Gibbons' Twin-Bar Trading System works because it cannot miss a major market move by definition, and it cannot be on the wrong side of a moving market for long (cut losses short). This eliminates two of the major causal reasons for trader failure. The first reason is that many traders fail to capitalize (they miss the trade) on occasional major market moves that are responsible for much of the profitability in any given year. The second reason is that many traders allow losses to run. Disciplined systematic trend followers cannot let losses run because most trend following models will jump out of losing trades fairly quickly and reverse course to get on the right side of a directional move.

Black swans (unexpected events) will always occur, and we take advantage of them if they cause sufficient change in directional movement. The Twin-Bar Trading System can take advantage of black swan events (we went short on 10/9/1987) days before the crash. The Twin-Bar has been on the correct side of all major market moves for it's entire history.

Prices predict the future- not investors, traders or analysts

One of the biggest mistakes the vast majority of investors and traders make is to hold to the premise that you have to be able to forecast to make money in the markets. That is why "forecasting" services and predictions are so popular. People attempting to tell you (for a price like a fortune teller) what the best stocks are to hold for the future, what a stock will do a year from now, or if gold will be higher or lower in two years. Gurus galore and they tell you with great hubris how they have a special connection to the future. The reality is, no on can predict or forecast markets with any consistency over long periods of time.

Fortune tellers make predictions as do most investors. What they don't get is that no one can predict or know the future. Trend following is about reacting to the now situation- not attempting to anticipate reversals or breakouts.

Black swans are much more common than most people think, and fat tails are where we make a lot of our profit. The Twin-Bar trading system has been on the right side of every major market move from the beginnings of the markets. It has done that because it automatically adjusts and changes course (if need be) to mirror the market.

The reason for our success is precisely the opposite of making predictions. We follow trends- we don't predict anything. If a market is going up, at a certain point we go long because a market going up is repeating what it has done recently- that is, going up. If a market is going down, we sell and sell short. We don't have price objectives or targets and the so-called analytical methods employed by most investors are worthless. We simply get aboard the bucking bronco and ride the horse in the direction it's going.
