Abstract

The paper presents selected technical trading rules on the Polish stock market along with an estimate of the market’s profitability. Technical trading rules allow one to forecast changes to a stock price and identify buy and sell signals on Warsaw Stock Exchange. To do so, variable-length moving averages are applied to the main Polish stock indexes. To evaluate the economic effectiveness of the technical trading rules, t-statistics are used for testing the significance of the differences between average returns and the bootstrap techniques.
