Trend Index

This index from IASG is based on actual performance:

It's a good overview of trend following performance by managed funds.

accuracy

The accuracy rates seem to be slightly lower and they seem poor as a standalone system. The risk:reward equations seem very poor compared to trend following systems.

counter trend systems

I've added a countertrend system to a multi system trend following model and have gotten a 7% improvement in CAGR and a 5% reduction in drawdowns. It uses Stochastic crossovers to signal trades. Does anyone have countertrend systems that add value to trending systems?
