Abstract:
Given that technical trading charts are publicly available on popular financial websites such as Bloomberg and MarketWatch, it stands to reason that the same technical trading approaches may be applied to cryptocurrency markets. One of these trading strategies is the variable length moving average (VMA), whose flexibility benefit has not been fully explored in prior research. To fill this gap, we evaluate Bitcoin futures using VMA trading rules and provide the results in a heatmap diagram. This approach allows investors to choose the most effective VMA rules, potentially leading to profits. Furthermore, our approach may shed new light on previously unexplored investment thinking and practices that have the potential to improve investment outcomes.
