I am starting this poll because I want to create my custom trend following system. The biggest drawback for a common trend following system which I know of is that they have very small winning percentage(20-30% or lesser) but some traders have reported more than 50% for their custom strategy. If you are a using a custom "optimal" trend following strategy then what is your winning percentage?. Optimal in the sense a robust trading strategy with a good return than mean reverting and also with a increased winning percentage.

Please only vote if you have such optimal trend following systems

Basically I am looking for those who backtested their strategy thoroughly in a historical data and i am looking for winning percentage in that test.

if sum1 is having exit depended on markets? I am assuming you are taking about live trading and its winning percentage. It will be very hard to assess the result of a live trading unless you are working with the same strategy for minimum 5 years
