Mark Rzepczynski joins us this week to discuss \u2018algorithm aversion\u2019 and the science of how \u2018model anxiety\u2019 shows investors to be naturally wary of rules-based systems. We also discuss how to evaluate momentum data, how a busy week for market news can still be a quiet week for Trend Followers, the benefits of moving away from \u2018peak complexity\u2019 as soon as possible, why having too many filters can expose a trader to large opportunity costs, the optimal percentage amount of risk per trade, as well as portfolio construction versus signal generation and which is more important.
