Do You Trade With Moving Averages?
Recently, we completed research that shows moving averages can be used as part of a strategy to find short-term, mean reversion trading opportunities. This may be surprising to some traders because it might seem odd to use a trend-following indicator like MAs in a short-term, mean reversion strategy.
This research was just published in our latest Connors Research Strategy Series Guidebook: Trading Stocks and Options with Moving Averages – A Quantified Approach.
As you will see throughout this Guidebook, the Quantified Moving Average Strategy has had large quantified edges when applied in a systematic manner.
