Michael Covel's Trend Following: Essential.
—Ed Seykota
The way I see it, you have two choices-you 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 Covel's book and skip that three-decade learning curve.
—Larry Hite
I think the book did a superb job of covering the philosophy and thinking behind trend following (basically why it works). You might call it the Market Wizards of Trend Following.
—Van K. Tharp
Trend Following: Definitely required reading for the aspiring trader.
—David S. Druz, CEO, Tactical Investment Management
I think that this book documents a great deal of what has made trend following managers a successful part of the money management landscape (how they manage risk and investment psychology). It serves as a strong educational justification on why investors should consider using trend following managers as part of an overall portfolio strategy.
—Tom Basso
If you want to beat the market, you have to do something different from what everyone else is doing, and you have to be right. In this fascinating and instructive book [The Complete TurtleTrader], Michael Covel tells how a group of novice traders used a system that generated trades that were both different and right, and which made them a lot of money. If you want to understand the real world of trading, read this book.
—Bill Miller
An outstanding book [Trend Commandments] for anyone who wants to become rich by trading markets. Today, government regulations and fiscal and monetary policies are badly distorting financial markets. Covel accurately explains why, in this 'manipulated' financial environment, you should never expect markets to move as you wish or expect. Rather, disregard your fundamental beliefs and simply follow the trend. Highly recommended!
—Marc Faber
A rapidly moving, non-technical, and outside-the-box effort that smartly captures the essentials of trend following.
—Peter Borish
If you are even thinking of a career in trading, put down all the other books. Buy this one [Trend Commandments]. Read it. Now you can start your career.
—James Altucher
Michael Covel is the very best at explaining the concepts of successful trend following in plain English. I'm certain you'll be a successful trader if you follow the ideas he outlines in Trend Commandments. This book (and his previous two!) are required reading for new employees in my office.
—Steve Sjuggerud
Buy and hold has been a difficult investment system for investors for a decade. In Trend Commandments, Covel challenges readers to think differently and question their beliefs about market 'truths' that have been ingrained in them for years. Forewarned, you just may never see the world the same way again.
—Mebane Faber
Covel's Trend Commandments offers a breezy rumination on what is right about trend following and what is wrong about conventional trading approaches.
—Jack Schwager
Because Covel so clearly lays out these ingredients of success, his book is relevant not just to trend traders, but to anyone who aspires to greatness in the markets. The message is clear: to win, the odds must be in your favor, and you must have the fortitude to keep playing, remain consistent, and compound your edge. That's a formula for success in any field of endeavor, which may be why the Turtle story finds universal appeal.
—Brett Steenbarger
Mike Covel is not just a cheerleader for trend following; he is the Head Coach. He understands the game, the strategy and crucially the psyche of the players. Would-be winners will ensure that they study Mike's teachings and books before stepping onto the playing field.
