Hi,
I have a question regarding the Z-Score: In the video, we learn that trading strategies that rely upon infrequent but big wins are not favorable to trade. Am I right when I think that with this, the "classical" trendfollowing is also criticised, since that strategy naturally relies on the one big win to offset the frequent but small losses? Or, is the difference, that most trendfollowing strategies are traded by funds / CTAs with computers, so that there is no possibility to miss a trade vs the retail investor that might miss a trade due to outside factors?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards
Kristof.
