Technical Trend Following

by Matthew D'Ambrosio

After many failed attempts of different quantative methods and various charting techniques this method has proven to be far superior and more inportantly - just plain reliable. By using 4 technical charts, that being 10-50 EMA coupled with 50/200 day MA, ADX (Di-, Di+), MACD and Volume. This allows me perfect entry points to catch the trend early to maximize profits and also the opportune time to exit the trade to lock in gains. With all this being said, there is no 100% sure-fire way to beat the market year in and year out but limiting small losses and maximizing big gains will make all happy who follow.
