Really? All the breakout strategies too? Inside day breakouts, opening range breakouts, engulfing candle reversals? Where they fit? What about overbought/sold signals from stochastic or rsi? Divergence patterns? Are those classified as mean reverting? Where's the mean here i'm reverting back to? trendline breaks, MA crossovers against trend? What are those? I'm not trying to be a d*ck, i just want to understand where i'm wrong. I'd say there are TA algos with all the subvariants, one of which is trend following.
Just my opinion, but I think if any of the uber successful hedge funds were using any of those garden variety setups, they would have never made money. Think outside the box.
Easy don’t trade markets that are algo’d within an inch of their life. (Hint look in your own backyard @Darc
Growth v Dividend would probably only be considered by an investor. Why I like our market. Repeatable seasonal, time of the month patterns over a long period of time. Whales leave big footprints when they play our market. Occasionally foretells what will happen in the overnight markets. In my timezone. Futures and options can be traded over the index. As @MrMuppet once said find your niche market and milk that baby till its dry.
The Nasdaq's swings are much larger than the XJO. Traders trade the Nasdaq for the swings. Investors invest in the XJO for the Dividends.
I watched a few videos by Vinny e-mini and my understanding is that he traded exactly this kind of algo. Don’t know much about him, maybe someone could chime in.
Maybe some of the smaller one’s do. The major SLP algos don't view the market via retail time-series price charts. The charts on Nanex show their view closer than anything publically available.
