Sir,

In your last podcast you mentioned you had your come to Jesus moment with AI. Could you share a little more of what you discovered. I am one of those who is extremely skeptical of AI too like you were. Just curious what you saw or learned that changed your thinking or opinion of it.

I also have to say your podcast on data March 7, 2024 was the best podcast I’ve ever heard and I share it with everyone that I know. When I listen to that podcast, I must’ve listened to it five times over and over and over. I just wanted to say thank you for putting that podcast together as well.

Thanks,
J. P.

One reason.

Hi Michael,

I am writing an algorithm to run autonomously. I want to use the 2-minute time frame to make the travel smoother to follow. Below are my questions on 2 issues I would really love your suggestions. I have read your Trend Commandments and The Rule by Hite. I have enjoyed reading both of them.

Question 1: Who would be the best person that could train me in using Bayes’ Theorem?

Question 2: Example: when following a strong trend, what is the best way to handle a possible directional change?

• Wait for 3 price bars to form, i.e., test, test, and retest, then jump in? Example: price bars with higher lows and higher highs, then jump in on the uptrend?
• Moving average lines, i.e., 19-day, 50-day, 200-day.
• RSI, Relative Strength Index over 70 and/or under 30. This would not catch the in-between 30 and 70 numbers.
• MACD Lines with Graphs.
• Use the 15-second and 30-second price bar development time frames to get the indication?
• Use the Level 2 on Think-or-Swim? Buyers versus sellers?
• What are the best OBSERVABLE FACTS that could be used to move on a change in the direction of the price bars, i.e., trend change?

Thank you very much,
K. H.

This is not trend following. I would not recommend your outline. Run from a 2-minute time frame.

I struggle most with developing a stable trading strategy. I’ve taken several courses over the last year and signed up with a trading academy for $3000 plus $49 monthly for live training. I’m also looking at CEF investing as well.

Appreciate it,
Ebert M.

Hi Michael Sir,

Here’s my story:

1. After my learning journey was over for trading (or so I thought), I followed three systems when I entered the market:
a) Trend following system
b) Swing or positional setups
c) Options setups

2. At the end of the first year of trading (FY 2023), I realized I earned nothing because what I made in trend following, I lost in swing or options trades.

3. So, in the second year (FY 2024), I rejected swing and options systems and focused on trend following. I diverted all capital to trend-following.

4. Made big money initially, but then came the drawdowns, and for a moment, it seemed trend following was also a failure. So, I ran out of the market after booking losses.

5. Shut trading completely and started reading Turtle Trading and Trend Following by you saved my trading career.

6. I realized that if I had stuck to just one system of trend following until the end, I would have made big money this year.

7. But to have the brass balls to stick through, my money management needed to be right. I was over-leveraged, so I ran away when the drawdown came.

8. Year 1 was about trying systems, Year 2 was about learning to manage money with just one system and actually understanding the philosophy behind trend following rather than just learning a system and jumping into the market. Hopefully, Year 3 (FY 2025), I can come back to you with a success story—not just by result, but by demonstrating a Turtle mindset while facing the market through and through.

My sincerest thanks to you!

Regards,
Amrit S.

Go trend following only!
