摘要
We evaluate the performance of sixteen technical trading indicators across stock portfolios from thirteen MENA country markets, using a back testing approach. The individual indicators are classified as either Trend, Momentum, Volatility, or Cycle indicators. Differences in performance of individual trading indicators are identified. Outcomes are most sensitive to trading frequency and time out of market. The results suggest that MENA stock markets differ in level of efficiency.
