On today\\u2019s show, we discuss when having lots of experience can sometimes work against you, why hard and fast rules can be better than making discretionary decisions, the importance of trading in appropriate position sizes, the amount of drawdown that will likely cause you to deviate from your system, the unpopularity of Trend Following strategies, creating an adaptive portfolio that can respond to market conditions, and why Trend Following should play a considerable part in your portfolio.  Questions we answer this week include: Should you use Trend Filters to confirm your entry signals?  Is the 60/40 portfolio usually less volatile than a typical \\u2018perfect\\u2019 Trend Following portfolio?  Do you recommend adding mean-reversion strategies to your Trend Following systems?  How do you define short, medium and long-term?
