My guest today is Eric Crittenden, a Founding Partner responsible for managing all research, risk quantification and trading operations. He's also been featured in Covel's own Little Book of Trading.

The topic is trading.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Sustainability vs. short term inefficiencies
  • Being "ultra long term trend followers" and some of the reasons why he believes it to be the most robust approach
  • Crittenden's peers and influences--particularly Tom Basso
  • Why Crittenden decided on a "trend following mutual fund" model, and the benefits to that model
  • Looking at performance data and understanding when trend following (or the media perception of it) falls "below average"
  • Diversification and the markets Crittenden chooses to trade
  • Risk control
  • Who can buy into and the minimum investment required
  • Whether most of the large liquid markets work within the robust structure
