Trend Following
• A strategy that takes advantage the Up and Downs of Market
  Movement.
• Such Strategy will try to exploit price movements across all time
  frame.
• Remember that trend is subjective!
       – Daily time frame could be in an uptrend
       – 1 hour timeframe could be in a downtrend, during periods of consolidation
• Moving Averages and Chart Pattern breakouts are the most common
  combination in such strategy.
• Trend Following Strategy do not have a specific target level, instead
  it will track the trend until the opposite signal is triggered.
       – Example:
                 • MA 50 crosses above MA100, this is perceived to be a buy signal.
                 • Position will remain in place until MA 50 crosses below MA 100.
                 • This will close the original Buy position and Open a Sell order

• Especially in Forex Trading, where it is traded in Pair.
• Categorized as a statistical arbitrage and considered to be a type of
  convergence trading.
• This Strategy does not care if the market is in a trend or range
  bound.

Pairs Trading (example)

Pairs Trading (example)

• EUR/USD and USD/CHF are inversely correlated, i.e. they are mirror
  opposite of each other 97% of the times.
• There are periods where both EUR/USD and USD/CHF move in the
  same direction.
• In the example above EUR/USD remains the same, but USD/CHF
  gains
• Buy EUR/USD and SELL USD/CHF in a situation like the above.
• When the market correct itself USD/CHF will resume it’s downward
  movement and traders profit from the EUR/USD buy as well as
  USD/CHF sell.
• Position is essentially hedged until market correct itself.
• Normality does not exist until the above happens and profits yield.
       – Critical to identify when market condition changes
       – Humans are unable to be there all the time to monitor these changes

Scalping and Mean Reversion
•       Scalping and Mean Reversion are the basis to some of the Automated
        trading systems out there
•       Scalping is the act of opening a position and quickly closing it again to gain
        minimal returns within a short period of time ranging from seconds or
        minutes
•       Scalping strategy is mostly related to a Mean Reversion strategy.
•       Mean Reversion is the notion that once the market exceeds an average
        boundary, it will revers to normality.
•       Such Strategies requires indicator that have Standard Deviation as its
        component.
•       Bollinger bands is the most common Indicator used for these types of
        strategies.
•       Automated Trading are best suited for scalping as they can be programmed
        to close out the position with 1 pip. Humans are unable to simultaneously
        monitor multiple instruments and manual trading will take too long to close
        out the position

Back testing
• Methodology used in Automated Trading Development
• Running a strategy with past data, to judge how the program will
  perform
• Back testing is a useful tool to obtain information such as
   – What Instruments work best
   – What time frame the strategy works best
   – Fine Tune the strategy to get the best result
   – Hypothetical tests with the amount of capital required
   – Potential Losses and Gain attributed to the strategy
   – What market condition the strategy works in
                 • Sample data from Trending or Ranging Market
                 • Date Selection
                     – E.g. can the trading strategy survive another GFC?

Back testing
      CAUTION!

      – Back Testing alone is not reliable, Forward Testing must also be done
        with any Strategy before you flick the switch!
      – Over-Testing is a mistake!
      – Fine tuning a strategy to have a minimal drawdown and maximum profit
        normally does not work well in real world market condition.
      – Make sure your past data is accurate, Inaccurate past data has a huge
        impact on test results.
      – If you are happy with the results from Back and Forward testing, leave it
        as it is.
