Trend Following Passion and Common Sense

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Michael, thank you very much for putting the truth out there! I was introduced to Trend Following about a year ago after trading (unsuccessfully) with the Elliott Wave Principle for eight (8) or so years. I lost a little capital at a time but in all, took losses of about $40,000 USD. Something had to change and it was when I was introduced by a trend following system being marketed to me via a pop up window while browsing the internet of all places. Well, I bit, tried it out, and quickly found it to be a more realistic view of the markets and it made rational sense. After a few weeks I saw potential and devoted many many sleepless nights back-testing and tweaking systems and the results now have been phenomenal to say the least. Over the past nine (9) months I’ve taken [blank] and turned it into just over [blank], fairly conservatively.

Your blog posts, your podcasts, and lastly your books have been there to mainly keep me going, remembering the plan, striving to do the same thing day in day out, win or lose. It’s so rare to have support as a trader and your message and content have helped immensely. My plan moving forward is to grow my personal futures trading account to over [blank] in the next twelve (12) years and along with using my current system, listening and reading your content is going to get the job done in time. I thank you very much good sir for your passion for common sense investing and your willingness to share and assist in an industry that is typically full of poor advice.

Looking forward to meeting you one day,

Willful Ignorance: Trend Following Radio Feedback

Feedback in:

“Most of the misinformation is not deliberate. People want to be led astray. They constantly ask the wrong questions, and those selling information get rewarded by giving them the answers they want.” -Van K. Tharp, Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom

I think CNBC will be around in 50 years, probably answering the same types of questions.

Love the podcast.

My guest today is Peter Gray, an American psychologist who currently occupies the position of research professor of psychology at Boston College. He is also a well known critic of standard learning systems, and calls himself an evolutionary developmental psychologist. He studies why children are the way they are by asking questions like: Why are children so playful? Why are they so willful? Why do children do what they do?

The topic is his book Free to Learn: Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Hunter gatherer cultures
  • Self-reliance
  • Evolution of development in youth
  • Pros and cons of video games
  • Ways of implicating free play back into society

“You can’t learn to be an adult unless you can get away from adults.” – Peter Grey

“You and I Must be Related”

Posted on by Michael Covel

Feedback in:

Hi Michael,

I’ve been listening to your podcast for over a year now, and it is truly excellent! The interviews, the guests, and the first-rate information they provide is invaluable. I just left a rating on iTunes. You and I must be distantly related (aren’t we all?). My mother’s maiden name was Coval, and her father was John Coval, from the Ukraine (Skala).

Please send me the right trend following steps to continue my knowledge. Also, would you please send me your free video.

Thanks,
[Name]

Thanks, but not related!

How is Covel pronounced? Co-vell. “Co” rhymes with toe. “Vell” rhymes with bell. Equally accented each syllable. It was shortened from Covalesky, which was shortened originally from Kavaliauskas (which is father’s Lithuanian side).
