At one time, I was the Director of Research at Futures Truth Magazine. I had the great pleasure working with some of the greatest minds in technical analysis (Fitschen, Stuckey, Ruggiero, Fox, Waite and many others.) I learned from their knowledge, and I saw first hand how their trend following techniques shot to the moon, then fell back to earth and finally rise again. From 2014 until early 2020, I witnessed the entire Trend Following System industry collapse. Systems such as Aberration, CatScan, Andromeda, Super Turtle and numerous others that had ridden the high flying trends of the 1990s, the 2000s and the early 2010s rode off into the sunset way before the genesis of the pandemic. Trend Followers, were the sweet hearts of many futures fund managers for many, many years. These fund managers, at one time, had billions under their control. Since the pandemic we have seen many of these systems rise from the ashes like a Phoenix. The long wait, more like an eternity, for the increase in commodity prices finally arrived as the globe started to shut down. This "dead calm" outlasted many fund managers' ability to weather the storm (or the lack of); incentive fees (hedge fund managers pay structure) went unpaid for years. Why hedge something that never went down? Just buy and hold a tech stock. Commodities are limited resources (oil, corn, beans, gold, etc.,.) - eventually the prices would have to rise - right? That's what we all thought and kept telling ourselves while wandering in the wilderness after the last boom in 2014. It took a major global disaster to finally wake up prices and put some pressure on the stock market. The raging Bull that trampled many hedge fund managers for years, started to show some weakness. This might be the time to turn our attention back to Trend Folllowing!
