From Phil:
“In this episode I welcome Nick Radge from The Chartist and Harbourside Capital to discuss technical analysis and momentum trading. Nick’s journey into financial markets began accidentally 38 years ago. He shares how his passion for charting and understanding market movements grew over the years, leading him to develop a systematic approach to investing by measuring relative momentum.
Nick explained the importance of understanding how much you can gain when you win while limiting the downside when you lose. Successful investing isn’t about getting every investment right, but about managing your risk and maximising your profits when you do make successful trades. This is a crucial mindset shift for many investors who may focus too heavily on their losing picks.
We talked about the concept of relative momentum and how it can inform your investment decisions. He explains how analyzing market trends through technical analysis can provide investors with valuable insights into when to buy or sell assets. The discussion touches on the foundational elements of technical analysis, such as the open, high, low, and close prices, and how these data points can signal market strength and volatility.
At Harbourside Capital, Nick’s All-Weather Fund uses this approach across assets like equities, gold, and bonds to keep volatility low at 6%. It’s built for retirees or anyone dodging big market drops. By using ETFs, he cuts individual stock risk, dynamically shifting to what’s trending up.
Nick warns new investors about get-rich-quick schemes flooding the internet. Stick to ASIC-licensed advice, he says. His son Zach, now running The Chartist, learned to build quantitative models and is crushing it with a 60% return this year. Nick’s other kids? Less interested, but he’s growing their wealth with the All-Weather Fund.”
