Trend Following Trading Systems at TurtleTrader: The Benefits

What Markets Can You Trade?

Stocks, bonds, foreign exchange (FX), energies, commodities, LEAPS® options, ETFs and futures are all markets that you can trade as a trend following trader.

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 teaching rests squarely on not having to search for themselves to find all the information we have assembled in our courses. We have identified the core trading concepts you must know directly from some of the top trading greats of the last 30 years. How many years would it take you to assemble our database of money making techniques and systems? Not only do we save you time, but we give you access to insights that you will not find from any other source.

Proven Big Money 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 for the chance to make money. If you want 4% a year, this is not for you. But when you consider trend following performance during October 2008, which produced some of the biggest one month returns in the history of modern markets, ranging up to +40% for a single month, who is trend following not for? Repeat: trend following traders produced returns ranging from +5 to +40% for the single month of October 2008 at a time when most of Wall Street was imploding.

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? Real estate crash? October 2008 crash? Trend Followers won big during those periods. In fact, over the last 30 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 (or watch Jim Cramer). 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 or iPhone.

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 trading is designed to make money in both long and short markets. 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 road map and trading rules. Our course allows anyone to learn how to make the big money.

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.

1000's of Brand New Traders Have Learned Trend Following Since 1996

Michael Covel has been teaching clients brand new to trading since 1996. He teaches clients with no experience how to trend follow step by step. Now is the time to change your financial future. Clearly, trusting that the stock market or real estate will go up forever as a means to retirement is dead on arrival. That doesn't work. October 2008 equals that game is over. What can you do to make money in these turbulent and troubled times? The first step is to stop doing what everyone else is doing! Stop listening to CNBC. Stop listening to Cramer. Stop listening to cutesy infomercials running late night that promise you easy riches in seconds. Stop listening to your broker at Merrill Lynch (forgot, they went bust). Stop listening to your buddies and their hot stock tips, tips your gut was probably telling you were wrong to begin with!

Just stop. Step back. Get some perspective.

There are people who make big money out there. They have made it for decades. Millions, if not billions. They are trend following traders. You can read about them in Michael Covel's books "Trend Following" and "The Compete TurtleTrader". Trend following traders make money in up and down markets. They make money in good times and bad. They trade stocks, options, futures, currencies, and commodities. This revolutionary systems trading approach is based on a firm belief that we can really only know one true piece of market data: the price. Trend following traders trade the "price". They don't study balance sheets, PE ratios or crop reports.

Think you can't make more trading or perhaps even make a living trading? Think Again. Traders fail because they risk too much and often have no trading plan. Today it's more crucial than ever to become "Market Wizard" knowledgeable about the real money-making techniques of the great traders. It is no longer rational to invest your personal net-worth in a mutual fund hoping for it to go up forever. However, most people are afraid to learn new ways of thinking, particularly when it comes to their money. But the bottom line is that you have no choice if you want to build a fortune (or a future for that matter). Trend following trading will help to keep your emotions in check and given the current economic climate that might be the single biggest lesson we can impart to you. At the end of the day being objective and unemotional is the big difference between the great traders who earn millions and losing traders who go broke.

Is formal education key? No, consider: A top CEO recently spoke before a class of Harvard MBAs. After his presentation one student asked: "What must we do now?" The CEO replied, "Take whatever money you have not spent on tuition and do something else." His point was clear: formal education means less and less in today's world. Trading is no different. The best traders are usually not the products of a formal education in business or finance. Bottom line: you don't have to be a Ph.D. or MBA to trade. You only need to have the desire to work hard and learn. If you must have a Ph.D make it a "Poor, Hungry and Driven" degree instead. If you want honest, straightforward training, we can help. If you want short cuts and hype, do yourself a favor and move on. This is not for you. The great trend followers don't ask for permission, they don't make excuses, they just do it.

If that explanation doesn't make sense to you try asking yourself how long it will take to make back all of the money you lost in the fall of 2008 by blindly buying and holding stocks? Exactly. A dead end. We can show a way out.

Bottom line, trend following is for everyone regardless of education, race, class, gender or social status. How can you afford to not know how the best traders made their fortune?
