Hi Michael,

I bought your book when it first launched and I loved it!

I was an award winning mutual fund manager but unfortunately I made big mistakes and lost everything. I got involved in building businesses and brands and I lost investors their capital. I’m probably going to jail for a long time.

In order to keep my mind active and in order to find a way to make my family money one day, I want to trade. I’m following [name] as I agree with his short term strategy, but for the long term its trend following.

I didn’t realize I was subscribing to a course. I just bought the latest edition of your great book and I’m looking forward to reading it.

Regards

Thomas

Jail? That sucks. Don’t bend down to grab the soap!

“I am also going through all your podcasts…”

Feedback in:

Hello Mr. Covel

My name is [name] and I bring news that word of Trend Following has reached as far as north as Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. I am writing you to sincerely thank you for all your work, as you have changed my life by shattering any illusions I had of working for the next 40 years in hopes that there will be some pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, i.e. retirement/pensions. I initially bought Turtle Trader on Audible, which prompted me to buy not one but two copies of Trend Following, ebook and hard copy. My current front runner for strategies is the [name] rule since it is easy to implement on my trading platform.

I started simulating in January of this year and continue to do so, while slowly easing into putting on positions with my own money. I am currently an account holder with [name], which gives me exposure to 100-150 markets to track, read simulate without risking the inevitable draw downs. I focus on currencies, commodities and indices, since those are the most accessible markets with my broker, and most liquid for a beginner like myself.

I am also going through all your podcasts, currently on episode 73, they are an excellent supplement to my reading providing insight from those who have come before me. I am currently struggling with setting stops so that I don’t wipe out, while giving the position “room to breathe” and perform. I still have much to catch up on as I am late to the party, but somehow still earlier than most people my age and even older. Thank you again for all you do, as for the nay sayers out there, like we say in the Yukon, “fuck’em.”

Best Regards,
[name]

Thanks! Yes, fuck ’em.

Ep. 787: Matt Kepnes Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Matt Kepnes, an American travel blogger. Kepnes was born in Boston. At 23, he had never left the United States but in 2005 he took a trip to Thailand. The trip convinced Kepnes to quit his job, finish his MBA, and begin traveling the world and blogging about his experiences.

The topic is his book Ten Years a Nomad.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • After meeting some travelers on a trip to Thailand in 2005, he realized that living life meant more than simply meeting society’s traditional milestones, such as buying a car, paying a mortgage, and moving up the career ladder. Inspired by them, he set off for a year-long trip around the world before he started his career. He finally came home after ten years.

What is your biggest challenge?

I ask the question: what is your biggest challenge?

One answer:

Michael,

Focus on one system, or strategy, and filtering out the noise. I get distracted trying to find information on the latest new thing, tech, cannabis, crypto, EV, autonomous cars, etc.

Tom F.

I just imagine all the channels turned on, all the papers delivered and magazines everywhere.

Doesn’t work.

Some starts: 1, 2, 3, 4.

“When looking at these performance returns as a reader is there any significance…”

Feedback in:

Hi! Michael Covel,

I had a quick overall question about your book Trend Following 5th Edition.

You used performance data.

When looking at these performance returns as a reader is there any significance we should get from reviewing these?

Also, I study candlestick charts in order to become a better trader trading stocks…the importance of knowing how to read and comprehend the many patterns on the candlestick charts.

Reading your book is there any techniques or strategies that I will need to learn in order to be successful at Trend Following?

Also, do you have any recommendations on how you became efficient in reading charts over the years?

Thank you in advance for your wisdom and suggestions.

Best
Kay

Bad news:

Chart reading? Bullshit.

Candlesticks? Bullshit.

Good news:

Why is performance data useful?

Read.
