⚙️ 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."
📜 Why This Strategy Works
Markets trend because information is absorbed gradually. Trent doesn't catch bottoms or tops—he catches middles, which is where the money is.
