Time Series Momentum: Definition
Definition
Past returns of a security predict future returns .
Characterized by serial correlation of returns.
If the returns over past n months were positive(negative) , it will be
positive(negative) for the next m months before a trend reversal occurs .
Direct test of random walk hypothesis .
4. Introduction Time Series Momentum Tests for Correlation Data and Methodology Flowchart Backtest Results Remarks
Why assets exhibit time series momentum ?
For futures, the persistence of roll returns.
The slow diffusion, analysis, and acceptance of new information.
The forced sales or purchases of assets of various type of funds.
Market manipulation by high-frequency traders.
5. Introduction Time Series Momentum Tests for Correlation Data and Methodology Flowchart Backtest Results Remarks
Correlation coefficient for two samples x, y is given by the well known formula
ρ(X, Y) =
Cov(X, Y)
Var(X)Var(Y)
.
In practice, we use the MATLAB routine corrcoef to obtain the p-value and the
correlation coefficient r.
The pair (X,Y) that has optimal correlation and minimum p-value is chosen as
lookback and holding period .
If the returns during lookback period were positive (negative) , long (short )
the asset for the duration specified by holding period .

Data and methodology
Strategy is tested and traded on three futures and Korean Bond .
Historical data is divided into two intervals , backtest window and live
trading window.
Test statistic is calculated on backtest data and is used as yardstick for
live trading .

Remarks
Higher correlation doesn’t mean higher returns .
TSMOM was successful on futures but not on Korean bond .
