OT: Trend following

I no longer own ANY individual names in my portfolio including Intel. A few years ago I developed an ETF trend-following model that focuses on risk management to minimize draw downs in our portfolio. It's not that unique, there are lots of trend-following strategies out there.

But since my wife and I both retired early some years ago, draw downs became more significant emotionally than they were when we were working. I don't hit any home runs anymore, although I didn't hit that many before :), but this strategy provides growth during uptrends and minimizes draw downs during down trends. The model uses price and price ONLY to recognize market volatility to ignore (and hold) vs. volatility to respect (and reduce).

Would be happy to share more should you or anyone else start investigating trend-following strategies.
