Re: Any trendfollowers

Good to see this post ! Used to love being on here 10 years ago as lots of comments but all gone quiet now as probably poor performance put so many off I am still avidly following the trends - 2014 a great year and 2 years either side of that were rubbish. I still honestly believe we will see a blow...

Re: Trend Following Without Rates?

have you recalculated your thoughts based on rates can only go to zero ? gven Euribor trades above 100 and U.S rates are probably on their way to minus 3 % ?

Re: Trend Following: Profitable Reality or an Illusion doomed to

2011-2013 was extremely tough - dare i say the worst period in history fo rmany that saw many long established trend following funds fall by the wayside 2014 was a blow away year - we recorded about 45% 2015 is pretty flat to date I think the only conclusion you can reach is nothing ever really chan...

We got that covered dont worry !!!

I think many systems is the answer and once again a pure understanding that 30-50 years of data is simply not enough !

Important - Know when to break the rules

I think one of the problems I suffered with over the years [ apart from all the rest yes I know] is I have been relatively stubborn in my marriage to some of "those rules" you just dont break as a trend followr / systematic trader. One of those rules is sticking to your system when times g...

i run it on 100 markets
next day moo orders

problems are that what pisses me off about a lot of systems is that if use xyz as teh 3 moving averages you may blow up
if you use x, y and z+10 you maybe teh best fund manager in history

Its a fine line
Maybe not that robust ?
