I assume you are referring to technical analysis as a supplement.
Right. I developed my own trend-following system.
Do you trade this system in any consistent way?
I use the system primarily as a backup to tell me when to get out of a position.
Can you think of an example?
At the start of 1988,1 was long the bond market primarily because I was expecting a weaker economy.
Everything seemed to be on target until early March when the bond market started edging down. At some point, you
have to say you are wrong. In this case, my system provided me with the rationale for getting out of my losing
position.
What went wrong with that trade?
Basically, the economy was a lot stronger than I had anticipated. I thought that there would be a bigger fear
factor left over from the October 1987 stock market crash than actually materialized.
