A Turtle talks about trend following on stocks

Almost a month ago I posted this article about how that, given the recent price action, I was currently shorting individual stocks. I also mentioned that I had recently taken a couple of long trades, again purely based on meeting my entry criteria and triggering an entry.

Well, since then the long positions taken ended up generating small losses, but some of the short trades taken are still going strong. No reason to exit if the trend is still intact and the trailing stops haven't been hit...

What is your definition of trading success?

I came across an interesting discussion recently about success in trading. If you go and look around you can find dozens of different definitions as to what is success, not only in trading, but also life in general.

And, as with most discussions, everyone will have their own opinion or belief about how you define success, and it will almost certainly differ from the opinions or beliefs of others.
