My guest today is Jerry Parker, a trend following trader with over 25 years of experience. His firm is Chesapeake Capital and he was featured in Covel's book "The Complete TurtleTrader."
The topic is Trend Following.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Fitness
- The Hindenburg "omen"
- Objective entry/exit criteria
- Why you'd stay in a long position that you wouldn't want to enter into today
- The "oversleeping" hypothetical
- The idea that reducing volatility increases risk
- Definitions of volatility and risk
- Parker's thoughts on trend followers not really having drawdowns in the typical sense
- "Managed futures" and why investors may not want that vs. "trend following"
- Definitions of "managed futures" and "trend following"
- Why managed futures isn't a good term for some
