Trend-following systems are designed to take every signal, losing on most trades (70% or so), winning on a few (30% or so), with small losers and big winners.


I think that this is dependent on the markets traded. I cannot take all the signals given when I scan 500 stocks using a long term system since I don't have that much money. If I was only following 20 stocks  would definately be able to take all signals.


I am reading Way of the Turtle at the moment and it looks like it will offer some good insights in terms of drawdowns and trend following systems.
