In some ways, for automated systems, missing a good trade is worse than a loss. Here's what William Eckhardt had to say in Market Wizards. https://twitter.com/Buy_The_Dip_/status/1374976781443162113 …pic.twitter.com/AoLtN8JvDd

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 have definitely been fewer short to medium term trends (5-60 days) which was what a lot of the early CTAs were focusing on.

One thing I love about the Market Wizards books is that you can tell in hindsight the traders who were successful because their trading style/strategy fit the regime at the time and those who are genuinely great adaptable traders.

Who do you think falls into the latter category? Probably michael platt, anyone else?
