ATR: High volatility as success factor for trading.

Recently, a relevant article has been published to the issue of the average true range (ATR) and a simple moving average (SMA) trading strategy in the International Journal of Recent Scientific Research (IJRSR), by Dr. Ulrich R. Deinwallner. Dr. Ulrich R. Deinwallner has published so far several articles regarding relevant research to investment strategies for U.S. stock markets. According to the findings in his current article, excess returns could be achieved, if high ATR values were selected, which means for a SMA(20), with 20 average number of days, that returns of 21.84% per month could be achieved. The returns were so high, because only during high volatile market phases SMA(20) trading rules were considered. During semi efficient market phases volatility can be higher, and high values for the ATR can be a form of selecting these equity market phases. Essentially, the Russel 2000 index exhibited (n = 967 until 1,099 trading days) during a time period of the past 20 years for this trading strategy, which also refers to circa 54 trading days per year for an investor. More can be learn to the risks and returns from the open-access article in the IJRSR published by Dr. Ulrich R. Deinwallner.
