“I am addicted to your podcast…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael,

I am addicted to your podcast because it is so much more than “trend following”, as the real trend is not in the stock market or any financial market, but in lifestyle and how we interact with those around us.

I am currently listening to your podcast Episode 600 interview with Roger Ver, and it keeps bringing me back to [Name] of The [Name] Podcast. He has a unique and valuable perspective on the economy, especially regarding the political landscape. I would Love for you to have him on your show, as he is a strong libertarian/anarchist but has thought through concepts deeply and is willing to say “I don’t know”. Much like how you communicate that “trend-following” is much more than a trading strategy, he has taught that “permaculture” systems can be applied to all aspects of life, much more than just planting a garden.

Thanks for your valuable podcast and perspective.

“The words ‘Trend Following’ fascinate me so much…”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I’m enjoying the reading of your new book Trend Following, 5th edition, as I did with the previous one which I’ve read many times and that is at the top of my personal trading/investing library of 100 books!

The words “Trend Following” fascinate me so much that I think to it from morning till night! I literally love this investing philosophy and I admire your passion, skill and knowledge on this subject.

Now I’ve published a little book that I wrote about investing and that condensate all my personal path: since the beginning in 2008 with intraday trading (3 minutes bars!), to passive index investing (which did not make any sense to my mind) and at last to Trend Following, which I appreciated since the beginning but that I was not able to adopt because of my personal bias and errors (that is, ignorance). Driven by curiosity I wanted to try other paths even if I was aware of the uncertainty of such a costly decision. When I finally I fully appreciated the power of Trend Following philosophy I decided to put it in writings so to have my personal “beacon” without being distracted by other types of approach to investing. With my little book I hope also to contribute divulge in my small way the superiority of this investing philosophy (there’s is also an Italian version on Amazon since last spring).

I would appreciate very much to know what you think about my little book. I can send you a PDF or a kindle version by mail.

Kind regards,
[Name], Italy

I will read it. Thanks!

Michael,

I hope you are well.

I just wanted you to know that I walk to keep fit listening to your Podcasts. Since I started lost loads of weight and been inspired! Thank you for the Chris Voss (FBI kidnap negotiator) interview – this was the most inspiring interview for me. I read his book and downloaded the audio. Use his techniques daily in my work. It works too!

On the trading front [name] book started me on the trend follow route which lead me to you. I note whilst you mention [name] – he is low key compared to the other Turtles. It would be great if you had an interview with him.

I have read your books and in the process of downloading the audio versions! They are awesome. Michael – THANK YOU for your inspirational PODCASTS and BOOKS!

With Kind Regards

Hi Michael.

Thank you for your website.

I think I must have purchased 3 copies of your book Trend Following, over the years, but whenever we moved house they somehow got misplaced.

I run a small Hedge fund, and have been trading Fx options since 1997. Been reading up on Ed Seykota & the Turtles for as long as I can remember, but always used Market profile for my intra-day hedging of my options portfolios, when working at my previous employers (i.e. investment banks).

I run a Fx Volatility fund, but I am never delta neutral, as I look to benefit from trends and try to position accordingly.

Example – I am currently long USDJPY, and have written USD PUTS, to pick up the volatility premium and also run the delta as well as buying USD ag JPY to create a clearly long USD view.

Reasons for writing the PUTS, is that it allows me to pick up theta, even when the market move sideways.

I signed up to your website, as I feel that working in a bank has taken away my focus on trend following, and would ideally like to sharpen my focus and also learn about more/”NEW” ideas to identify trends etc.

Your thoughts and insights will be greatly appreciated.

NB: I use 20 day Donchians breakout with + Joe Di Napolis 25×5 SMA as a Filter, as well as the parabolic PSAR to exit trades .

Kind regards,
