Trend Following-Trend Commandments

I would like to try and keep this thread related to trend following (and not banter that goes nowhere). Event yesterday in Chicago:

Hope some here made it.

Covel, what is your definition of a trend?

 

Not disputing their past glory but I bet both those old timers wouldn't make it had they just started today.....

Did you get to attend an ES tribe meeting with the polyamorous ladies? :eek:

 

Attend? Who do you think is sitting on the stage? ;-)

 

So much for keeping the usual nonsense out of this thread

 

Nice! Any audio or video of meeting?

This looks interesting regarding Hite

As of 2010, Hite partnered with International Standard Asset Management (ISAM) to create a multi-strategy platform of liquid hedge fund strategies as well as a fund of managed accounts.


Looks like he may b diversifying away from the trend following of yore.

Video excerpts will follow...

 

Great, hopefully Seykota will perform the whipsaw song.

 

He did...see the pics on links I sent...

 

That room was filled with fund managers, CTAs, etc. I seriously doubt any of them left after 75+ minutes thinking Seykota and Hite were "old timers".
