No Forecasts<br />

Trend following does not forecast markets or price levels. It is<br />

reactive and systematic by nature and demands strong self-<br />

discipline to follow the rules. It involves a risk management system<br />

utilizing current market price, equity level in an account and current<br />

market volatility. Initial risk evaluation determines the position size<br />

at the time of entry. Changes in price may lead to a gradual reduction<br />

or increase of the initial position. Adverse price movements may lead<br />

to an exit for the entire position. Historically, trend following trader's<br />

average profit per trade is significantly higher than the average loss<br />

per trade.<br />

partner William Eckhardt over whether trading skills could be taught.<br />

Dennis strongly believed that trading abilities could be broken down<br />

into a set of rules that could be passed on to others. Eckhardt believed<br />

trading abilities had more to do with innate instincts.<br />

Can the skills of a successful trader be learned? Or are they innate, some sort of<br />

sixth sense a lucky few are born with? Richard Dennis, the legendary Chicago<br />

trader, who turned a grubstake of $400 into $200 million in 18 years, has no<br />

doubt. Following an experiment with a group of would-be traders recruited from<br />

around the country, he's convinced trading can be learned. Over the past 1 1/2<br />
