Thomas Stridsman on Trend Following Trading

Posted on by Michael Covel

A good article on trend following trading (PDF):

“…being a systematic trend follower also induces some pain from time to time, but overall results move slowly in the right direction. Trend followers need to learn to sit on their hands from time to time, and other times endure the pain from what seems like a never-ending string of whipsaw trades. That just comes with the style.”

An interesting read (PDF). As an associate of mine said:

On third page, read the two paragraphs that starts with “A big part…” The last line in the second paragraph is perfect.

Respect the price action!

Origins of Trend Following

Posted on by Michael Covel

An excerpt about trend following origins from here:

One reason for this paucity of early information [about trend following] is suggested by the ‘following’ part of the term ‘trend following.’ The implication is one of passivity, of reaction, rather than of bold, assertive action — and human nature shows a distinct preference for the latter. Also, trend following appears to be too simple an idea to be taken seriously. Indeed, simple ideas can take a very long time to be accepted – think of the concept of a negative number, or of zero: simple to us, but problematic to our ancestors.

Great point.

The Turtle Jerry Parker is Very Close to Gisele Bundchen

Posted on by Michael Covel

The NY Post report on Jerry Parker Net Worth

Staunch Republican R. Jerry Parker Jr., whose Virginia-based Chesapeake Capital Corp. manages more than $1.5 billion, is the new owner of Gisele Bundchen’s Barrow Street townhouse. Parker paid $12.95 million for the house — $1 million less than its asking price, reports The Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil. Parker got his start in the secretive “Turtle Program” of 1983, when trader Richard Dennis sought to prove that great trading was a skill that could be taught. Dennis, just back from Asia, boasted, “We are going to grow traders just like they grow turtles in Singapore.”

Old Pro Wisdom

Posted on by Michael Covel

An quotation from an old pro trend follower:

“Why do people think they’re smarter than the market long-term? What gives them that confidence? I guess people feel dumb if they can’t predict what the market is going to do in the short term. They’re too proud to admit they don’t know what to do when they’re wrong. They don’t have the capacity to understand the digits that are scrolling by on the bottom of the television. I don’t. It’s too much noise. That’s why we rely on our system.”

Who is being quoted? Hint: he did not start trading until his late thirties.
