How to Safely Ride the Trend to a Profitable End
Ed Seykota is one of the world’s greatest traders. He’s most famous for turning $5,000 into $15 million in just 12 years. That means he earned an average of 95% per year for more than a decade. Very few people can match that kind of performance. Here’s what most people probably don’t know about Seykota, though… He’s also a banjo player and singer for a bluegrass band. And the lyrics to “The Whipsaw Song” contain more wisdom about investing than any other advice you’ll ever hear. (Watch his must-see performance right here.)What do we do when we catch a trend, honey?
What do we do when we catch a trend, babe?
What do we do when we catch a trend?
We ride that trend right to the end.
—Ed Seykota, “The Whipsaw Song”

The Simple Way to Identify Trends
Markets tend to move in trends. The key is to determine which direction the trend is moving: up or down. One way to determine which way the market is moving is to use trend lines. An uptrend line is formed by connecting each low to a new, higher low. If each higher low is proceeded by an even higher low (called a “bounce”), then an uptrend line forms. Three bounces off the trend line confirms the uptrend. You can see an example of this in the chart below.-
Point 1: The bottom of the 2009 bear market.
-
Point 2: The second bounce indicates an uptrend.
-
Point 3: The third bounce confirms the uptrend.
-
Point 4: The fourth bounce reinforces the uptrend, making it more likely to hold in the future.

How to Know a Trend Has Ended
As of this writing, the S&P 500’s price is around 2,460. Its trend line sits at 2,100. If the price drops below 2,100 (about a 14% drop from today), the trend has reversed… and we should exit. The beauty of this system is that you won’t be shaken out of the trend too early. And each day the trend line moves up, it protects a little more of your gains. How has this worked in the past? Pretty well. See the chart below.Recommended Link | ||
