What's the point? Trading as a trend follower is a learned behavior. Not everyone is going to trade this way. Most people want no more complexity in their life than to buy and hold. Most people don't want to think or learn about new methods. It takes discipline.

But, if the students of Richard Dennis or the students of Richard Donchian don't provide inspiration as to how important learning the right method is toward achieving success...well buy a mutual fund and shoot for 12% a year.
