Methodology & Empirical Results

Page 14: A comparison of MA and RSI returns with exchange rate intervention Group Members: Zhang Duo A0075433 Tang Wai Hoh A0075413 Fan Li A0075376.

Methodology & Empirical Result

• Mean Annual Returns & Standard Deviation

• Hypothesis Testing t-statistic

• Sharpe Ratios

Page 15: A comparison of MA and RSI returns with exchange rate intervention Group Members: Zhang Duo A0075433 Tang Wai Hoh A0075413 Fan Li A0075376.

Mean Annual Returns

• Window widths for the study are 10-, 20-, 50- and 150- days.

• Daily returns:

• Removing interest rate differentials:

Total Returns

• Sum of daily returns:

• Average return from time 0 to T:

• Mean Annual Returns is computed by multiplying with the number of trading days.

Hypothesis Testing• Let μ and σ be the mean and standard deviation

of the daily returns respectively.

• Sample mean:

• Hypothesis H0 : μ = 0 vs H1: μ ≠ 0 tested using.

- Efficient market with no arbitrage has a mean zero.

• S = sample standard deviation

measure of the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of risk in an investment asset or a trading strategy

Statistic terms in the Tables

• Obs. : number of observations.

• Mean : mean annual return in percentage.

• Std (daily returns) : standard deviation of the daily returns.

• t-stat : t-statistic value.

• P-value : tail probability generated by the observed test statistic under the null hypothesis.

Current Challenges

• Quotation data other than Yahoo Finance

• How to store the data/dates at the crossover

points and then to do the return analysis

(mean, std, t-stat, P-value, Sharpe ratios)

• Obstacles in getting information regarding

government interventions and interest rate

Page 29: A comparison of MA and RSI returns with exchange rate intervention Group Members: Zhang Duo A0075433 Tang Wai Hoh A0075413 Fan Li A0075376.

Further Exploration

• Simulate results under Panel A & C (Domestic/Foreign interest rates & GOV

interventions)

• Introducing other MA model (i.e. EMA)

• Include transaction cost

• Include two more bounds for RSI a) >70 – overbought - SELLb) <30 – oversold - BUY
