Abstract

In this note we study whether simple technical trading rules are profitable on the three Baltic stock markets. To statistically assess our findings we consider the conventional t-test and a block-bootstrap procedure. The two evaluation methods give conflicting results. The t-test supports some of the rules, while the block-bootstrap does not.
