Abstract: The study is conducted with the objectives of i)To identify impact of time frame and technical
indicators in making profit from all nine currency pairs in the foreign exchange market and ii)To assess the
Time frame and technical indicators in determining the risk adjusted returns from trading currency pairs.
Time frame is an important aspect for generating risk adjusted returns from currency pairs traded in foreign
exchange market. Role of technical indicators is also important in determining the risk adjusted returns from
trading currency pairs. Trading foreign currency pairs using leading indicators can generate high risk
adjusted returns but risk associated in trading with these indicators is also high when compared to that of
lagging technical indicators.

movements is considered for seventeen emerging
markets, sampled from January 1986 to September
2003. Some of the trading rules considered generated
significant returns; this information could be
exploited profitably on occasion. Market conditions
and trading volume are found to be important to
determine the usefulness of technical trading rules.
Gehrig and Menkhoff (2006) surveyed that the use of
technical analysis by considering flow analysis as a
third form of information production. Moreover, the
survey covers Forex dealers and also the rising fund
managers. Technical analysis has gained importance
over time and is now the most equally spread kind of
analysis. It has by far the greatest importance in
foreign exchange dealing and is second in fund
management. Charts are used for shorter-term
forecasting horizons while flows dominate at the
shortest-term and fundamentals at longer horizons.
Yin-Wong Cheung et al. (2004) summarized the
results of a survey of UK-based foreign exchange
dealers conducted in 1998. It addressed topics in
three main areas: the microeconomic operation of the
foreign exchange market; the beliefs of dealers
regarding the importance, or otherwise, of observable
macroeconomic fundamental factors in affecting
exchange rates; microstructure factors in Forex.
Market norms and behavioral phenomena are very
strong in the Forex market. Arnaldo Aliveria (2003)
discussed the use of fundamental and technical
analysis in investing theories. In this paper he
discussed about the strategies used by investment
professionals in asset valuation; Basis of the theory
of games and economic behavior; Information on the
firm-foundation theory; details on the concept of
intrinsic value and its importance for evaluating an
investment. Bernd Lucke (2003) focused on the
prominent
head-and-shoulder
pattern as
a
representative trading rule which incorporates various
technical ideas such as smoothened trends, trend
reversal, resistance levels, and volatility clustering.
For various combinations of the building blocks of
head - and shoulder definitions the results was
generally negative. Returns to head-and-shoulder
rules were not significantly positive - and if there was
any evidence for non-zero returns at all, then it was
evidence for negative returns. Carol (2003) explained
clustering in currency stop-loss and takes profit orders,
and uses that clustering to provide an explanation for two
familiar predictions from technical analysis: (1) trends
tend to reverse course at predictable support and
resistance levels, and (2) trends tend to be unusually rapid
after rates cross such levels. Bang Nam jeon and
Euiseong Lee (2002) found international policy
coordinations during the late 1980s have affected
across-country market efficiency by introducing
All Rights Reserved 2016 IJORAT

common stochastic trends in the system of the seven


major foreign exchange markets during the period of
the policy implementation, but the market
inefficiency did not last long. Carol (2000) concluded
that consistent with the markets conventional
wisdom, exchange rates bounced quite a bit more
frequently after hitting published support and
resistance levels than they would have by chance.
Exchange rates bounced off arbitrary support and
resistance levels 56.2% of the time on average. By
contrast, they bounced off the published levels 60.8%
of the time on average. They found that in all sixteen
firm-currency pairs, average bounce frequencies for
published levels (across the entire sample period)
exceeded average bounce frequencies for artificial
levels. Yu-Hon Lui and David Mole (1998) found that
more than 85% of respondents rely on both
fundamental and technical analyses for predicting
future rate movements at different time horizons. At
shorter horizons, there exist a skew towards reliance
on technical analysis a skew becomes steadily reversed
as the length of horizons considered is extended.
Technical analysis is considered slightly more useful
in forecasting trends than fundamental analysis, but
significantly more useful in predicting turning points.
In the technical analysis, moving average and/or other
trend systems are the most useful technical technique.
Helen Allen and Mark (1990) perceived importance
and nature of chartist or technical analysis in the
London foreign exchange market. If noise traders are
defined as those speculators who do not base their
trading strategies on a consideration of market
fundamentals, then it clearly encompasses those
traders who employ chart analysis i.e., those who
base their strategies on the analysis and extrapolation
of past price movement alone.

