“The reason you need volatility control is more from the psychological side of things than anything else. If you have too much volatility in any one position, it will attract attention, and you don’t want to attract attention. ”

– David Cheval

Systematic trend tracking

I trade both momentum and trend and I know many of you do too and like the strategies. It's no wonder.

Buying strength and avoiding losers is, I think, the easiest way to beat the index. It's simple, but it's not easy. In the beginning, it's easy to focus on the wrong things.

It's easy to think that buying signals are the most important thing, i.e. when to buy, what indicators to use or what formations to look for.

Systematic trend following has nothing to do with formations, candlesticks, cycles, wave patterns, Elliott Wave, RSI, MACD, Gann, Fibonacci, Ichikokudo Clouds or other technical methods. Nor with macro or stock picking.

We avoid believing, hoping or guessing what will happen in the future. It is about systematically identifying trends, taking positions and managing positions within the framework of a diversified portfolio.

The principle is simple, but not easy to follow. Perhaps you are a constant seeker of the Holy Grail.

You give up when you face adversity to find another strategy that you hope will work better. Maybe you are arrogant. A big ego makes it difficult to take losses. Or maybe you lack patience. You want results quickly.
