Du behöver inte vara ett matematiskt geni för att vara en Trend Following trader. Goda handelsregler är inte komplicerade. En berömd trendföljare på sin enkelhet (40 års track record): Jag är väldigt obekväm med svart boxhandel där jag hanterar algoritmer jag inte förstår. Allt vi gör kan vi göra på baksidan av ett kuvert med en penna. Det är sättet att tänka på. Antag exempelvis att GOOG handlar mellan 650 och 670. GOOG plötsligt hoppar eller bryts ut till en prisnivå på 700. Den typen av uppåtgående rörelse från ett intervall är en utlösare - posten. Du kanske säger, jag vet inte om GOOG kommer att fortsätta, men det har gått i sidled i sex månader, och plötsligt har priset hoppat till 700 vilket gör en ny sexmånaders högsta höjd.

Handlare är olika. De har en definierad strategi för vinst i alla klimat. Trend efter handlare bryr sig inte vad de köper eller säljer så länge de tjänar pengar. Absoluta Returer. Trend Following har över genomsnittet prestanda under de senaste 7 årtiondena. Möjligheten att förena rikedom är enorm. Upp och Ned trender. Trend Följande gör pengar på upp och ner marknader, tjur eller björn. Svansrisk. Michaels unika trendstrategi utförs över genomsnittet när marknadsbubblor popar när Black Swan kommer. Trenden följde till exempel stora pengar under Stock Crash (197374), Black Monday (1987), Barings Bank (1995), LTCM Amp Asian Ascension (1998), Stock Crash (2000-02), 911 (2001), Great Recession (2008-09), Oljemarknaden (2014-16) och Brexit (2016). Portföljdiversifiering. Trend Följande avkastningar är okorrelerade med traditionella investeringar. Fungerar på alla marknader. Trend Following handlar inte en enda marknad. Ineffektiva marknader. Trend Följande går emot den akademiska nonsens av den effektiva marknadshypotesen (EMH). Forskning. Trend Following har gynnat i århundraden. Granska tredjepartsforskningen: PDF 1 och PDF 2. Nurture Beats Nature. Vinnande handlare har inte en speciell gen, gudomlig gåva, medfödd talang, inuti kunskap eller stort startkapital. Allt strömmar. Trendföljare reagerar på marknadsrörelser och följer med - utan en historia om varför. Statistisk tänkande är paramount. Under en Monday Night Football-spel sätter Ron Jaworski siffror i perspektiv: Spela uppringning handlar om sannolikhet inte säkerhet. Marknadsbubblor. Den mytologiska 100 års översvämningen händer hela tiden. Sedan 1929 har det funnits 18 marknadskrascher - alltid rotad i irrationell överflöd. Grundläggande är religion. Att omskifta näringsidkare Paul Tudor Jones: Illusionen har skapats för att det finns en förklaring till varje marknadsrörelse med den primära uppgiften att finna den förklaringen. Trend Efter behöver inte nyheter, grunder eller diagrammönster. Det är inte dagshandel. Marknaden är aldrig fel. Människor pine nonstop för marknaden att gå deras riktning, sedan hänga på och be det kommer tillbaka om det inte går till deras fördel. Marknaden är aldrig fel. Du måste satsa på att vinna. Ta en stor risk om du vill ha en stor belöning. Om du vill ha en genomsnittlig belöning, ta en genomsnittlig risk. Inga bollar, inga spädbarn. Men, som Larry Hite sa, Beta inte din deli för att vinna en pickle. Process Beats Outcome. Vill du vara rätt eller rik Du har verkligen ingen kontroll över resultaten du har kontroll över din åtgärd. Du kan bara kontrollera hur mycket du förlorar. Tänk som Kenny Rogers. Om du måste spela bestämma tre saker i början: spelets regler, insatserna och slutspelet. Du måste veta när du ska hålla dem. Vet när du vill lägga dem. Vet när du ska gå bort. Vet när du ska springa. Beteende biaser. Lärdomarna hos de största handelspsykologiprocesserna är en del av Trend Following. Se podcasten. Lär dig att älska förluster. P. T. Barnum berömd sagt, det här sättet till utträdet Om den berömda näringsidkaren Amos Hostetter förlorade 25 procent hedavbrott: Oroa dig inte osten. Låt mig ut ur fällan. Teknik är ingen älskarinna. Pablo Picasso berömd sagt, datorer är värdelösa. De kan bara ge dig svar. Börja med att besvara dina dagliga marknadsfrågor i förväg. Automatiserande svar är den enkla delen. Zero Sum Battles är livet. Om du kommer att vinna, kommer någon annan att förlora. Går överlevnad av de fittesta dig oroliga Håll dig borta från nollbeloppet (PDF). Hero Worship dödar konton. När TV-kunder säger att det är dags att köpa Google eller dumpa Apple, följer miljontals blinda blindtråd. Drick inte Kool-Aid. Köp och håll (Hope) är Dead. Köp och håll verk för investerare som lever för alltid. Det fungerar också för dem som tror på magiskt tänkande och pixie damm. Ömsesidiga fonder och kosmetika: De båda säljer hopp. Inga balansräkningar. Det spelar ingen roll om du handlar aktier eller sojabönor: Handel handlar och namnet på spelet är att tjäna pengar, inte få ett A i Hur man läser ett balansräkningar Inga överdelar och bottnar. Trend efter syftar till att fånga mitten, eller köttet, av en marknadsutveckling, upp eller ner, för vinst. Du kommer aldrig in i absolut botten eller gå ut på absolut topp. Har marknader förändrats Inte bara marknader har förändrats, de kommer att fortsätta att förändras: Om du har en giltig marknadsfilosofi, lär du dig att acceptera den förändringen och flöda med den är din största tillgång. Oavsett hur löjliga marknadsförflyttningar förekommer i början, och oavsett hur förlängd eller irrationell de verkar i slutet, är följande trender det rationella valet i en kaotisk, föränderlig värld. Det var hur ägaren till Red Sox gjorde sin trend efter lycka. Verklig verklighet. Om du vill tjäna pengar på vilken marknad som helst, måste du spegla vad marknaden gör. Andra saker lika mycket desto längre blir du rätt med marknaden, desto mer pengar kommer du att göra. Ju längre du håller fel på marknaden, desto mer pengar kommer du att förlora. Pris gör marknader samma. Du behöver inte veta någonting om obligationer. Du behöver inte förstå olika valutor. De är bara siffror. Corn är lite annorlunda än obligationer, men inte tillräckligt olika för att handla dem annorlunda. Vissa människor har ett annat system för varje marknad. Det är absurt. Du handlar mobpsykologi. Du handlar inte majs, sojabönor eller SampP. Du är bara handelsnummer. Ingen diskretion. Du kan inte testa eller simulera hur du kände när du kom ur sängen för 