Repeat: trend following traders produced returns ranging from +5 to +40% for the single month of October 2008 at a time when most of Wall Street was imploding.
Crash Protection: Prepare for the Unexpected
By its very nature Trend Following trading seems to always be on the right side of trends (or crashes). Remember the 1987 stock crash? The 2000 dot-com bubble? Real estate crash? October 2008 crash? Trend Followers won big during those periods. In fact, over the last 30 years Trend Followers seem to always win when most people are losing.
Detach Emotions from Your Trading
Trend Following is objective. It is designed to detach emotions from your trading. There are precise rules. No more guessing or hoping. In fact, many great Trend Followers only look at prices after the market closes. They don't stare at the screen all day (or watch Jim Cramer). All you need is one hour a day to run your calculations. In fact, Trend Following can be a portable business. Trade through your Blackberry or iPhone.
Gain Adaptability
Your trading approach must be flexible. It needs to handle all market climates. Trend Following thrives on changing conditions.
Make Money in Up and Down Markets
The best traders make money in both up and down markets. Trend Following trading is designed to make money in both long and short markets. It makes money when markets go up. It makes money when markets go down. Trends go both ways and so do Trend Followers.
Intelligence: No Degree Required
There is no special degree required to become a Trend Follower, but you must have the right road map and trading rules. Our course allows anyone to learn how to make the big money.
Easy to Use: No Fundamental Analysis
Stop listening to talking heads on CNBC. Fundamentals have nothing to do with whether a market is trending or not. Trend Following is a form of technical analysis. It doesn't matter what a P/E ratio is if you are a Trend Follower. Crop reports? News flashes? Who cares. Trend Following relies on the variable of price for decision-making.
Risk Management
Great traders have an approach that tells you exactly how much you should buy or sell. Money management is a form of risk-management protection that all Trend Followers employ. We teach the best way to size your trades. You will learn position sizing completely for your specific situation. How do you handle volatility? Is there a difference between low and high volatility? There is and we teach it.
Know When To Get Out Before You Get In
Don't be burned because you failed to get out of a market. Don't be paralyzed by an inability to properly exit profitable positions. Trend Following solves this problem with precise rules that tell you exactly when to get out before you ever get in.
