My guest today is Christopher Cruden, Cruden has been in the trend following space for over 25 years. In 1988 he became a Director of Adam, Harding and Lueck Asset Management Ltd (AHL) in London, a famed trend following shop. He is currently the head of Insch Capital Management.
The topic is Trend Following.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Why price is an unimpeachable fact
- Early "lightbulb" moments that brought Cruden to the style of trading he practices today
- The notion of going currency only
- Why Cruden's program is akin to a raincoat in bad weather
- Riding increased volatility and increased directional trending
- Getting clients to understand that you cannot force a system to make money
- Benchmark selection and time period selection
- Why the S&P 500 is a trading system; performance drivers
- The duration of trades
- Why if you can't measure it, you can't manage it
- How Cruden's strategy would change if Europe reverted back to before the introduction of the Euro
- How markets teach humility
- Why Cruden only trades once a day