15 år sedan när du tittar på historiska simuleringar. Om du ska handla med ett system måste du slaviskt använda systemet och undvika diskretionella överstyrningar. Du gör vad som helvete systemet säger oavsett hur smart eller dum du kanske tror att det är just nu. Rätt satsning. Om du har 100 000 och du vill byta guld, hur mycket av dina 100 000 kommer du att handla med guld på din första handel. Kommer du att handla alla 100 000 Vad händer om du är fel! Om du är fel på en stor väg, och du förlorar hela din 100.000 på ett spel Inte smart. Äktenskapsförord ​​. Den viktigaste faktorn när marknaden går emot dig kan säga: Jag mår att du behöver ett avtal med marknaden. Det betyder att tiden för att tänka klart när du kommer att lämna är innan du någonsin kommer in. Home Run Trades. En trend som följer baseball tränare skulle närma sig den som den tidigare chefen för Baltimore Orioles: Earl Weaver utformade sina brott för att maximera chansen på en tre-run homer. Weaver gjorde inte bunt eller vill killar som slog singlar. Han ville ha killar som slog stora hemlöpningar. Babe Ruth Parallell. Babe Ruth slog ut mycket, men han var en av baseballs största sluggers. Hans hemlöpning gjorde upp för strikeouts. Trend Följande fångar Babe Ruth hemlöpningar. Beväpnad utan högskoleexamen gjorde han sin förmögenhet med trenden efter och köpte Red Sox. Din utmaning Hur bäst ska du investera eller handla med ständig osäkerhet. Hur handlar du bäst med marknadsbubblor för vinst? Det är kritiska frågor. Och tusentals kunder har anställt Michael för hans visdom för de svaren. Nu kan vi gå tillbaka och tänka på stor bild. Under de senaste 15 åren har det varit flera bommar och byster. Det har gjorts regeringar riggning från bailouts till kvantitativ lättnad (QE) till nollräntepolicy (ZIRP) till negativ räntepolitik (NIRP). Dessa policyer försäkrar att alla marknader går upp och ner hela tiden. Men här är tricket: Ingen kan förutsäga marknadsriktningen. Men oroa dig inte. Prediction behövs inte för trend efter framgång. Om du har Trend Följande system och träning kan du tjäna pengar på upp och ner marknader. Varför en viss marknad rör sig är inte relevant för att låta investera. Den östliga filosofen Alan Watts visste trenden efter lärdomar (även om den var oavsiktlig): Frågan, vad ska vi göra om det, är bara en fråga från dem som inte förstår problemet. Om ett problem kan lösas alls, förstår det och att veta vad man ska göra åt det är samma sak. Å andra sidan gör du något om ett problem som du inte förstår är att försöka rensa bort mörkret genom att trycka det åt sidan med dina händer. När ljuset tas, försvinner mörkret genast. Övervinna rädsla (och flytta dig mot rik) lärs alla i Michaels Trend Efter flaggskepp: Klarhet av syfte är investeringssucces. Att eliminera buller med exakta trendregler som anpassar sig till varje situation, klimat eller cykel är målet. Att gå på en informationsdiet är obligatorisk. Systematiska och konsekventa processer slår grundläggande gissningar varje gång. Din investering kommer att vara som den här videon. Investeringsspänningar är en mördare. Multitasking med skärmar, nyheter och nonstop förutsägelser kommer att steka din hjärna - garanterad. Vi kommer att få dig att fokusera på rätt uppgift, inte varje sista uppgift. Tänk på detta infografiska. De religiösa ritualerna i regeringen, medierna och finanserna kommer att blöda dig torr: CNBC kunde verkligen inte bry sig om det faktiska innehållet i det som sägs. Syftet med CNBCs spel är. att sälja annonser. Inget ont eller fel på detta. Det är vad vinstmedelsföretag gör. Men det innehåll de producerar. behöver förstås som sådan. Avsiktlig praxis är obligatorisk för Trend Following excellence. Lyssna på en podcast med världens främsta expert på toppresultat. Trend Följande gör ingenting förrän du har ett bra drag med stor vinstpotential. Tålamod är avgörande. gillar den här videon. De globala djupstatliga myndigheterna vill inte att du tänker. De vill ha dig i matrisen: De som dominerar utbildningssystemet kontrollerar vem som är accepterad och vem avvisas, inte med hjälp av intelligens eller färdighet, utan av deras vilja att anpassa sig till etablerings idealet. De bygger en slags automatklass, som har lärt sig att inte lära sig självständigt, utan att papegoja propaganda utan fråga. De av oss som inte gör betyget förkastas rollen som skyldiga gudstjänstemän som accepterar yrkesklassens krav som evangelium, oavsett hur felaktigt de råkar vara. Hela saken är äckligt inavlad. Nu kan vi göra smart tänkande ett steg längre. Tänk på ett icke-handelsexempel som förklarar sanningen i process v. Resultatet: Istället för att prata om segrar och mästerskap talar Alabama Head Football Coach Nick Saban om processen. Processen är Sabans term för att koncentrera sig på stegen till framgång snarare än att oroa sig för slutresultatet. Istället för att tänka på resultattavlan, tänk på att dominera mannen på motsatta sidan av scrimmage. Istället för att tänka på en konferens titel, tänk på att avsluta en nionde rep i viktrummet. Sedan Saban har vunnit 5 av de senaste 13 nationella titlarna har formuleringen fördjupats i uppdraget för Sabans programbyggande filosofi. Idag försöker alla att replikera sin filosofi och resultat. Kalla det Sabanization av college fotboll. När du har en Trend Following-process kommer det ner till din modighet för att spela spelet på rätt sätt. Famed contrarian investor Howard Marks talar för att strävan efter storhet: Den verkliga frågan är om du vågar göra de saker som är nödvändiga för att bli bra. Är du villig att vara annorlunda, och är du villig att vara fel För att kunna få chans till bra resultat måste du vara öppen för att vara båda. Trendföljande tävling för dig är på - oavsett om du kör eller låtsas att det inte finns någon ras. En av Michaels favoritord sätter på bilden: Varje morgon i Afrika vaknar en gazelle. Det vet att det måste springa snabbare än det snabbaste lejonet eller det kommer att dödas. Varje morgon vaknar en lejon. Det vet att det måste gå ut i den långsammaste gazellen eller det kommer att svälta till döden. Det spelar ingen roll om du är ett lejon eller en gazelle: när solen kommer upp, du är bättre att springa. Michael visar kunderna hemligheterna att köra med Trend Following.

