Whipsaw: The Song Remains The Same
From Safehaven.com:
Whipsaw is an ever-present challenge in the trading and investment arena. According to one of Jack Schwagers original Market Wizards Ed Seykota, the only way to avoid whipsaw losses is stop trading and investing. Disengagement may work for a time however; I do not believe that Seykota intended for people to interpret his quote as a serious solution.
Seykota, best known for his extremely successful trend-based strategies, concedes that each is subject to whipsaw drawdowns and losses. In addition to being one of the best-in-class trading systems developers, Seykota has musical talents and a rather keen sense of humor as well.
The video below is of Ed Seykota and his blue grass band performing “The Whip-Saw Song.” Embedded within the artistic levity are numerous pearls of wisdom. Do enjoy.
