Hi Michael, I hope this email finds you well.

My name is [name], and I am an 18-year-old high school student attending Fairfield University in the fall of 2025 to study finance. I have been actively watching your series on Trend Following and would like to join the cult. I have just purchased some of your titles off Amazon, including The Little Book of Trading, Trend Following Masters, and Trend Following Mindset. I plan to rip through these as soon as I get them later this week. I am unsure of the full extent of what your “full course” entails, but I wanted to try to get a late Cyber Monday discount if it is still available. I am very thankful for your work, which aligns perfectly with what I have been looking for / building towards over the past few years. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Mason Andrews

Discount sent!

Trend Following is for beginners, students and pros in all countries. This is not day trading 5-minute bars, prediction or analyzing fundamentals–it’s Trend Following.

Excerpt:

He wanted to be a starting quarterback. At Michigan, he wasn’t starting, and he was so low on the depth chart (fourth) that he only got 2 reps in practice. With three quarterbacks standing in his way of getting what he wanted, Brady decided to transfer. He met with his coach to express his frustration, “The other quarterbacks get all the reps.” His coach replied, “Brady, I want you to stop worrying about what all the other players on our team are doing. All you do is worry about what the starter is doing, what the second guy on the depth chart is doing, what everyone else is doing. You don’t worry about what you’re doing.” Coach reminded him, “You came here to be the best. If you’re going to be the best, you have to beat out the best.” And then he recommended that Brady start meeting with Greg Harden, a counselor who worked in Michigan’s athletic department. “There’s all of these guys ahead of me on the depth chart,” Brady told Harden. “I’m never going to get a chance here. They’re only giving me 2 reps.” Harden simply replied, “Just go out there and focus on doing the best you can with those 2 reps. Make them as perfect as you possibly can.” “So that’s what I did,” Brady said. “They’d put me in for those 2 reps, man, I’d sprint out there like it was Super Bowl 39. ‘Let’s go boys! Here we go! What play we got?’” “And I started to do really well with those 2 reps. Because I brought enthusiasm, I brought energy.” Using the Harden tactic, soon, the 2 reps went up to 4 reps. Then from 4 to 10, “and before you knew it,” Brady said, “with this new mindset that Greg instilled in me—to focus on what you can control, to focus on what you’re getting, not what anyone else is getting, to treat every rep like it’s the Super Bowl—eventually, I became the starter.”

That’s it.
