How trend market following brings big revenues

The big winners of 2008 were those who performed the most successful trend following model, enjoying some of the greatest returns and revenues in years, despite the downward market. Some big names were among those winners, who managed to come back despite the fact that they were dealing with huge problems in last five or more years. Commodities, interest rates and currency moves were the ones that brought the biggest returns to the trend market traders. The interesting part was that many hedges were going down this year, despite the fact that they should be the first to keep the market up.
