Collins - Futures Magazine [2003] - April 2003 - Volume 32 - Number 5 "Seeking the perfect formula through portfolio weighting" Trend-following works - but not all the time in all markets.

Collins - Futures Magazine [2002] - April 2002 - Volume 31 - Number 5 "Old statistical methods for new tricks in analysis" The frequent occurrence of an approximately normal distribution for stock closing prices opens the way for market technicians to apply traditional, well-founded, statistical decision methods instead of more specialized methods of current technical analysis, at least for short-term trading. - Dennis McNicholl - Futures Magazine [2002] - April 2002 - Volume 31 - Number 5 "Determining Equity Growth Performance" What Can You Realistically Expect From You Trading System? - What are the merits of using technical analysis trading systems?
