After the quickest 10% correction straight from an all-time-high in stock market history last week, we discuss how human emotions & behaviours played their part, the threat of the coronavirus and its effect on world economies, why a week is too short a time to judge if CTAs are providing \u2018crisis alpha\u2019, and why short-term systems should have performed really well during the selloff. Questions we cover include: How do you define \u2018signal strength\u2019? Do you use stop-losses, and if so, how? Can you apply Trend Following systems to micro futures contracts?
