The full title of this book by JB Marwood is
“Trend Following 101: A Concise Guide To Trading Long And Short“.
In my review on Amazon.co.uk, I gave the book a rating of Four Stars. This means I consider the book to be good.
Here is my book review.
A good introduction to trend following
The book title promises a concise guide and that’s what you get.
If you’re intrigued by the idea of having a system for investment then beware of looking too deeply into this before you’ve mastered the basic concepts because it can get extraordinarily complicated.
This book gives you the basics and no more. If you’re already familiar with the idea of trend following and buying/selling with price movements, you won’t gain much.
The book admits that trend following hasn’t done particularly well since the Great Financial Crash but was successful during the chaos of 2008. Trend following has the advantage that it can be tested against back history but there is a danger. We’ve never experienced a time when markets have been more distorted by central banks. It’s impossible to know how any trend following process will stand up in the nightmare scenario of extreme drops in price combined with liquidity problems if people can’t immediately trigger sales.
It is available to buy from Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com.
