βš™οΈ Trading Strategy

50-day MA trend following, 3% strength threshold

Identifies established trends using the 50-day moving average. Enters when price is 3% above the MA (confirming strength) and exits when it crosses below.

🎯 Best Suited For

Commodities, currencies, trending markets

"Don't fight the tape. Don't predict the tape. Just follow the tape."

πŸ“œ Why This Strategy Works

Markets trend because information is absorbed gradually. Trent doesn't catch bottoms or topsβ€”he catches middles, which is where the money is.

πŸ‘€ Personality

Humble, disciplined, almost monk-like. Doesn't predict, only reacts. Believes fighting trends is ego, and ego is expensive.
