I have never met a successful trend follower

Correct. The Fed money printing has been keeping current trend going, going, going. Otherwise it trends very infrequently.

 

It is true, though most traders don't follow this simple principle. They chase reversals.

 

That is normal:those who know are silent, those who don't know speak (or ask advice).

Forums are filled with people trying to find an answer to the problem: how to become profitable.

Similar to car owners that post on internet. Those who have problems with teir car post about it, but those who are happy will almost never post. Same phenomenon.

 

I concur

 

I bet none of the people saying trend trading works in this thread are profitable traders.

 

I am profitable and only take trend-following trades.

However, these are NEVER intra-day.

 

That's just plain rude, and insulting toward your fellow-members: you're calling us liars.

I don't see that going down too well, myself.

 

Should I pull out the stupid chart, or is this thread finally done with stupid on trends?

 

Never mind, no time to wait for stupid responses from the OP.

Digest the following, and then reconsider what you are on about, OP.

If inflationary "glory days" are back, then is it time for trend following to shine again?
