Trend trading strategies filtered by the Market Meanness Index.

The Market Meanness Index tells whether the market is currently moving in or out of a "trending" regime. It can this way prevent losses by false signals of trend indicators. It is a purely statistical algorithm and not based on volatility, trends, or cycles of the price curve.
The indicator measures the meanness of the market - its tendency to revert to the mean after pretending to start a trend. If that happens too often, all trend following systems will bite the dust.
