Abstract

Momentum trading strategies are universally popular among investors and financial institutions. However, momentum trading is juvenile in China due to the lack of diversity in China’s derivatives market. This study examines the feasibility of momentum trading strategies in discretionary and systematic trading in the Chinese financial derivatives market. The research uses quantitative methods to implement the trading strategy: an algorithm based on relative strength indexes for foreign exchange forward trading, an algorithm combining moving average convergence and divergence with a 5-day moving average for commodities and derivatives trading and risk-parity weight assignment. In the 5-year backtest evaluation of systematic trading in the Chinese derivatives market, this approach yields satisfactory outcomes despite the exclusion of some practical factors. The study discovers that although momentum trading faces challenges from market incompleteness and a limited reservoir, momentum trading strategies in the Chinese derivatives market have great potentials. With the expansion of the Chinese derivatives market and more robust momentum trading strategies integrating advanced ones from the Western market, momentum trading in China embraces lots of opportunities.