F: Kommer din flaggskeppsprodukt med rekommendationer A: Du kommer att känna till alla affärer att ta för alla marknader hela tiden. Du vann8217t behöver pågående 8216recommendations8217 eftersom du kommer att få dem alla från början. Våra trendsystem kommer att ge dig regler för dina pågående handelssignaler (vad vissa kan kalla rekommendationer). Fråga: Är din trend efter att ha handlat i svart box systemhandel A: Det här är inte svart boxhandel. Alla regler och filosofier som lärs ut beskrivs fullständigt. F: Krav att starta A: Dessa förutsättningar krävs antingen i förväg eller samtidigt. Du behöver också dagliga och eller veckoprisuppgifter. Frågor: Fråga. Fråga: Varför finns det två versioner av din produkt A: Flagship Premium får dig där snabbare. F: Vem följer trenden efter A: Alla (nästan): Alla nya eller privata handlare handlar eget konto. Alla kontostorlekar. Hedgefondschef, handelsrådgivare, golvhandlare och lokalbefolkningen. Professionella handlare som vill etablera pengar förvaltning företag. De som handlar 401K, IRA eller andra pensionärer. De som vill handla alla marknader med samma regler. Those that want to make money in both bull, bear and black swan markets. This is for brand new to pro traders. It is for traders that trade global markets and for those that trade only their home country markets. It is for retirement, speculative accounts, Registered Investment Advisors, fund managers and college students. This is a true location independent, trade on a desert island trading profit-making opportunity. Those expecting millions instantly. Day traders. People that think they can predict tomorrow. Q: What are performance examples A: For more than five decades trend following traders have produced massive profits . Q: When does trend following work A: When markets trend8211is the short answer. The investment objective of our trading programs is to extract profits from up, down and black swan markets (rare or surprise events), resulting in an above average return stream. All programs can be applied to long only and longshort portfolios and all rules are best applied in a 100 systematic manner. Think of it like a machine : Q: What type of markets can be traded A: Systems provided are for stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies (FX), energies, agriculturals, metals and softs. Can you trade equities only, for example Yes. Q: What market instruments can be traded A: Systems provided are for equity ETFs (equities), LEAPs options and or futures. Q: How specific is your product A: This service is an overall trend following trader education with exact trend following systems that can be applied immediately to your account. That means you will receive: Exact rules for selecting your tracking portfolio. Exact rules for entering your trades at the right time. Exact rules for exiting your trades with a loss at the right time. Exact rules for exiting your trades with a profit at the right time. Exact rules for how much money to bet on each trade based on your unique situation. Q: It seems strange that someone is willing to give away a process that works. A: There will be no widespread adoption of the rules we teach. Why People might not feel comfortable once they learn, or they might not like using rules developed by others. Maybe, they adopt the rules we teach, then bastardize them into something else because it momentarily feels good. Markets, bottom line, are huge and with millions of strategies out there, what we teach will be just fine. Additionally, think about the Turtles. Think about all of the trend followers with decades of trend following trading results. Most people don8217t want to change to something good. They are fine with mediocre results. Most people are happy losing. This issue is also addressed in the last chapter of the book Trend Following . Q: Are your trading systems just Turtle A: Michael Covel8217s The Complete TurtleTrader explains the Turtle story and system in detail. It is the definitive Turtle resource, but our Flagship systems and training go much farther. Advanced systems, examples and human interaction with Michael and his staff, the live teaching element within Flagship, is an entirely different experience. Q: What is the difference between your books and systems amp training A: The books are great resources filled with thousands of details, and they have helped many people learn, but our systems and training with support are different. Questions come up. People need help. Personal instruction gives insights. Additionally, many proprietary trading systems are included (not in the books). Q: Is trend trading only for the USA A: Our clients are in 70 countries trading on exchanges from Europe to Asia to the Middle East to South America to North America. Q: Are your systems and training for the individual investor A: Many of our clients are simply individuals trading their own account. Many are with no experience. Some have experience, but the wrong kind. Whether 21 and in college. age 30 working a job, or age 60 in retirement, you can learn trend following trading. Q: Are your systems and training for market professionals A: Our systems and training are also used by experienced traders worldwide. Hedge fund managers to CTAs to CFAs to CMTs brokers to financial advisers on every continent. Q: How were your systems and training assembled A: The great traders, along with their trading rules, are not easily accessed. It8217s a very closed club. However, Michael Covel has dedicated his life to assembling their trading systems and lessons (as a result of their direct teaching). Covel has spent the last 15 years on the inside learning from the greatest traders of our time. View his mentors . Q: The top end of your trading system is not inexpensive. A: Paying for trading education is far less expensive than losing a fortune with no trading plan (which many do). Our price is negligible if you consider it an investment in your future wealth. Q: Can systems in the training be applied to shorter time frames like hourly or 4-hour charts A: No. Day trading is fool8217s gold. Our systems and training will be worth millions to you over a lifetime if you simply understand that day trading is a mirage. More on the subject: Read . Q: The right exit strategy A: Applying explicit exit rules to limit damage during market declines is the name of the game. Survival That means having an exit strategy for all of your positions at all times. That means deliberately, consistently and mechanically cutting losses short while letting your winners run. Q: This is for retirement accounts A: You can trade equities, futures and ETFs in retirement accounts (401ks, IRAs, Keoghs, Seps, etc.). Q: Trend following works on stocks A: Yes. 100. Trend following is not instrument specific. Trend followers can and do trade all types of instruments. Some trade futures. Some trade ETFs. Some trade LEAPS options. Some trade commodities. For example, today trend following traders can trade ETFs and get exposure to stock and commodities markets without having to trade futures. You will learn the best option for your situation. Q: Is trend following risky A: Life is risky. You might get hit by a car crossing the street. However, if you have a concrete plan, risk can be managed. Q: Do university classes assist in trend following education A: Most finance departments either are unaware of trend following or ignore it. Many of the greatest traders had little to no experience trend trading before starting. Trend following legend John W. Henry (owner of Boston Red Sox), for example, did not have a college degree. Q: Speak to behavioral biases . A: Trend following handles the biases: Q: How much math is involved in trend following for success A: The basics: add, subtract, multiply, divide. Some will have more understanding, and that is fine too. Q: Do trend followers watch screens during market hours A: Some trend followers only trade once a week using weekly bars. Day trading is not trend following. There is no need to watch the screen during