It depends on the strategy. For TF, it’s definitely true
Yeah this is really strategy and system-dependent. In ‘Market Wizards’ Jack is basically interviewing a bunch of trend followers who all traded during a period when trend following worked really well. Most would not have survived 2009-present day.

Keep that in mind before you think their advice applies to any other strategy/time period. The world changed!

I see, very important not to assume their advice will apply to other strategies. Serious Q: is the world less trendy now compared to when those Market Wizards were trading? Seems to me there have actually been a lot of low-vol trends (not in recent months lol, but generally)

There's no generic "right thing to do" in trading.
The approach should be driven by the edge/inefficiency you are trying to harness.
What's the simplest way to get exposure to the risk/effect that pays?
What's the cheapest, most effective way to mitigate risks that don't?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