III. OBJECTIVES
1. To identify impact of time frame and
technical indicators in making profit from all nine
currency pairs in the foreign exchange market.
2. To assess the Time frame and technical
indicators in determining the risk adjusted returns
from trading currency pairs
A. Risk Adjusted Return of EURUSD currency
pair
TABLE I shows the Sharpe ratio for trading
in EURUSD currency pair in different time frame
with various technical indicators.
As shown in the table the Sharpe ratio is
higher for trading this currency pair in 15 minutes
times with RSI indicator. Similarly, Sharpe ratio is
9

Vol. 1, Issue 5, MAY 2016

high for trading in 15 minutes time duration with


Stochastic Oscillator and Momentum indicators.
This shows that trading this currency pair in 15
minutes times with RSI, Stochastic Oscillator and
Momentum indicators generates high risk adjusted
returns when compared to trading in other time
duration with these three leading indicators.
However, Sharpe ratio is high for trading in 30
minutes time duration with other two leading
indicators, viz., CCI and Williams %R. To sum up,
when all the five leading indicators are used for
trading EURUSD currency pair in 30 minutes time
duration, the traders are likely to get high risk
adjusted returns.

Regarding lagging indicators, trading with


Bollinger Bands and MACD in 1 hour time duration,
and Parabolic SAR in 15 minutes time duration is
likely to generate high risk adjusted returns when
compared to trading this currency pair in other time
duration with these indicators. To sum up, using
these three lagging indicators interchangeably for
trading EURUSD currency pair in 1 hour time, the
traders get more risk adjusted return. On the whole,
with all the eight indicators, the trading this currency
pair in 15 minutes and 30 minutes time duration
could generate high risk adjusted return.
B. Risk Adjusted Return of GBPUSD currency
pair
The Sharpe ratios for trading GBPUSD
currency pair in various time frames using 5 leading
and 3 lagging technical indicators produced by FSB
software are reported in TABLE 2. According to the
table, the Sharpe ratios for trading GBPUSD
currency pair in 4 hours time frame with RSI, CCI
and Williams %R indicators and ratios for trading in
15 minutes time frame with Stochastic Oscillator and
Momentum indicators are high. In respect of using
all leading indicators, the Share ratio is found to be
high if the currency pair is traded in 4 hours time
frame.

Out of three lagging indicators, the Sharpe


ratio is high for GBPUSD when trading is done in 4
hours time frame with Bollinger Bands, in 30 minutes
followed by 15 minutes time frame with Parabolic
SAR and trading in 5 minutes time frame with
MACD indicators. With all three lagging indicators,
the Sharpe ratio is high if the currency pair is traded
in 1 hour time frame followed by5 minutes time
frame. Precisely, it is found that trading GBPUSD
currency pair in 4 hours time frame generates high
risk adjusted return with 5 leading and 3 lagging
technical indicators.

Table 3 presents the Sharpe ratio for trading


USDCHF currency pair in 5 different time frames
across 5 leading and 3 leading technical indicators.
As presented in the table, the Sharpe ratio is
high when this currency pair is traded using RSI and
Stochastic Oscillator indicators in 1 hour time frame,
CCI indicator in 15 minutes and 1 hour time frames,
Williams %R and Momentum indicators in 4 hours
time frame. With all five leading indicators, the
Sharpe ratio is high if this currency pair is traded in 1
hour time frame. Similarly, the Sharpe ratio is high
for trading USDCHF currency pair in 4 hours time
frame with Bollinger Bands and MACD indicator, 1
hour frame with Parabolic SAR. With all three
lagging indicators, the Sharpe ratio is high when this
currency pair is traded in 1 hour followed by 4 hours
time frame. Overall, with all eight technical
indicators, the Sharpe ratio is high for trading in 1
hour time frame.
In sum, it is found that risk adjusted return
from trading USDCHF currency pair is high with all
indicators in larger time frame (1 hour and 4 hours).
That is, better risk adjusted returns are associated
with longer time frames if the USDCHF currency
pair is traded using all selected technical indicators.