market hours. Q: How much time is required to trade as a trend following trader A: You can spend a minute or two per market each day. For example, you check prices in the evening, then with one trade in the morning, you place or change any orders in accordance with rules. Flagship trend following trading systems use daily data to determine buy and sell signals. Orders can be placed before the market opens and do not need hourly monitoring. Most top traders manage their trades in 10 to 30 minutes per day. Trend follower Richard Donchian once said: 8220If you trade on a definite trend-following loss limiting-method, you can trade without taking a great deal of time from your regular business day. Since action is taken only when certain evidence is registered, you can spend a minute or two per market in the evening checking up on whether action-taking evidence is apparent, and then in one telephone call in the morning place or change any orders in accord with what is indicated. Furthermore a definite method, which at all times includes precise criteria for closing out one8217s losing trades promptly, avoids8230emotionally unnerving indecision.8221 Each day you determine entries and or exits for the following day. You can then buy or sell 8220at the market8221 on the open the next day. Q: Fancy software and complicated trading strategies that seemingly only rocket scientists can trade, is that your world A: No. The real risk in today8217s age is over-doing a trading system. There is so much computing power available and so much data available, but the reality is that trend following rules can be explained on the back of a napkin. You will learn to use rules that anyyone can apply for potential profit. Can software help automate trend following strategies Sure, but don8217t let automation fool you. Consider wisdom from Daniel Dennett: Here is something we know with well-nigh perfect certainty: nothing physically inexplicable plays a role in any computer program, no heretofore unimagined force fields, no mysterious quantum shenanigans. There is certainly no wonder tissue in any computer. We know exactly how the basic tasks are accomplished in computers, and how they can be composed into more and more complex tasks, and we can explain these constructed competences with no residual mystery. So although the virtuosity of today8217s computers continues to amaze us, the computers themselves, as machines, are as mundane as can-openers. Lots of prestidigitation, but no real magic8230All the improvements in computers since Turing invented his imaginary paper-tape machine are simply ways of making them faster. One of the most accomplished trend following traders of the last 30 years, a man that has made billions, still tracks and automates his world with EXCEL. Nothing fancy. No mental masturbation. Q: Can your trend following strategies be automated A: Yes. 100. Q: Why is money management needed A: Money management, or position sizing, is a critical component of trend following trading success. Q: Are markets different now A: Markets are always the same because they always change. Trend following trading adapts to constant change. That8217s the way to look at it. If someone says markets have changed, reach your wallet. You are about to be picked. Alan Watts the philosopher makes the case for how trend following responds to constant change: If, when swimming, you are caught in a strong current, it is fatal to resist. You must swim with it and gradually edge to the side. One who falls from a height with stiff limbs will break them, but if he relaxes like a cat he will fall safely. A building without give in its structure will easily collapse in storm or earthquake. Trend following has give . Q: 24-hour news is needed A: You don8217t need real-time data or news. In fact, you don8217t need news at all to be a trend following trader. Q: Is leverage used in trend following A: All great trend following traders use leverage. It is a tool to be used correctly. However, trend following is not about using reckless leverage (like Wall Street banks). Very different animals. Q: Once training is completed no broker or financial adviser will be needed A: Not needed. Q: What do you think of Gann and Elliott Wave A: Some enjoy junk science. Q: What additional expenses are needed A: You need money to trade and daily price data (about 20-50month). Our clients also receive a special 10 discount with CSI Data (a world data leader). Q: What about breaking into the fund management business A: A critical feature of our Flagship is support. You will receive help on introductions, along with hints on how to break into the fund business or just advice on trading your own account. Q: Do you explain exactly the markets to trade and why A: Yes. Diversification across markets is part of the process. Trend following exposure to many markets allows profits to cover losses. Big moves, and the profits from those, offset small losses across a diversified portfolio. You can trade those types of markets via ETFs, LEAPs and or futures. Q: Are chart techniques used to pick entry levels, exit levels and where to place stop levels Do you teach a one-size-fits-all method of level picking or do you tailor it to the individual A: No chart techniques are used, but you will know exactly your entry, exit and where to place stops. The rules taught can be tailored, absolutely. Q: Speak to non-USA markets, i. e. China, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, Indonesia, etc. A: Trend following is for all markets, all countries. Our clients are in 70 plus countries. A map of where our clients live . Q: Do your rules help to profit during crashes and tail events A: Yes. Making money from black swans. surprises, tail events and crashes is core to trend following success. Think about the 8220edges8221: Q: Is it really possible to compete against the big funds Like Bridgewater and Winton A: Yes, but this is not about competition. The big funds don8217t stop little guys from trading. The idea that big traders block small traders is nonsense. In fact, smaller traders can trade markets larger traders can8217t (due to their overdone size). Q: Are too many people trading as trend following traders A: Broadly speaking the amount of money trading globally applied to trend following methods is tiny by comparison to the mountain of money stuck in buy and hold mutual funds. The opportunity for trend following success is massive. Q: What are your main criteria to identify a trend A: In trend following you don8217t do that. In trend following you take entry signals, and have exit signals. After an entry and then exit you can historically identify a trend. Anyone saying they can spot or predict trends in real time is incorrect. Q: Assuming that I decide to quit my day job 8220working for the man8221 and become a trader, how do I get access to the markets How do I do research Do I need to have access to real-time and historical data A: You will need a broker and you will need market data (not real time). We help understand on both issues with recommendations. The research We provide that too. Q: Michael would probably crush me for asking this, but I8217ll ask it anyway: Is trend following a full time job It is a big commitment and I8217d like to know if it can be done part time A: You can be part-time. 100. You will not be day trading. You can trade using daily or weekly closing prices. No other strategy allows this. Q: The podcasts are very educational. I have only listened to about 80 of them and while I enjoy them enormously, they mostly dive into the human nature. I didn8217t hear much about the specifics on trends in the markets. Do I need to buy Michael8217s entire system to be able to understand the trends A: We give away a ton of free resources. but if you want to go fast and take advantage of our best work our Flagship is the best bet. Q: What makes your product different than others A: We don8217t compare to unnamed others . Our one of a kind product is not a commodity. You can only receive it here.

