    What ever word you want to use. Price causes the indicators to move, not the other way around.

    I'll tell the guys that they are not comfortable.:)

    Whatever :wtf: :rolleyes:

    Maybe you meant to combine Buy & Hold investment strategy with a Trend Following strategy ???

    I say the above because many investors say Trend Following strategy beats a Buy & Hold investment strategy.

    In fact, several websites compares the two as independent and against each other.

    https://seekingalpha.com/article/90...ng-trading-models-have-dominated-buy-and-hold

    Also, I specifically remember a debate in college between my girlfriend (finance student) and a buddy of mine (economics student) many many years ago (late 1980s)...one advocating Trend Following while the other advocating Buy & Hold.

    Thus, I strongly believe Trend following is independent of Buy & Hold. Yet, I believe both can be combined. Many articles at institutional websites, finance schools supports that the two are very different.

    I've seen the top of 2007 as i started my career in the capital markets. I've witnessed the meltdown that followed and the years that came after.buy and hold strategy is misleading at times. given the market current highs, a buy and hold may generate in the future an annual return which may be less than satisfatory. give me another market meltdown and i'll happily put a hefty portion of my savings into an index and hold it till pension comes. I can't enter such a position at these market highs and sleep good at night seeing how valuations are stretched and the next recession is likely closer than than most pl think, unless we're gonna see an epic bubble to postpone it. Having said that, even trying to time entries and exits into/out of indices seems prudent rather than buying ludicrous pricings...
