SI145: The 3 D's of Inflation ft. Mark Rzepczynski - a podcast by Niels Kaastrup-Larsen

Mark Rzepczynski returns this week to discuss the recent decline in commodity prices, perceived hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve, trading narratives versus trading price action, the feasibility of Trend Following on options, the increased time and labour of short-term trading, the benefits of huge sample sizes, the differences between trading single stocks versus index futures, how investing rules offset our natural human tendencies, whether Technical Analysis contributes to typical Trend Following strategies, and Mark explains the ‘3 D’s’ of inflation.
In this episode, we discuss:
Commodity prices falling, even after recent inflation fears
How price action incorporates all narratives
Trend Following on options
The extra costs of short-term trading
Single stocks versus index futures
If Technical Analysis forms part of a typical Trend Following system
Mark's '3 D's' of inflation
