Trend following gem

04/12/2021
TTU covers a ton of ground each week and I find all topics to be very timely. I never miss an episode and no matter who the guests are, I find the conversations get pretty deep and thorough. There is so much material in their library that I find myself making time to go back as I always learn something new in each one.

Staying focused for the long-term

04/08/2021
I've been trading on and off for 15 years and I've never found a trading related podcast that I like as much, or listen to every week, the way I do Top Traders Unplugged. While they focus on systematic trading systems with stable philosophies and rules, there are always new topics in those systems worth talking about: conceptualizing risk, the novelty of new asset classes or world events in relation to the behaviour of the systems, and all the little details that can make systems based on the same concepts and fundimentals behave differently. I'm (finally!) beginning to trade in the vien of the hosts systems and hearing their experiences with the same questions on what to do, or how performance and mood has been lately is both stabilizing and motivating. Even for those not planning to use these systematic methods there are tons of great convsations about risk, diversity, position sizing, and so on that are applicable to other styles of trading. Give this a listen.

Thank you for achieving my dream

Hi,everyone,My name is Oleg Mikhailov.I want to tell in a few words why this show so important for me.I began to trade in January 2007,but had interruptions in my early career because of blowed accounts so now have near 10 years of experience summary.Was doing a lot of my own research but had a lot of questions and did not know where to find answers on them.I didn’t even know is it real to find all this solutions or not.in fact ,getting this knowledge was one of my main dreams.I did not trust most information that I saw on this subject.it is a lot of very different information and I didn’t know whom I can believe.in 2019 I decided to look what instruments use famous Dunn Capital and have found TTU on their site.only one word I want to say about this :a miracle.read transcripts for few months and in December have discovered si series.I have found all answers that I wanted to find near 12 years and even much more than that.I have constructed my strategy in a very good way and had profit in March 2020 because of knowledge I get.I am sure that if you want to be a master in something:sports,martial arts or any science,first of all you must have good base of knowledge and skills that are proved by centuries.For me SI series is a such base.On all other information from trading field I am going to look from si lens.Thank you Niels,Thank you Jerry and thank you Moritz .You have helped me to achieve one of my main dreams!
