Trend Following "SUPER FUND" down

Any serious professional knows what an absolute joke this comment is. Some of the most successful funds that trade forex and commodities are trend following. Trend/counter-trend, BOTH work. You are acting like the typical ET bird-brain who just figured out the realm of counter-trend trading after failing to employ a successful trend strategy, thus now de-facto conclude trend is counter-"intuitive."

If/when a newb is fortunate enough to make it around the block, they will realize what an entirely circle-jerk argument this thread represents.

 

aha, issit coz u want to fade surf. smart move

 

that's not true. 2008 our option arb fund up over 60%, smaller option marketmaking vol/arb fund up over 300% prior to rule change in late summer--can't get into details.

what's the difference between "trend following" and buy/sell and hold??

thanks, surf

 

many here do. i think its 5k minimum--the hedge fund for the masses....

There's nothing "hedge" about it. It's marketed as a managed futures fund, and the founders use a trend-following indicator to follow trends in a diversity of futures markets.

You simply don't like some of the answers so you ignore them. Great political tactic.

 

Get a life.

yes, i agree with you, except for the final statement---i would change it to read "succesful trading must encompass more information than charts can provide"
