Michael Covel (March 12, 2006)

Our system trading course teaches Trend Following. It guides you through the precise rules, principles, pitfalls, psychology and methodology.

What Markets Can You Trade?

Stocks, Bonds, Foreign Exchange (Forex), Energy, Commodities, Leaps Options and Futures.

Knowledge is Power: Get the Edge

Access to the right information is the key to learning how to trade. Our regular readers and students understand that the advantages of our sites rest squarely on not having to search for themselves to find all the information we have assembled on our sites and in our course. We have identified the core trading concepts you must know. How many years would it take you to assemble our database? We save you time.

Proven Solutions; Time Tested and More Reliable

Our expertise is broad and deep. We do one thing and do it better than anyone: We teach trend following trading.

Crash Protection: Prepare for the Unexpected

By its very nature Trend Following trading seems to always be on the right side of trends (or crashes). Remember the 1987 stock crash? The 2000 dot-com bubble? Trend Followers won big during those periods. In fact, over the last 15 years Trend Followers seem to always win when most people are losing.

Detach Emotions from Your Trading

Trend Following is objective. It is designed to detach emotions from your trading. There are precise rules. No more guessing or hoping. In fact, many great Trend Followers only look at prices after the market closes. They don't stare at the screen all day. All you need is one hour a day to run your calculations. In fact, Trend Following can be a portable business. Trade through your Blackberry.

Gain Adaptability

Your trading approach must be flexible. It needs to handle all market climates. Trend Following thrives on changing conditions.

Make Money in Up and Down Markets

The best traders make money in both up and down markets. Trend Following goes both long and short. It makes money when markets go up. It makes money when markets go down. Trends go both ways and so do Trend Followers.

Intelligence: No Degree Required

There is no special degree required to become a Trend Follower, but you must have the right roadmap. Our course allows anyone to learn.

Easy to Use: No Fundamental Analysis

Stop listening to talking heads on CNBC. Fundamentals have nothing to do with whether a market is trending or not. Trend Following is a form of technical analysis. It doesn't matter what a P/E ratio is if you are a Trend Follower. Crop reports? News flashes? Who cares. Trend Following relies on the variable of price for decision-making.

Risk Management

Great traders have an approach that tells you exactly how much you should buy or sell. Money management is a form of risk-management protection that all Trend Followers employ. We teach the best way to size your trades. You will learn position sizing completely for your specific situation. How do you handle volatility? Is there a difference between low and high volatility? There is and we teach it.

Know When To Get Out Before You Get In

Don't be burned because you failed to get out of a market. Don't be paralyzed by an inability to properly exit profitable positions. Trend Following solves this problem with precise rules that tell you exactly when to get out before you ever get in.

    The advantage scientists bring into the game is less their mathematical or computational skills than their ability to think scientifically. They are less likely to accept an apparent winning strategy that might be a mere statistical fluke. (Read more)
