My guest today is Jerry Parker, an original Turtle, trained by Richard Dennis. However, since then he has very successfully run a managed money firm called Chesapeake Capital.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Series of tweets written by Parker and use them as a jumping-off point for conversation. Topics include price action, “normal” market behavior
• Recent moves in the Swiss Franc
• Paying attention to entries as well as exits
• Why investors are often their own worst enemy
• The first moment that Parker heard about price-based trading
• Becoming obsessed with asymmetrical risk and reward
• Why looking at trend following losses is important
• Why you can tell a system is robust if it has big drawdowns
• Backtesting and treating all trades with equal weight
