No Rain

This post brought in this feedback:

IMHO, the author must be confused about trend following (and a technical approach to trading). If one were to create a model or system based upon observances of “rain” or “sunshine” (one type of “non-rain”) that would be a technical system, not a fundamental one. Making predictions is for people who like the feelings around appearing intelligent or being “correct”, which has nothing to do with being a profitable trader. If anything, it is emotional intelligence that matters most in trading. Also to consider that as a speculator, sometimes you don’t have to make any predictions or decisions about “the rest of the day” - you can just observe the weather and enjoy that, unless you like the feeling of making predictions. My guess is that your new fan likes those feelings.
