My guest today is Christopher Cruden, Cruden has been in the trend following space for over 25 years. In 1988 he became a Director of Adam, Harding and Lueck Asset Management Ltd (AHL) in London, a famed trend following shop. He is currently the head of Insch Capital Management.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Why price is an unimpeachable fact
• Early “lightbulb” moments that brought Cruden to the style of trading he practices today
• The notion of going currency only
• Why Cruden’s program is akin to a raincoat in bad weather
• Riding increased volatility and increased directional trending
• Getting clients to understand that you cannot force a system to make money
• Benchmark selection and time period selection
• Why the S&P 500 is a trading system; performance drivers
• The duration of trades
• Why if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it
• How Cruden’s strategy would change if Europe reverted back to before the introduction of the Euro
• How markets teach humility
• Why Cruden only trades once a day
