Trend Following depends on the large winner/loser size ratio and very strict risk management due to the potentially huge strings of consecutive losing trades as winning rate is low.

Trading models with high winning rate, if average winner/loser size ratio is controlled, naturally then allows for larger risk per trade due to the smaller maximum consecutive losing trades, therefore provides an increased rate of profit growth.

Most newbies apply trend following methods because they're "easy". I didn't say they can't be profitable.
