62 The Systematic Investor Series – November 17th, 2019




Top Traders Unplugged show

Summary: <br> In this week’s edition, we discuss the possible benefits of running a multi-strategy portfolio, whether or not you need to have a ‘feel’ for the markets before constructing a model, the new all-time highs on the Dow, Trend Following as a viable solution to the end of the 60/40 portfolio, and the longer-term drawbacks of chasing performance from different fund managers.  Questions we cover this week include: What really went wrong with LTCM? Should Trend Followers also employ Buy &amp; Hold strategies? Is it ok to ‘leave money on the table’?  How would you go about getting into the CTA industry? <br> If any listeners would like to leave us a voicemail message to play on the show, you can do so <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/ttuvoicemail">here</a>.<br> Learn more about the free-to-use Top Traders Unplugged Trend Barometer <a href="https://www.toptradersunplugged.com/resources/market-trends/">here</a>.<br> You can download your free guide to Systematic Investing, and subscribe to our mailing list by visiting <a href="http://www.toptradersunplugged.com/">TopTradersUnplugged.com</a><br> Get a free copy of my latest book "The Many Flavors of Trend Following" <a href="http://www.toptradersunplugged.com/book">here</a>.<br> Send your questions to <a href="mailto:info@toptradersunplugged.com">info@toptradersunplugged.com</a><br> Follow Niels, Jerry &amp; Moritz on Twitter:<br> <a href="https://twitter.com/TopTradersLive">@TopTradersLive,</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/rjparkerjr09">@RJparkerjr09</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/moritzseibert">@MoritzSeibert</a><br> And please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest rating &amp; review on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/top-traders-unplugged-niels/id888420325?mt=2">iTunes</a> so more people can discover the podcast.<br> <br> Episode Summary<br> 0:00 - Intro<br> 1:05 - Events review<br> 4:00 - Review of returns &amp; more<br> 17:10 - Top tweets<br> 51:50 - Question 1: Carl; Is the stop price impacted by the cost of execution?<br> 55:30 - Question 2: Saleh; Can you design a system that works in both trending markets and range bound markets?<br> 1:01:55 - Question 3: Edrico; When adding new markets, do you consider correlations to existing markets in a system?<br> 1:04:10 - Question 4: Glen; How would you break into the CTA industry?<br> 1:13:35 - Performance recap<br> Subscribe on:<br> <a href="https://www.toptradersunplugged.com/itunes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/top-traders-unplugged" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/toptradersunplugged-com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><br>
