My name in Andrew Abraham. I have been investing in commodities and managed futures since 1994. I adhere to the philosophy of trend following.
Trend following stresses a disciplined approach to commodity/ futures trading. Successful trend following and commodity futures investing requires patience, discipline and actively managing the risk. What sets me apart from other traders is that I am not only concerned about the return on investment but how much risk I will have to tolerate to achieve my goals.
John Wooden Seven Point Creed
Was speaking to a colleague about John Wooden who was the famous basketball coach his seven point creed can be easily applied to trend following.
Be true to yourself.
Make each day your masterpiece.
Help others.
Drink deeply from good books, especially the Bible.
Make friendship a fine art.
Build a shelter against a rainy day.
Pray for guidance and give thanks for your blessings every day
Our success in trend following is not due to our robust trading models. There are years in which we do not make money and even lose money. Yet there are years we more than compensate for these years. Trading success is like manna ( Bread from heaven). It is GD given. If we are patient and disciplined we stand the chance to succeed. However when we apply the seven point creed to our lives our odds of success possibly are increased.
