Ride the Bucking Bronco: The Nature of the Trend Following Profit Beast

Some trading 101 from Trend Commandments:

One of the most useful criticisms that you can use to further your understanding centers on prediction. Trend followers… do not predict a market’s timing or distinction. Trend followers react to market movements. It is a critical distinction best seen in the words of trend follower Bill Dunn, “We don’t make market predictions. We just ride the bucking bronco.”
