A System’s Approach to Investing in Uncertain Markets Louisiana State University

Design and develop a mixed economic & technical model to recognize the long-term trends of the stock market.

Propose timing algorithm for index-tracking ETFs such as QQQ, QLD, TNA, etc. (Both long and short positions)

Develop MATLAB software for the proposed timing algorithm.

Analyze risk using volatility and downside risk measures for the proposed model. Analyze risk-adjusted return

performance using Sharpe-Ratio, Modigliani Measure and Information Ratio.
