$1900 gold? that's just crazy talk, gasoline would have to go to $4.00 a gallon before that would ever happen. Dream on dreamer, you might as well be trying to sell drinking water

Hello,

let's say your trend trades have good entries signal.

How do you know when the trend is getting stronger or not ? only when it is reversing or do you use some stochastic..? just wondering

thank you

You know it has reversed when it has reversed, and no this is not a smart ass reply.

in hindsight is only when you know it reversed.

Quote from oldtime:

probably the best trend following system is the one that messes you up most in a choppy market.

Why not run one trend following system on another's equity curve?

if chop > (value) then positionsize = 0 else positionsize = lvg*accountequity*riskamt

etc......