Performance One of the first steps to your trend following success is to absorb past trend following success. That breeds immense confidence. The data assembled on this page demonstrates what has been possible historically with trend following. First, two pieces of research that outline trend trading success going back over 100 years: A Century of Evidence on Trend-Following Investing (PDF ). Two Centuries of Trend Following (PDF ). A further great example of success is Bill Dunn. He is one of the greatest trend followers ever. First ballot Hall of Fame. He has been successfully trading as a trend follower for massive money since 1974. His continuous track record has never been featured on CNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, etc. An examination of Dunn8217s track record could serve as a PhD-level trend following class. Consider his performance numbers: No one can promise that you will become the next Bill Dunn or produce his returns. Further, we are not an agent for Dunn Capital, but his performance is a historical marker on file with the U. S. government. His performance is proof that classic long term trend following can win big time ( Note . If you want to be a trend follower, if you want the foundation to have a chance at the big money, you can start a proven trend following education immediately ). Dunn is not alone though. Consider this chart from Paul Mulvaney of Mulvaney Capital: That is inspirational (at least if you have a pulse). Additional performance histories generated by legendary trend traders: Notes .

Fortunes made by selected great trend followers: Bruce Kovner . Kovner is a trend following trader featured in Jack Schwager8217s 8216Market Wizards.8217 He was trained by trend follower Michael Marcus. Marcus was trained by Ed Seykota. More on Seykota can be found in Trend Following. Kovner is worth over 5.3 billion (source ). John W. Henry . Henry is a trend following trader featured in Trend Following. He is worth 2.1 billion (source ). He used his trend following gains to buy the Boston Red Sox for 700 million. Bill Dunn . Dunn is a trend following trader featured in Trend Following. Dunn made 80 million in 2008 when the rest of the world was blowing up. Michael Marcus . Marcus is a trend following trader featured in Jack Schwager8217s Market Wizards. He turned an initial 30,000 into 80 million (source ). David Harding . Harding is a trend following trader featured in Trend Following. He is worth over 1.387 billion (source ). Ed Seykota . Seykota is a trend following trader featured in Trend Following. He turned 5,000 into 15 million over 12 years in his model account (an actual client account). Kenneth Tropin . Trend following trader Tropin made 120 million in 2008 as buy and hold collapsed. Earlier in his career he led John W. Henry8217s firm. Those trend followers all started as one-man shops and that is inspirational. A small fraction of those huge fortunes would satisfy most people. What types of market trends made those fortunes Historical Trend Following Winning Charts These all prove the historical trend legacy. The past, the current, and the future8211all times when trend following can excel (great history of trend following PDF ). Conclusion Trend following trading can be applied to many different instruments (futures, ETFs amp LEAPs, for ex.) and many different markets such as currencies (FX, forex), interest rates, global stock indices, grains, softs, meats, metals and energies. It has been applied to the great tech names: Google, Apple, Priceline, Tesla, Amazon, Las Vegas Sands amp Facebook, etc. And the strategy is not limited to USA. It is for all types of markets in all countries, i. e. USA to Singapore to China to Brazil to Japan to Switzerland. This is the strategy that has universal applicability. No fundamentals needed. How can it applied to so many different markets Greed, fear, human nature and big trends up and down. That8217s how. Measure it, trade it. Bottom line, furthering the cause of trend following moneymaking benefits has driven us since 1996. In recent years both academics and large funds have further validated the very long-term success of trend following investing.

Essential.8221 Ed Seykota Trend following legend originally in the 8220Market Wizards8221 classic book 8220The way I see it, you have two choices8211you can do what I did and work for 30-plus years, cobbling together scraps of information, seeking to create a money-making strategy, or you can spend a few days reading Covel8217s book Trend Following and skip that three-decade learning curve.8221 Larry Hite Trend following legend originally in the 8220Market Wizards8221 classic book 8220Some people think trend following trading is a system, but it8217s really much more powerful than that8230it8217s a trading philosophy. The course here gives comprehensive insight to the most accessible active management strategy currently in use. You find revealing explanations of all the critical elements of a successful trend following trading plan. The concepts espoused here are not just opinions8230these techniques have been proven to work.8221 Paul Mulvaney Mulvaney Capital Note: Mulvaney was an early client. 8220There have been few authors that have tackled the financial markets with a candor that was entertaining while not alienating themselves from the community they wrote about. A few greats come to mind: Michael Lewis, Jack Schwager, and Nassim Taleb. I believe Michael Covel also belongs squarely in this camp for his work to champion the trend following movement.8221 Tim Pickering Founder and CIO, Auspice Capital Advisors (full review: PDF ) Read the 80 pages of testimonials: Trend following works in one of two ways: 1. Trade your home country markets only. 2. Trade a global portfolio. The good news You can choose either option. Better news Trend following is location independent trading. You can be anywhere.

