Roche, Founder and CEO, Orsus Investments, LLC; Proprietor of Pragmatic Capitalism</p> <p>“The latest addition to the ‘little book big profits’ series, Michael W. Covel’s <i>The Little Book of Trading: Trend Following Strategy for Big Winnings</i> looks at the financial world through the eyes of successful trend traders … What Covel stresses throughout the book are the accompanying principles that make trend following viable: stick to your plan and manage your risk through diversification, stop placement, and position sizing. These are important principles for any kind of trading, but for trend following they are critical … Successful trend following traders try to capture the outliers, the really big moves that more than compensate for the many small losses they take. This goal requires traders to have confidence in their systems and confidence in themselves. By introducing the reader to successful trend traders, Covel believes that some of their ‘magic’ just might rub off.”<br /> —Seeking Alpha</p>
