The use of technical indicators in position trading of commodity futures
Fičura, Milan ; Musílek, Petr (advisor)
In this thesis I have tried to describe the basics of futures trading, technical analysis and trading system development. Particularly I have focused on technical indicators, where I have described the majority of those that are most often used for futures trading today. Further I have focused on trading system development and described the proces of backtesting, optimalization and evaluation of trading systems. In the practical part of this chapter I have developed 30 simple trading systems and then backtested them on the historical daily data of 10 commodity futures contracts during the years 2001-2010. To simulate a real trading conditions i have used the years 2001-2005 for optimalization and development, and the years 2006-2010 for backtesting and evaluation. The results were that most of the systems reached relatively good profits, but only low robustness and high riskiness. Also the contra-trend systems performed much worse in the second period than the trend-following systems. From the results i could reject the hypothesis that the yields of the systems (in the second period) are random on 0,1% level of significance. However, it can't be said surely, if the systems have "beat the market" (on risk-adjusted basis), because altrought their net returns were extraordinary, their riskiness was also very high.
