MSR’s trading model, the Quantitative Directional Program, evaluates multiple return distributions over a variety of time frames. This evaluation results in an optimal daily trading position, given forecasts of probability based forward return distributions. The time horizon for this assessment can range from one week to one month, although actual trading positions may be much shorter in dura- tion. Additionally, the Program incorporates an intraday ‘break-out’ trading model that attempts to mitigate losses when there are large intraday price changes.
