Trend Following This is Michael's brain, unfiltered. Rules, sayings, and lessons on markets pulled straight from decades of trend following. Most traders guess.

Trend following wins by following price. For over 25 years, Michael Covel has taught the trend following trading strategy to traders in 76 countries—helping them cut losses fast, let winners run, and profit in any market. He has coached over 10K+ clients, sold 1M+ books in 15+ languages, and his podcast has earned 15M+ listens across 1,300+ episodes. Author of five books, including the international bestseller Trend Following and The Complete TurtleTrader, Covel is known for popularizing this rules-based approach that removes emotion and avoids predictions. His work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, The Straits Times, CCTV, and Fox Business. Covel has spoken for China Asset Management, GIC Private Limited, BM&F Bovespa, Managed Funds Association, Bank of China Investment Management, and the Market Technicians Association. He has interviewed five Nobel Prize-winning economists, including Daniel Kahneman and Harry Markowitz, and continues to share insights through his podcast, blog, and social channels.
