My guest today is Jerry Parker, an original Turtle, trained by Richard Dennis. However, since then he has very successfully run a managed money firm called Chesapeake Capital. The topic is Trend Following. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Series of tweets written by Parker and use them as a jumping-off point for conversation. Topics include price action, “normal” market behavior Recent moves in the Swiss Franc Paying attention to entries as well as exits Why investors are often their own worst enemy The first moment that Parker heard about price-based trading Becoming obsessed with asymmetrical risk and reward Why looking at trend following losses is important Why you can tell a system is robust if it has big drawdowns Backtesting and treating all trades with equal weight Jump in! --- I’m MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I’m proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.
