Time-Series Versus Cross-Sectional Momentum
Understand own-history direction, relative ranking, and why identical price changes can produce different momentum labels.
Lookback, Decision Frequency and Holding Period
Separate the history used to form a signal from its update schedule, delay and eventual duration.
Moving-Average Trend Rules Without the Mystery
Work through price-versus-mean and fast-versus-slow rules, including ties, warmup and sensitivity to window membership.
Signal Timing and Lookahead: Follow the Information Clock
Trace observation, publication, calculation and delayed use, with practical examples of leakage and missing-data traps.
Reversals and Whipsaw: What Changing Signals Actually Show
Distinguish persistent reversals from repeated threshold crossings, and measure state changes without inventing investment results.
