My guest today is Jerry Parker, an original Turtle, trained by Richard Dennis. However, since then he has very successfully run a managed money firm called Chesapeake Capital.
The topic is Trend Following.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Series of tweets written by Parker and use them as a jumping-off point for conversation. Topics include price action, "normal" market behavior
- Recent moves in the Swiss Franc
- Paying attention to entries as well as exits
- Why investors are often their own worst enemy
- The first moment that Parker heard about price-based trading
- Becoming obsessed with asymmetrical risk and reward
- Why looking at trend following losses is important
- Why you can tell a system is robust if it has big drawdowns
- Backtesting and treating all trades with equal weight
