Summary
My guest today is Eric Dugan, the founder of 3D Capital Management, where he runs two primary intraday systems: short-biased S&P 500 and long-short trend following S&P 500 using multiple global markets as inputs and indicators. His systems analyze the flow of markets around the world and attempt to identify how the action in a certain market will impact the S&P during U.S. trading hours. Eric has not missed a trading day since the inception of 3D Capital Management 11 years ago.
The topic is trading.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- Risk Control
- Identifying trends
- Profiting from weakness in the stock market
- Trading world markets
- Buying high and selling higher
