Hello, I would like to know your view on this article by John Taylor.
Thanks for the opportunity to clarify:
1. In my 4 books I address multiple historical instances where trend following was pronounced “dead”.
2. Trend following is not meant to be a currency only strategy. Diversification is mission critical.
3. Some trend following performance for comparison: https://www.trendfollowing.com/performance. Please keep eyes wide open to a longer time horizon v. the short-term focus of a WSJ reporter spin pen.
4. Taylor sounds as if he is using fundamentals to explain trend following strategy. Trend following is a systematic technical strategy. There is no fundamental usage.
How can you move forward immediately to Trend Following profits? My books and my Flagship Course and Systems are trusted options by clients in 70+ countries.
