Ep. 191: Eric Crittenden Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

Dec 8, 2013

My guest today is Eric Crittenden, a Founding Partner responsible for managing all research, risk quantification and trading operations. He's also been featured in Covel's own Little Book of Trading.

The topic is a white paper that was originally released in 2005 that concerns trend following on stocks.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • The decision to do research into trend following on equities, and the background behind the white paper
  • Why others weren’t trading equities with a trend following strategy at the time, and why there’s been a sea change in the industry now
  • Stress tests
  • How Critenden’s models and datastreams apply to a model
  • If Crittenden sees anything on the horizon that takes trend following on equities in a suboptimal direction, and where he sees it going in the future
  • Whether Crittenden’s work is all price driven and all systematic
  • The amount of human judgment involved in Crittenden’s strategy
  • Why this strategy works if it’s based on inefficiencies in the market, and Eugene Fama just won a Nobel Prize regarding the markets being efficient
  • Why exposure management is more important than the entries and exits themselves
  • The importance of blocking out distractions.
