Could you please elaborate on this? What are you using as risk criteria, signals, etc.?
Trend for each asset class is evaluated on a weekly basis by crossovers of moving average pairs (nominally 10 and 40 week) applied to total return for the asset. When the trend is up (10 week > 40 week) I am long and when the trend is down (10 week < 40 week) I'm in cash. I use secondary indicators (primarily breadth) to resolve stagnant periods when the trend is indeterminate, and maintain trailing stops when the uptrend appears to be degrading.
