Nirvana's near term plans include adding more trending strategies to the mix. They can be very profitable, and unlike RTM strat's they don't tend to "churn" the account quite as much. For some traders they are highly preferable. But the Achilles heel of trending strats is that they perform poorly in inappropriate market conditions - just as RTM strat's don't do well in trending markets. By utilizing a market-mode identification filter, the different types of strategies can be utilized most effectively and intelligently. I'm sure that if you don't want to use the filter feature you won't have to - but some folks believe it is a welcome and essential tool. [Edited by Jim Dean on 12/24/2013 1:09 PM] | |
