TREND: sustained changes in prices in the same direction (usually after consolidations)
FOLLOWING: detect these changes, jump on board and hold as long there is a change in the
opposite direction
PRICE: MAIN VARIABLE (other variables can be used to filter price info however price is THE
objective point of reference)
REACTION no PREDICTION (hardest part to accept due to Outcome Bias): we do not deal with
certainties on the result but only with probabilities. We do not know the result of the next
trade: possibly, it will be a (big) win but, probably, it will be a (small) loss.

Consec.
Losses
If our %WIN is 40% then, in the long run, we WILL get 18 losses in a row
If we risk 4% on each trade, that will be enough to lose 50% of our equity even with FF

Strategies that are LONG ONLY, Profits and Losses always reinvested
No commissions, slippage, taxes (low trading frequency anyway)
When in cash NO interest added (lets see the system for what it is)
Using SIMILAR lengths in these models, the SHAPE of equity lines is
SIMILAR so there is no real advantage in using one model or the other
No need to over-fit on a SPECIFIC stock/sector: some models work great on
certain stocks and poorly on others hence
