ABSTRACT:
This article introduces a discrete false discovery rate (DFRD+/-) method for controlling data snooping. We investigate with DFRD+/- the performance of dynamic portfolios constructed upon over 21,000 technical trading rules on 12 categorical and country-specific markets over the study period 2004-2017. The profitability, persistence and robustness of the technical rules are examined. We note that frontier markets exhibit higher average yield compared to the developed and emerging markets. A cross-validation exercise highlights the importance of frequent rebalancing and the variability of profitability in trading with technical analysis.
