to see his returns go to www.iasg.com
The last 5 years his TOPS program has returned just over 13% a year, it's a decent return for the amount of money he manages but the risk/reward isn't for me, to achieve that return you have to sit through a 40% plus drawdown.

I am talking about something that can be backtested. If you choose your signals at random, how can you backtest this? How do yo...

Why don't these guys trade stocks?
While researching some of the famous mechanical trend followers of the last 30 years I quickly noticed that none of these guys trade in stocks ... namely Richard Dennis, John Henry, and Bill Dunn.

My experience has shown that emulating an index does occur at some number (of positions). Putting on a basket of 20-30 leading stocks from the top industry groups is working well for me. This diversification must come with proper position sizing. The signal of when to buy or sell is very important, ...
