Compare backtests, and show why Stochastic trading rule is best based on backtests.

The task given was the following:

1. A UK based hedge fund has asked you to find a simple technical trading rule to manage

their position in one UK equity over the coming 1-2 years. The aim of the technical

trading rule is to outperform a simple buy-and hold strategy.

Typical clients of the fund are high net worth individuals and small investment funds.

2.Your Technical Expert (i.e. the Professor) will send you details of backtests of three

technical trading rules on this instrument, but no other information. Backtesting for 1274 and 604 days for each of the trading rule.

3. Based on these results,  have chosen Stochastic technical trading rule to manage the

fund position in the equity over the next two years.

4. What I ask to be done is the following, –
