Hi,

I think my main issue was trying to enter early/cheap. But it is hard to guess. The beginining of the trend can also be chaotic, I prefer entering mature and obvious trend.

The immense majority of traders want to guess the direction and force and they believe they follow trend.

Thanks,
Youri P.

PS: I took two of your books on Amazon.

Great. Here to help.

Hello Michael,

I’m just a 4 year trader and this 40% win 60% lose rate is one solid part of my strategy. All is about to read crowd, be patience, be disciplined and just doing the job.

Thank you for the great article.

Btw, Nicolas Darvas most fails were when he was in NY, with crowd and most wins when he was far from crowd while he was studying his breakouts. No need feeling and emotion shakers. Just execution due to your solid strategy.

Regards,
Noyan Y.

Great feedback.

Hello again,

Have you read this book? I’m half way through, and it’s fascinating.

It’s written by a champion poker player. It has so much in common with trading.

Mainly: probability, and sticking to a system, despite short run challenges.

Here’s the link, to read a few reviews.

All the best,
Ed

She’s been on my podcast many times!
