Trend following

[Straddle1985]

I have backtested this with my own adjustments on several vehicles and it is my impression that commodity etfs will trend better than stock etfs. I do not think this works very well with broad based stock indices (with the notable exception of emerging markets).

This is also my experience after backtesting trend trading strategies for stocks. Strategies like moving averages, break-out ranges, bollinger bands, macd, ...
I was hoping ETF's would produce more stable results than stocks, but the results also were again disappointing.
