The Newedge Trend Indicator also posted another positive month, showing +1.83% for October, bringing 2014 YTD performance to +20.29%. Data from the Newedge Trend Indicator shows that both the bond and currency sectors were the main drivers of portfolio performance in October, with bonds contributing +2.70% and currencies +1.69%.
