Technical Trading: Is it still beating the foreign exchange market?
Academics from the University of Hong Kong and University of Warwick have carried out a large-scale investigation of technical trading rules in the foreign exchange market, using daily data over 45 years for 30 developed and emerging market currencies.
Employing a stepwise test to counter data-snooping bias and examining over 21,000 technical rules, they found evidence of substantial predictability and excess profitability in both developed and emerging currencies, measured against a variety of performance metrics.
