard to find now. I have a copy I bought on Amazon in February or 2010, but there aren’t any easy ways to stream it today that I can find. Anyway that’s part of the updating process.

While working on the course I found you searching for a streaming copy of the movie. It seems really relevant now. Always fascinated by the synchronicity. I’d read The Complete TurtleTrader years ago, but didn’t remember you as the author. I saw your newsletter tonight while doing some research and decided to sign up–that’s the question you didn’t ask.

Now to answer your question: What is your biggest challenge you have faced with your Trading? Fear of losing. I too often let my losers run and cut my winners short to show a profit. I’ve been trading since 2008 and that’s been the most difficult habit I’ve struggled with.

Todd

Hi Michael,

So far, my biggest challenge is how to. I’m only starting to get into it and I’d rather educate myself first and then enter the markets with some knowledge of what is happening, why, how to react, and how to. I’ve been studying many books and watched lots of videos too, mostly studied trader and market behavior and psychology, some technical analysis, starting on money management, starting on creating my trading system too. My biggest concern so far is how to pick the stock you want to study and trade.

Thanks for reading!

What about a portfolio? One stock alone will not cut it.

As for trend followers a good volume indicator is our oxygen… I’m starting out so my question is which volume indicators would you recommend?

Volume is not part of the trend following.

MICHAEL:

Thank you for all you do.

Thank you for your research.

Thank you for your books.

Thank you for your inspiration.

Thank you for your wisdom.

My first introduction to trend following/trading was your book(s). The TurtleTraders fired my imagination and desire to learn more. A trend follower now for the past 10 years. And was just recently asking myself the question: “Who are the people that might be interested in trend following, but aren’t getting it?”

Everyone gets what they want — to paraphrase Ed Seykota.

Michael,

Thank you for sharing this important trading resource. I am getting back into trading and I am having a hard time identifying exit points. I appreciate that once you enter a trade, barring a material change to the trend, your next move (i.e. add more to or get out of the position) is predetermined. It seems difficult to know when to “let it ride” versus when to take smaller gains and move on. Also, given the amount of algorithm-based trading, it seems that 1-3 month position trading has many benefits, but I need to learn more about entry points for that time horizon that is not based on fundamentals or news.
Thank you very much and I look forward to your course.

Best,
Ryan
