Trends are everywhere - weather, sports, fashion, food, entertainment, health, science and politics. Some trends are long, some are short. They come and they go as they always have and always will. Life and business both thrive on identifying, following and serving trends. Market prices for metals, currencies, energies or bonds are no different.
This is why we are never very concerned when markets are trendless for a while. New trends come and go all the time, and our Systematic RS process is designed to identify the strongest trends and to latch on to them. The trends that continue for a long period of time can be very profitable.
