Trend Following: “First, I am a big fan…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

First, I am a big fan and particularly liked your books on TurtleTraders and Trend Following.

I used info in those books to invest with [name]. I am looking for some younger/up and coming players/traders in the Trend following space. Is there a list of somewhere of the next generation of traders doing this sort of thing for investor that you could recommend? Or a few people who you feel are going about it in the right way (like Tom Shanks or Jerry Parker)? I would appreciate an insight you have.

Thank you,
[Name]

I avoid recommendations, but across my books and podcast you can see so many names. I know that’s not ordered necessarily, but it’s not something I keep track of tightly. It just requires a little sifting on your end.

“[Your work] has helped transform my thinking on investing, trading and life…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I love your work. Podcast, books and website. It has helped transform my thinking on investing, trading and life in general. A larger portion of my investment and trading capital has moved to a semi-automated longer term diversified trend following portfolio. My returns have improved and more importantly my peace of mind about my investment portfolio has sky rocketed.

My “day job” of driving a Tractor Trailer for the big brown machine leaves me with a lot of time to listen to podcasts. I love many of them. You are a great interviewer. None of them feel canned or forced. The Tom Basso and Ed Seykota interviews especially. I just finished re-listening to the interview with Amy Herman and I am almost done with her book Visual Intelligence. Both are fascinating. A recommendation for a similar interview would be Betty Edwards author of Drawing on the Right side of the Brain. It gives another method of using art, drawing to help transform your perspective of the world around us. Have you ever tried to get Edward Thorp on your podcast? I would love to hear you talk with him. A fascinating person but most interviews I have heard with him have been painful to say the least. Not because of him but the interviewer did not know their stuff.

Thank you for your great work. I still have a lot to listen to and read.

Thanks for the nice words!

My guest today is Moritz Czubatinski. He started off as a professional poker player but wanted a more legitimate way of making money. He started his trading career with zero education in finance and now trades off 8 to 10 charts for 6 to 8 hours a day. He was use to playing 24 tables of poker at a time (online) so Moritz is use to the constant action. Moritz Czubatinski specializes in helping traders get going. He has been traveling, trading and running a business for about 8 years. Tradeciety, his first business, was formed to help traders get started in the markets. Next, Moritz started a trading journal software company called Edgewonk. Every trader needs a journal, and when Moritz started out trading, there were no practical journals available.

The topics are trading and poker.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Bitcoin
  • Currencies
  • Win rates vs. Risk ratios
  • Trading time frames
  • Poker

“Really enjoyed the interview with Tyler Cowen…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Really enjoyed the interview with Tyler Cowen. As I was listening I was thinking about Detroit and Dan Gilbert. I don’t live there, but I do work for Quicken Loans. That’s probably impacted my perception of the city, but there are big things happening. I don’t feel like Gilbert is playing it safe. Maybe other billionaires do similar type things, but I don’t remember seeing it, especially where I live near Cincinnati.

Here’s an article, if you’re interested – link.

The podcast is great, keep up the good work.

Thanks!

My guest today is Rob Arnott, an entrepreneur, author, investor, and writer. He serves as Chairman and CEO of Research Affiliates LLC. advising on over $160 billion dollars in institutional investment assets. Rob is one of the worlds preeminent voices on investment strategy. Rob has been with quantitative investing since it’s inception in the 70’s. With the rise in computer capabilities, quant traders were able to start to make a name for themselves in the trading community.

The topic is quantitative investing.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • An addiction to complexity
  • Fundamental indexing
  • Momentum trading
  • How to use valuation
  • Benchmarks
  • Diversification
  • Modern finance
  • Weighting your portfolio

“I think the quant community has a lot of issues. Some of them relate to an addiction to complexity and some of it relates to a willingness to obfuscate. If you make your ideas complex enough so that nobody can understand it, that creates a seduction attraction to some, but people shouldn’t buy something they don’t understand.” – Rob Arnott

“We are in a business where you win by making fewer errors.” – Rob Arnott
