More from Seykota FAQs
At Ed Seykota’s FAQ he was recently asked:
“Would you recommend [attending] your seminar based on the following:
1. I am familiar with the markets.
2. I was a hedger for Options at NYMEX (1998-2001).
3. I quit, traded some options and stocks unsuccessfully.
4. I moved.
5. I have learned lots about macro and some about fixed income.
6. I studied some psychology.
7. I have read Trend Following.
8. I ordered your book.
9. I absolutely agree with TF and understand the concepts.
10. I have done the psychological work I needed to do.
11. I cannot program in C++ yet.
12. I am committed to getting this down and learn from you (I will put 10% on my net worth to attend your event).
13. I have never really traded my own book except this TF trade in New Zealand 90 day bills I put on through our boss’ account.
Am I going to be able to put together a trend following system after your seminar and start trading?”
Seykota responded:
“You can put together a trend following system if you are willing to do so.”
Seykota always holds the mirror up. Are you able to look into it?