Solar Power Brisbane Objective Solar Panels Review For Brisbane Residents 12 November 2015. Welcome to the Brisbane Solar Information website. We attempt to offer impartial information on residential solar power installation in Brisbane, provide updates on the seemingly ever changing solar incentives offered at a State and Federal Government level and suggest 8216common - sense8217 but important pointers to consider when considering the viability of solar for your home and some useful tips when evaluating various solar power system offers. You can promptly receive, without any obligation, free solar system quotation for your home . Click here or fill in the form below. Attention: All Solar Panel System buyers in Brisbane The Renewable Energy Target (R. E.T.) 8216review8217 in November 2014 from the federal government has recommended l eaving the current rooftop solar program as is . This is good news if you are considering installing solar panels in Brisbane. The SRES, or small scale renewable energy scheme, is the government program that effectively offers households a 8216subsidy8217 for the initial cost of installing solar power systems. It had been feared by the solar installation industry that the renewable energy target review would most likely call for the abolition of this scheme, meaning that solar system pricing would have risen by several thousands of dollars. The Case For Solar In Brisbane: The 8216Short Term8217 picture for Brisbane residents considering solar has been somewhat 8216muddied8217 by the Queensland solar feed in tariff roller coaster ride in recent times. A 8216feed tariff8217 is simply money you are credited for when your solar system puts electricity back into the 8216grid8217 8211 this happens when the solar panels produce more power than your house is currently consuming. There is currently no S. E. Qld. feed tariff payable by the Queensland. Government however some electricity retailers (like AGL for example) are offer a feed in tariff or 6-8 cents. Whilst this is way below the previously available 44cKwh, the case for solar remains compelling in our view. The short term drivers for solar installation in Queensland include: Cutting your daytime electricity usage from the grid. The relatively low available solar feed in tariff means that if you are considering solar then maximum benefit will be derived from matching the solar system size to your daytime electricity load usage. In other words it is beneficial to be using all or as much as the power that the solar panels system produces in your home 8211 ie: 8216offsetting8217 the power that you would otherwise draw from the electricity grid with power from your solar system, saving you money. Given the above strategy, it is important to first examine your electricity usage. Remember that this varies seasonally 8211 for example many Brisbane home owners will be running air-conditioning throughout the warmer months, so power bills are probably higher for many people during the summer months 8211 look at your power bills over the past 18 months and look at your electricity usage. Most reputable solar companies will be able to assist in the assessment of the optimum size of system for you. Reasonably good 8216pay back periods8217. Correct system design and sizing can still offer pay back periods (ie the length of time required to re-coup the outlay of your newly installed solar system) of around 4-5 years. As discussed above, as of November 2014 there are still federal government subsidies in place to make solar installation more affordable. In our view the long term drivers for solar installation in Queensland will be: Expected increases in electricity costs Ongoing increases in 8216affordability8217 of solar installation Solar system efficiency increases mean higher effective financial returns Trend for solar power integration with home energy efficient design You can promptly receive, without any obligation, free solar system quotation for your home .

Brisbane Solar Installers 8211 Profiles (Make Sure You Read This) The nature of the Queensland solar market over the past few years has been very cyclical in nature. There have been 8216boom times8217 for solar installers, when, for example the Government rebates are about to drop and typically there is then a consumer 8216rush8217 to sign up so as to qualify for the current incentives (like the previously available 44 cent feed in tariff). Similarly, when the Federal Government announced the introduction and subsequent implementation of the Carbon Tax, hence creating some concerns about possible electricity pricing increases, the Brisbane market for solar power took off. The nature of this seemingly attractive 8216market8217 has attracted and created a very diverse range of Brisbane solar panel companies. Some of these companies are excellent in terms of their knowledge, both of solar power and installation compliance issues, their ethics 8211 offering the 8216right8217 system to their customers that will meet their needs and their ongoing support for their products and installations. There have also, without doubt, been a number of dubious solar companies emerge that have looked to 8216cash in8217 on available solar incentives and make fast money, without due consideration to solar system quality, back up, installation compliance and honouring warranties etc. So what types of Solar companies are operating in Brisbane: 1. Full Subcontract 8216Sales8217 Solar Companies These are companies that are generally founded by 8216entrepreneurs8217 looking to ride the solar power installation market while it is buoyant. Typically these companies will operate a call centre, manned by commission telephone sales people. They often try and assess your solar needs by doing a study of your homes roof through google maps google earth and come up with a proposal and try and 8216close the sale8217 (usually fairly high pressure, 8216don8217t miss out on the rebate8217 etc) over the telephone. There have been numerous instances where the brand of solar panels and inverters is not disclosed, meaning that low quality parts may be supplied. These companies often carry no inventory of solar components and 8216back to back order8217 8211 ie they only order from suppliers once they have secured customer orders. They may source from a variety of suppliers which again, can lead to very different degrees of quality of the solar parts supplied to you. Installation of the solar system is carried out by a third party. A 8216kit of parts8217 (typically being the solar panels, solar inverter, circuit breakers and electrical isolators and the solar racking system ) is supplied to the installer by the sales company. In general this type of company is to be avoided. 2. Appointment Setting Solar Companies Again, these solar companies are very much 8216sales driven8217. These companies may replicate the sales tactics of 8216Holiday Time Share Apartment8217 and the likes. There approach is to generate enquiries through media campaigns and then insist on visiting you in your home to give you a 8216presentation8217 about solar power. Once in your home you will be given a presentation and then have the 8216hard sell8217 applied to try and get you to sign up for a solar power installation 8216on the spot8217. Again, to be avoided in general. 