Book description

World-renowned trading strategist Michael Covel helps you master and profit from trend following: the only strategy proven to work in any market environment!

Trend following is the only investment strategy repeatedly proven to work in any market environment! Now, in two remarkable eBooks, the world's #1 trend following author reveals why it works so well, and shows how you can apply it to earn exceptional, consistent profit in your own trades. In Trend Following (Updated Edition): Learn to Make Millions in Up or Down Markets, MichaelCovel teaches all the fundamental concepts and techniques you'll need, demonstrating how to understand price movements well enough to consistently profit from them. Covel presents updated profiles of top trend followers who've kept right on profiting through the toughest markets. He even presents simple charts created from their actual trades: powerful visual support for the power of trend following! Next, in Trend Commandments: Trading for Exceptional Returns, Covel distills the essential wisdom of this strategy into fascinating, bite-sized pieces that any investor can understand and use: real moneymaking insights from true winners, backed by real performance results. Learn how one of the biggest names in trend following made over 20% in August 2010 alone… and why this strategy keeps making big money when everyone else is dropping like a stone… and how to escape the cycle of "panic, fear, hope, and return-to-panic" in today's age of non-stop financial crisis!