D. Risk Adjusted Return of USDJPY currency


pair
The status of risk adjusted return based on
Sharpe ratio for USDJPY currency pair is analyzed
and the results of the analysis are provided in Table
4. As provided in the table, using RSI in 4 hours
time frame, Stochastic Oscillator and CCI in 30
minutes time frame, Williams %R and Momentum in
15 minutes time frame have yielded high risk
adjusted returns from trading USDJPY currency pair
(Sharpe ratio is high). With all the five leading
technical indicators, there is no much difference in
the risk adjusted returns in all time frames. As far as
the lagging indicators are concerned, using Bollinger
Bands in 1 hour time frame, Parabolic SAR in 15
minutes time frame and MACD in 5 minutes time
frame have generated high risk adjusted returns from
trading this currency pair. With all three lagging
indicators, trading this currency pair in 30 minutes
time frame have generated high risk adjusted returns.

It can be seen from Table 5 that trading of


AUDUSD currency pair in 30 minutes and 1 hour
time frames with RSI indicator, 15 minutes time
frame with Stochastic Oscillator and Willams %R
indicator, 30 minutes time frame with CCI and
Momentum indicators have generated high risk
adjusted returns compared to that trading this
currency pair in other time frame with these
indicators. When all five leading indicators are
interchangeably used, this risk adjusted return is high
if traded in 1 hour and 30 minutes time frames.
Trading this currency pair with Momentum in 30
Minutes and Parabolic SAR in 1 hour have generated
high risk adjusted returns. The risk adjusted returns
are high if trading is carried out in 1 hour time frame
with all the three lagging indicators. When all eight
technical indicators are interchangeably used,
generation of risk adjusted returns tend to be high in
1 hour time frame followed by 30 minutes and 15
minutes time frame. Overall, it is found that the
traders are likely to get high risk adjusted return
when they trade this currency pair using all eight
technical indicators in 30 minutes to 1 hour time
frames.
E. Risk Adjusted Return of EURGBP currency
pair
Table 6 shows the Sharpe ratio of EURGBP
currency pair for trading with 5 leading and 3 lagging
technical indicators in five different time frames. As
shown in the table, trading this currency pair with
RSI indicator in 1 hour time frame, Stochastic
Oscillator in 4 hours time frame, CCI in 5 minutes
time frame, Williams %R in 1 hour time frame and
with Momentum indicator in 5 minutes time frame
has generated high risk adjusted returns. With all the
five leading indicates, the trading EURGBP in 5
minutes time frame has generated high risk adjusted
returns.
All Rights Reserved 2016 IJORAT

If trading this currency pair with Bollinger


Bands in 5 minutes and 15 minutes time frame,
Parabolic SAR in 4 hours followed by 1 hour, 15
minutes and 5 minutes time frame and MACD in 5
minutes time frame generates high risk adjusted
returns. With all three lagging indicators, the
generated return in excess of risk free return is high
when the trading of EURGBP in 5 minutes time
frame.

From the table, it can be observed that trading


EURJPY in 4 hours time duration with RSI indicators, 15
minutes time duration with Stochastic Oscillator, 30
minutes time duration with CCI, 5 minutes time duration
with Williams %R and in 4 hours time frame with
Momentum indicator generates high risk adjusted returns
when compared to that of in other time frames relative to
various technical indicators. The risk adjusted returns, on
the average is high in 4 hours time frame for all five
leading indicators.
When trading this currency pair using Bollinger
Bands in 30 minutes followed by 15 minutes and 5
minutes time frame, Parabolic SAR in 15 minutes time
frame, MACD in 4 hours time frames is carried out, the
generation of risk adjusted returns is high. For trading in
15 minutes time frame, the risk adjusted returns is more
for all three lagging indicators. Risk adjusted returns is
high from trading EURJPY currency pair in 15 minutes
and substantial from trading this currency pair in other
time frames.

