I am doing trend following from almost a year now but I never read a single book on Trend following until last week.
Whatever fundas or systems I m using all are mentioned in this book.

Few important points from the book :
1. Your entry should be based on your predefined rules.
if you don't have rules don't trade.

2. There is no target in Trend following. the only Exit is stop loss or trail stop loss.
(Personally, I don't follow trailing stop loss. I am an intraday trader )

3. Backtest and stress test your results. if something is profitable at 930 entry that must also be profitable at 940 entry.
if it's profitable at 10% SL it should also be profitable at 12% SL and so on.

4. Be diversified. What worked in the past may not work in the future. So be future-ready.
(There is a 50% difference in return in my best scheme and in my worst scheme. But I run both bcoz I never know when the best will become worst and the worst will become best)

5. Don't predict markets.
No one can predict a market trend, you can only react to one. Trend following never anticipates the beginning or end of a trend. It only acts when the trend changes. There is no need to figure out why a market is trending, just follow it.
