Evaluation of momentum and trend following strategies applied to cryptocurrencies looks promising

Irrespective of the authors credibility, the time series doesn't lie. There has been consistent increases in price on many cryptocurrencies which leads me to believe they would lend themselves very well to a trend following system.

Hey, it's your money. I can find a good use for it ;)
 
How hard is trend trading long term on BTC when simple Buy and Hold the past 5 years earned you %%%%%%%% returns without having to lift a finger.
 
you do know that this isn't a bull market anymore in BTC ? we are just making a bear-rally so be very carefull if you try to pull off trendfollowing trades ... one trend can be totally inverted to the trend in the higher timeframe: that's what makes a market ...

You do know that a trend can mean down as well as up...
 
that was exactly my point ... we are again in an uptrend at this point in time ... however we are in a bear market, we just need to see the lower top ... my guestimate is we'll see that one at around 18000 from then on the trend will be down ...