3. Electricians Electrical Engineers Many electricians and electrical contracting companies have become involved in solar installation in Brisbane. With the correct licencing and accreditation and long standing presence in the area some of these companies have gained good reputations for the quality of their installations. These companies may be less impacted by the ups and downs of the solar industry (as discussed above) as they also do diversified electrical contract work. 4. Energy Retailers Energy retailers (like AGL etc) have been offering solar systems in Queensland for a while. There are mixed views in buying solar power through Brisbane energy retailers. Benefits include. financing generally available, strong company likely to be in business for many years to come, if support or repairs are required. Negatives could include: use subcontract installation generally (again, could be good or not), you need to ensure the manufacturers of the solar panels and inverter are stipulated in any solar quotation they offer. 5. Full Service solar power installation company This could well include the Energy Retailers and Electricians Electrical Engineers. These are companies that employ in house solar designer and accredited installers. have a leaning towards quality, 8216brand name8217 solar components and are preferably based in Brisbane, with many years (verifiable) design and installation experience. Receive. no obligation solar power quotation from Brisbane based solar power installers. Complete this form below and be contacted quickly by us: Solar Quotation 8211 What to look For : 1. We strongly recommend you insist on a site visit, to assess your roof space and give you the opportunity to discuss in detail the installation and options available 2. Any quotation should include an electrical power output summary. This should clearly show what the proposed solar system will generate (including variables like time of year etc) 3. Full Solar component listing. For the solar panels, solar inverter. racking systems etc you should ask to have specified the names of the manufacturer, the warranties offered and how a claim is made should a warranty issue arise 4. Documentation supporting the installers licencing and accreditation for solar power installation in Brisbane. Will the installation be done by the quoting company or by sub-contractors. 5. Will the installation company organise with your energy retailer the new solar meter required after installation and is that cost included in their quotation 6. When will installation take place and how long will it take. 7. Can they offer references 8211 other solar installations in your area you can contact 8. Post installation, will the solar company explain how to read the inverter digital read out and how to check system operation. 9. Is there a follow up inspection 6 or 12 months after installation and can they offer or recommend a solar panel cleaning service if required Brisbane Solar System Design Thoughts As discussed above, in a low feed tariff environment, as currently exists in Brisbane, from a solar system design perspective it is beneficial to export as little solar power back to the grid and use as much of that power in your home. The often touted approach to this is to consciously set appliances like swimming pool pumps, chlorinators, clothes dryers, washing machines to run during the daytime (when your solar system produces power). This is good advice, however solar installation really goes hand in hand with introducing and implementing effective energy saving strategies in your home. By looking at home insulation, possibly replacing outdated, energy usage devices like old pool pumps, where some users have been able to use a pump with 50 the wattage rating yet still retain the same pool performance, replacing inefficient refrigerators with more a more energy efficiency one and possibly considering new generation solar air conditioning and solar hot water systems, you may be able to purchase a smaller solar system. Installation of L. E.D. lighting can save over 70 percent of the power consumption of halogen lighting for example. The C. S.I. R.O8217s Saving Energy In The Home site has further tips on this. December 2013 8211 Solar Panel and Inverter Reviews Over the next few months we will look at various solar panels and inverters used around Brisbane in solar installations.

Frequently Asked Questions How Has Solar Power Uptake In Brisbane Changed Over the Last Few Years Interesting question. It has been widely reported that Australia has (of April 2013) over one million homes with solar panels installed now on their roofs. So clearly solar power uptake has been incredibly 8216successful8217 in this country. Regardless of your political view point, much of the 8216credit8217 for the solar roll out over the last few years has to be put down to Federal Government initiatives to offer reduced start up costs for solar panels installation via their Solar Credits scheme and their Renewable Energy Target. which sets a goal of reaching electricity produced in Australia to hit twenty percent by the year 2020. The Queensland state Government certainly further ignited the interest and subsequent number of Brisbane solar installations when they bought in their possibly over generous 44 cent feed tariff, as discussed above. This had its definite pro8217s and con8217s8217: Previous Qld. 44 cent Feed In Tariff Pro8217s: Ignited uptake of solar panels installation in Brisbane Created over 22,000 jobs in Brisbane directly related to solar power installation Coupled with the Federal Government Solar credits scheme, the high solar feed in tariff created a very competitive market for solar. The upside being that solar system prices decreased by over 63 percent in just 4 years (to August 2012). In 2008 for example a 1.5Kw solar system (typically, the smallest system installed in Brisbane) would cost a homeowner anywhere from 5,500- 12,000. At the 8216peak8217 of the market, in 2012, there were many Brisbane solar installers offering a 1.5Kw system for as low as 850 An 8216indirect8217 8216pro8217 of the high feed tariff and subsequent high solar uptake was the definite increase amongst solar users of an 8216energy saving awareness8217. It is without doubt the case that more often than not, solar power system owners become far more aware of their energy consumption and often take new measures once solar is installed, to increase their homes8217 energy usage matrix 8211 that is seek to replace energy inefficient appliance 9old fridges, non-inverter technology air conditioners etc) with low electricity usage devices and they will often implement improved home insulation methods. This may well be one of the 8216unmeasured8217 financial benefits of solar installation . Solar Home Energy Efficiency Very Significant Electricity Usage Reductions Previous Qld. 44 cent Feed In Tariff Con8217s: Its is fair to say, (at least in our view), that the high f. i.t. and resultant 8216surge8217 in interest around Brisbane for solar panels, bought many business 8216cowboys8217 into the Brisbane solar marketplace. A look through some of the consumer watchdogs (fair trading) website highlights cases where companies were accepting payments from solar customers and never getting the systems installed. Other unfortunate instances like non compliant, low quality installations have occurred. As more and more people saw solar installation in brisbane as a way of making a quick profit, the number of solar companies swelled and subsequently, in an attempt to capture as much market share as possible, particularly on having the lowest price, many of these companies started sourcing lower quality solar panels and solar inverters from china, sometimes with disatrous impacts on the customers who purchased systems using these parts. very high equipment fault rates were reported for some of these parts and in some instances the warranties were not honoured by the unstalling company. Reputation of Solar Power Impacted 8211 for a while, particularly after the wide scale reporting of issues highlighted above, the Brisbane solar market, many would say, was tainted by these complaints. In essence a solar system and its installation should be fairly 8216pain free8217 