To the average investor the stock market can seem to be complicated and confusing. Stocks go up or down but not on a straight line. Investor/trader can always score an ‘A’ on reading financial statement, or purchase the most expensive technical analysis software thinking it is a crystal ball. But what matters most is ‘trend’ and I’m talking about from the long term trend (1year-2years) to, the medium term trend (3months-6months), and to the short term trend (days-weeks).

Trend following is an investment/trading strategy that focus on capturing the different timeframe (long term – short term) on a particular market/stock based on every individual preference of timeframe. This allows investor/trader to ignore the ‘market noises’ that can thoroughly affect their everyday decision as trend is what they follow.
