Returns

Understanding returns is paramount for every successful trader because, not only do you need them to understand various trading strategies and investment, but also to backtest your trading strategy.

Strategy BackTesting

Whilst strategy backtesting is not really a trading strategy or model, it is an essential element of every trading strategy. Learn to incorporate it into your trading before making any trading decisions.

Moving Average

The Moving Average model is a technical analysis tool that belongs to a body of models known as trend-following, meaning that it indicates the direction of stock price movement or trend.