provided quality panels, solar inverters and installation (compliant with regulations and done by accredited installers) is supplied. Because a solar system is a 8216static system8217, meaning there are no moving parts, it should operate reliably and with minimal maintenance for 20 to 30 years, providing the electricity savings and environmental 8216carbon reduction8217 for which it was designed. How Do Weather Conditions In Brisbane Impact Solar System Output Ok, so you have your new solar system installed via a reputable local solar installer. So, on a day to day basis what kind of solar electric output could you expect, assuming the system has been properly installed with, correct solar panel orientation, correct pitch of solar panels, quality installation ensuring compliance and minimising system losses etc etc Lets take an example of a 4.5 KWatt system. Weather conditions make a huge difference on a day to day basis, obviously, in determining how much power your system produces. In Brisbane, the often touted figure of 4.2 hours per day, average sunlight is a reasonable average to work from, meaning, on average a 4.5 Kwatt solar system would produce 4.5 x 4.2 18.9 Kwh of power per day. Ok, so how much variance can we get from this average Rainy Days or Very Overcast Weather Conditions. It is interesting to realise that on a very overcast or rainy Brisbane day the same system may only produce a few kilowatts of power, literally 3 to 6 Kwh. Optimum Bright Sunny Conditions: At the other weather extreme, a perfectly clear day with full sunshine in summer could produce an output of over 24 Kwh on that day. The seemingly changing seasons (which may or may not be attributed to global warming), can produce unseasonally wet summers, meaning that the total annual solar output of your system may be less than estimated at the time of solar quotation (we strongly recommend getting in writing the expected output of the systems you are being quoted) or the reverse could apply. So we are dealing with averages, both in the short term (daily basis) and long term (yearly output). Are The Solar Panels Mounted directly Onto My Roof From the road, looking at solar panels mounted on Brisbane roofs, it often appears that the solar panels are mounted flush onto the roof. Actually, it is important that this is not the case in practice. Because there is an inverse relationship between solar p. v. output and temperature. we want the solar panels to 8216run8217 or operate at as low a temperature as possible. By having correct installation of the panels, where there is space between the back of the panel and the roof surface, this allows for air circulation behind the solar panels allowing for cooling of them. This is another reason why ensuring that the quality of the installation of the solar system is given priority and that buying 8216on price8217 alone may well be an unwise decision. If Sunlight Is Blocked By Surrounding trees Will This Effect The Output Of My Solar System The efficiency of a solar system is, in part, reliant on the solar panels receiving the maximum possible amount of sunlight to achieve their rated output. In Brisbane, commonly used mono-crystalline panels are generally sized from 190 watts up to 250 watts, with expectation that in 2014 300 watt panels may become more commonly used. Solar system design should always include maximising the 8216system efficiency8217 and taking shadow cast onto your solar panels is absolutely critical at the 8216design stage8217 8211 ie: well before you sign a contract to purchase and proceed with the installation of the system. Most reputable solar installers in Brisbane will offer a full shade analysis of the roof area where the proposed solar system will be installed. Remember shadows cast on your roof area move throughout the day and it is very important to ensure that the proposed area for the installation of the solar panels has no shading at all if at all possible, but, as a bare minimum, receive no shade from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. If this is not the case, then installing solar probably is not a good idea for your home, unless an alternative location for the panels can be found. The introduction in the last couple of years of 8216micro-inverter8217 technology may be able to assist in the case of minimal shading. Micro-inverters are small inverters that are used separately on each and every solar panel installed in a system. The benefit (amongst others) are that they can maximise individual solar panel efficiency and maximise the entire system (ie: all panels) performance, in that, for example, a solar panel effected by part shading will not 8216drag down8217 the other panels receiving full sunlight. This may be an option for some systems where shading could be an issue, but tread carefully. micro-inverters generally add cost to the overall solar system cost and the more components used in the system, the higher the potential for failure there is. If I do not have a North facing Roof are there any other options. It could be worth discussing with solar installers the pros and cons of having the panels installed in an Easterly and Westerly direction. Over the last few years there has been increasing interest in this type of solar panel orientation. It can work to meet some of your homes electricity demand in the mornings and late afternoon if you have a reasonable electricity usage during those periods. When you plot the output from a solar system with this dual panel orientation, the output tends to be more flatter 8211 ie: more constant throughout the day than with the traditionally installed north facing panels. This needs to be carefully thought through and discussed in detail with prospective installers. Issues such as your roofs pitch, morning or late afternoon shading onto the panels, prevalence of afternoon thunder storms etc could make this arrangement untenable. The inveter needs to be able to accept the split panel locations and the available feed in tariff needs to factored in as does your pattern of electricity usage. Still it may be an option if a north facing roof is not available and may offer benefits depending on your situation. I8217m building a new house 8211 Can the Solar Panels be Built into the New Home The next generation of integrated solar panels for residential housing will likely be through the application of organic photovoltaics or O. P.V.8217s (see our recent article describing this emerging technology here ). The C. S.I. R.O. has, this year, commissioned Australia8217s largest (to date) facility for printing these 8216thin film8217 solar cells and the current sizes available range up to A3 size (297mm x 420mm). As mentioned in the C. S.I. R.O.8217s video below, initial target applications are consumer electronics and integrated electronics. O. P.V.8217s lend themselves perfectly to 8216on board battery charger applications. The application for this technology in integrating it into roof tiling and sheeting. home walls and even windows will possibly make the types of solar panel installations currently seen, a thing of the past, certainly for newly constructed homes, within a few years. How Does Queensland Compare With Other States In Solar Installations As of the end of 2012 the Clean Energy Council reported that 31 percent of solar capacity was installed in Queensland. Compare this with 22 percent in N. S.W. 18 percent in Victoria and 15 percent in South Australia. Queensland8217s climate and relatively long periods of sunshine, coupled with the previously available generous 44 cent feed tariff have driven this phenomenal solar uptake. Whilst the market in Brisbane (as of November 2103) has slowed the trend for solar uptake is likely to continue well into the future, driven by increasing energy costs.
