Mike, I’m not qualified to test you, but I’ll wholeheartedly agree to the view appeal to your spokesmodel(s)! My biggest challenge in the market was being able to guess which stock was going to split with [name]. You just save me $3,000.00, (by the testimonial speaking NO to hardware / software), via pitches of laptops and 4 monitors from Eddie Z. Thank you! Am trained as a telecom engineer and as a C – 130 B Hercules Flight Engineer… saying that to say that I’m used to planning the outbound, as well as return trip before putting ANY bird in the air. You’ll get no push back from me relating to making a trading plan and executing that plan. Have your Turtle Traders and just ordering Hite’s book on Amazon. Look forward to your coaching.

Dan S.

Thanks.

What is your biggest challenge you have faced with your trading?

My biggest challenge have been to find my trading philosophy and a robust trading system. I have wandered between different methods of portfolio optimizations and then equity research/firm valuation. But none of these have resonated with me or given the performance or mirrored my own limited experience with trading on the market. Trend following is the first time, an approach reflects what I have experienced and seen on the market such as “Don’t miss the bounce, get out early etc”. I need a system with trading rules before hand. I read about the term empathy gap that explains it well: “The empathy gap is a cognitive bias that makes it difficult for people to account for the manner in which differences in mental states affect the way that they and other people make decisions.” I have experienced it. I know that I don’t think as clearly when the heat is on, the thinking needs to already have been done before.

Looking forward for what you have in store!

Start here.

I would say my strategy is entering in low volatility/quiet moments and exit when the crowd gets lively. I heard a statistic that stocks (which is the only asset class I trade at this time) trend less than 20% of the time. I am not certain if this stat is true, but I feel more comfortable trading short terms ranges.

Although the S&P 500 has consolidated a few years before this breakout, I have heard MANY people calling Trend Following dead. Though they are just opinions with no evidence, I am starting to think that not everybody needs to follow a trend to make money with minimum stress. I have tried many times to let my profits run without a final target and have given away paper profits often for either a scratch or a 1 R loss. I am aware this is a personal problem as well, but I think I would like a slower equity curve with smaller profits but with a higher win rate.

That is a nice wish list strategy. Check back in a few years when you learn its not viable.

Hi Michael:

I just love listening to your podcast. You’re a joy to listen to, guests are great and I learn a lot.

I have been trading on and off for a couple of years and have not really made any profit with the trading coach I was with but what it helped me realise was trend following is where I feel most comfortable. That combined with reversals.

I’m coach mentioned once that he could not really live off what he makes trading that’s why he has a business. Ok. Truthful.

I have been thinking for a while about whether to buy your programme because I have spent a lot of trading but not really made anything.

I know you will because that’s what I like about you…the raw, no filters monologues.

Cheers

S.

One step at a time. Learn first, then decide how you will move forward. Telling someone something can’t be done? Not my deal. Read.

To swear … or not to swear … that is the question … whether tis more noble to compose and communicate in well chosen words or to abandon them for the cheap whiskey of a profanity …

It is not a matter of being a goody-two-shoes nor is it a matter of a quick apology from a speaker, but, rather, may I suggest, that a speaker risks squandering the value of his message when assuming such a liberty …

Shakespeare wrote, as I recall, in Macbeth … “the evil men do lives after them … the good is often buried with their bones … ” … “evil”, you may be thinking, is a stretch … it’s just part of the quote … to be more gentle, let’s modify the quote … “the profane emphasis men use lives after them … the good … ”

Your work is way too valuable … in your research and publishing “The Complete Turtle Trader” alone, you have succeeded in changing lives … mine, most definitely, in particular … your books and podcasts … excellent … please continue to contribute …

With my best regards and encouragement for your continued work,

Garrison K.

I don’t consider all profanity bad or cheap. It could appear too much. It might not fit somewhere. But it causes me no internal itch or major issue with me. I definitely don’t connect with absolute abstinence of it. Thanks for the feedback!
