My big winning trades tend to last 3-4 months, whereas someone looking to capitalise from longer-term trends may hold them for many months, if not a year or longer. I am also more aggressive in cutting losing trades. A lot of my losers may only last a day or two. In addition, my trailing stops are generally tighter than longer-term trend followers. Hope this helps.Trader Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875469634283453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26012405.post-39591588339085952772018-02-13T18:10:49.226+00:002018-02-13T18:10:49.226+00:00Hi - thanks for the kind words.

I had to take a short break from the markets in the early summer of 2017, which completely screwed up all the metrics etc. There is no record of trades on the blog since then, due to my intermittent availability over the summer. However the record runs for almost 5 years and gives you a good idea of what can be achieved. People who traded longer-term than me did extremely well up until the last couple of weeks or so, and had to give back larger portions of profits, but rest assured trend following (on my own timeframe) is still working! If you look through the more recent posts, you will find about my biggest losing trade in 4 years, as well as a nice long trade in the Dow Jones which ran for a couple of months. Hope this helps!Trader Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07875469634283453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26012405.post-83892074331649353142018-02-13T10:49:55.301+00:002018-02-13T10:49:55.301+00:00Hi Mate,
