Watch & Understand
What Trend Following Actually Is
Two short videos on the thinking behind the system.
Trend Following Explained
An introduction to how trend following works and why it has endured across decades and markets.
Your Exclusive Offer
A walkthrough of the full Mastery Elite 2026 system. See what's included, and how to enroll before the cohort closes.
Good Intentions Aren't a System. Here's What Closes the Gap.
Most traders piece things together from free articles and guesswork. That's not a foundation, it's noise with extra steps.
Training Gap
Nobody has walked you through trend following end to end. The full Mastery curriculum and twelve months of coaching are what turn an interested reader into an operator of the system, with a voice to trust when the rules are being tested.
Blueprint Gap
Without a written system, every decision gets made in the moment, under pressure. Mastery Elite 2026 walks you from survey to a finished written blueprint you operate from, the one document that survives a drawdown because it was written in calm.
Start with all three. The mentor teaches you the system end to end, the blueprint makes it yours, and the monthly Report keeps it current after the training ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Three things. The full Trend Following Mastery course with twelve months of one-on-one coaching with Michael, Mastery Elite 2026: The Practitioner's Casebook that builds into your own written trading blueprint, and twelve months of the Bull, Bear & Black Swan Report. Nothing assumed, nothing already owned.
No. Mastery is built to take you from the basics of trend following through to operating your own system. The curriculum assumes no prior background, and the coaching is there for whatever questions come up along the way.
No. Mastery is the mentorship: Covel's selected systems, the Wizard videos, the case studies, the proprietary library, and your coaching. Mastery Elite 2026 is a structured written curriculum with worksheets that build into a complete trading blueprint you produce yourself, anchored in close readings of primary-source documents from major trend following firms. The first is what you absorb. The second is what you write down. They are built to work together.
This bundle closes July 13, 2026. Mastery Elite 2026 is not sold separately after this window. Next July we will release Mastery Elite 2027 with a refreshed Mastery Elite 2026 and a new twelve months of the Report. The 2026 edition will not be re-released. Each year's cohort is its own.
Mastery and Mastery Elite 2026 are one-time purchases with lifetime access. The Report is included for a fixed twelve-month term with no auto-renewal and no charge at month thirteen. The annual cohort structure refers to availability windows for new editions, not recurring billing.
Yes. Trend following has real losing years, and Mastery is upfront about that from the start. The best, most disciplined firms have lived through stretches of real loss; this is a matter of public record. What the system offers is a disciplined way to be present for the trends that do come.
Start With The Complete System.
Mastery teaches you the system end to end, Mastery Elite 2026 turns it into a written blueprint you own, and the Report keeps it current every month after that. All three, from day one.
