Part 2 I’m saying trend following does not work anymore. I’m saying that “old trend following” does not work anymore.

New approaches must be used to improve the trend following for today’s markets. Below are graphs of SP500 (Yahoo symbol ^GSPC) Prices and returns showing the structural breaks that were discovered.