To know the risk adjusted returns from


trading of NZDUSD currency pair, the FSB software
is used to calculate Sharpe ratio for this currency pair
in
5 different time frames with eight various technical
indicators.
Table 8 provides the ratios. It can be seen
from the table that risk adjusted return is high from
trading this currency pair using RSI indicator in 1 hour
time frame, Stochastic Oscillator and CCI in 5 minutes
time frame, Williams %R and Momentum in 1 hour
time frame, generates high risk adjusted returns.
Trading in 1 hour time frame followed by 30
minutes and 5 minutes time frame have yielded high
risk adjusted return based on all five leading indicators.
Using MACD indicator for NZDUSD currency pair
generates high risk adjusted returns when trading is
carried out in 4 hours time frame followed by 5 minutes
and 1 hour time frames. Risk adjusted return is high
from trading this currency pair using Bollinger bands in
4 hours time frame and Parabolic SAR in 15 minutes
time frames.
On the whole, it is found that risk adjusted
returns is high if NZDUSD currency pair is traded
with all indicators in all time frames but it is higher
when trading in 1 hour followed by 5 minutes time
frames.

From standard deviation, it is however


apparent that it is high for USDCAD and then for

are highly volatile when trading is undertaken with
USDCAD and AUDUSD currency pairs. In sum, it
is concluded that the trading of USDCAD followed
by AUDUSD and GBPUSD currency pairs tend to
generate high risk adjusted returns but the return is
likely to exhibit high volatility for USDCAD and
AUDUSD currency pairs.

Hence, using CCI as technical indicators for


currency trading tend to yield high risk adjusted
returns. Next to CCI, using RSI also tend to generate
high risk adjusted returns from currency trading.
Therefore, it is found that role of technical indicators
in determining the risk adjusted returns from
currency pairs traded in foreign exchange market is
vital.
Table 5.30 reports the Sharpe Ratio by
indicators type, i.e., by leading and lagging technical
indicators.

This clearly indicates that trading of selected

generate high risk adjusted return. Hence, it is found
that time frame play an important role in determining
the risk adjusted returns from currency pairs traded in
foreign exchange market.

USDJPY, AUDUSD, EURGBP, EURJPY, NZDUSD,
USDCAD), five time frames (5 Minutes, 15 Minutes, 30
Minutes, 1 Hour and 4 Hours) and eight technical
indicates (5 leading indicators, viz., Relative Strength
Index RSI, Stochastic Oscillator, Commodity Channel
Index, Williams % R, Momentum, and 3 lagging
indicators such as Bollinger Bands, Parabolic SAR and
Moving Average Convergence Divergence MACD)
for making profit and getting risk-free return in World
FOREX (Foreign Exchange) Market.
From the results, it is understood that the net
profit is high in all time frames when the volatility is
high for all currency pairs in the foreign exchange
market. The trading profit on the average is more
with lagging indicator, Parabolic SAR followed by
leading indicator, RSI and Williams %R. However,
trading profit from currency pairs with Parabolic
SAR followed by RSI and Williams %R indicators
have been highly inconsistent compared to trading
currency pairs with other technical indicators.
Trading currency pairs using lagging indicators have
yielded slightly higher profit compared to trading
with currency pairs using leading indicators. In sum,
it is concluded that time frame and technical
indicators are the important aspects in making profit
from all nine currency pairs in the foreign exchange
market.
Regarding risk adjusted returns, it is
identified that that USDCAD currency pair followed
by AUDUSD and GBPUSD currency pairs are the
major currency pairs which generates high risk
adjusted returns in all time frames. However, the risk
adjusted returns tend to be high when all currency
pairs traded in 1 hour time frame. The USDCAD
followed by AUDUSD and GBPUSD are the major
currency pairs that tend to generate high risk adjusted
returns with most of the technical indicators. When
all selected currency pairs are together used in
trading, the generation of high risk adjusted return is
more likely if CCI technical indicator is used. The
trading of USDCAD followed by AUDUSD and
GBPUSD currency pairs tend to generate high risk
adjusted returns but such return is likely to exhibit
high volatility for USDCAD and AUDUSD currency
pairs.
Time frame is an important aspect for
generating risk adjusted returns from currency pairs

traded in foreign exchange market. Role of technical


indicators is also important in determining the risk
adjusted returns from trading currency pairs. Trading
foreign currency pairs using leading indicators can
generate high risk adjusted returns but risk associated
in trading with these indicators is also high when
compared to that of lagging technical indicators.
