In this research, we test whether common trading oscillators can outperform the buy-and-hold strategy (B&H) using six popular ETFs for the period of the last 20 years. We use the original setups of those oscillators and also other setups or oscillators combinations in order to achieve the best...

In today's complex financial markets, "Algorithmic Trading" has become very important. The study delves into the amalgamation of four pivotal indicators - Relative Strength Index (RSI), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and Moving Average...

We develop a portfolio trading strategy that aims to achieve optimal performance against arrival prices by minimizing market impact and risk. We first lay the groundwork by formulating a single-security trading strategy and then generalize the framework to the portfolio trading context....

We examine the effects of algorithmic trading (AT) on the US mutual fund industry and find that funds holding stocks with higher AT intensity have lower holdings returns and higher interim trading profits (return gap). This effect survives controls of effective spread and execution shortfall....

We assume that the drift in the returns of asset prices consists of an idiosyncratic component and a common component given by a co-integration factor. We analyze the optimal investment strategy for an agent who maximizes expected utility of wealth by dynamically trading in these assets. The...

We examine the effect of algorithmic trading (AT) on the US mutual fund performance and find that funds holding stocks with higher AT intensity have lower holdings return and higher interim trading profits as measured by return gap. This positive effect of AT on return gap survives controls of...

These working notes on algorithmic trading are designed as an introduction to the basic equations that govern the day-to-day trading of an investment portfolio to meet a predefined strategic asset allocation. The algebraic framework applies generally to long only and long/short strategies. It...
