Fundamental Information in Technical Trading Strategies through a Combination of Operating cash flow with Contrarian and Momentum

Technical trading strategies assume that past price trends predict future ones. Their application may be profitable if the past trend reflects fundamental information that has not yet been fully priced. However, if the trend merely reflects temporary pricing pressures, technical trading will presumably fail. We argue that using financial statements as an additional source of information helps to avoid such failure. We implement a trading strategy that uses operating cash flows to identify enduring past price upturns and composite with momentum and contrarian strategy. In this study, using panel data, the impact of technical and fundamental strategies independently and in combination on stock returns 90 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange, in the period 1387 to 1392 were studied. For this purpose, the stock return as dependent variable and momentum, reverse and operating cash flow are considered as independent variables. The results show that due to the timing and strategies have been used to form portfolios, hybrid strategy is best returns.
