Abstract: | Using genetic programming techniques to find technical trading rules, the authors find strong evidence of economically significant out-of-sample excess returns to those rules for each of six exchange rates over the period 1981-1995. Further, when the dollar/Deutsche mark rules are allowed to determine trades in the other markets, there is significant improvement in performance in all cases, except for the Deutsche mark/yen. Betas calculated for the returns according to various benchmark portfolios provide no evidence that the returns to these rules are compensation for bearing systematic risk. |
