Does Trend Following work on Stocks?

The evidence suggests that trend following can work well on stocks.
Buying stocks at new all time highs and exiting them after they’ve fallen below a 10 ATR trailing stop would have yielded a significant return on average.

The evidence also suggests that such trading would not have resulted in significant tax burdens relative to buy & hold investing.

Test results show the potential for diversification exceeding that of the typical mutual fund.
The trade results distribution shows significant right skew, indicating that large outlier trades would have been concentrated among winning trades rather than losing trades. At this stage we are comfortable answering the question “Does trend following work on stocks?” The evidence strongly suggests that it does.

Stockmarket Status as on Saturday Oct 20, 2007

Before the Friday Oct 19 crash, the markets had already been showing signs of weakness.

Notice how the price bars in DreamTai turned RED a few days before.
Now the market is at a very important level, which is the 50 day moving average (shown by pink line in DreamTai)
Surprisingly, Nasdaq remained strong. The QQQQ closed at the 20 day moving average support level (Blue line in DreamTai)

One possible scenario is that the market can crash and break down below the 50 day moving average level, at which stage the stock market is officially BEARISH.

Another scenario is that the market will use the 50 day moving average as support and rise up again.

Yet another scenario is that the market will just chop around the moving averages for some time till it decides the next course to take.

Let us wait and see what happens next.

It is safer not to enter any long positions and to tighten the stops on the existing positions.
