Abstract
This research project seeks to examine the relationship between momentum, stocks and options trading strategies. First, we examine a simple momentum trading strategy for stocks. These discussions are then extended and applied to options trading. Further, we explore how changes in economic conditions can cause trading performances to change from long-term averages and techniques that can be used to mitigate the impact of volatility and regime-shifts on trading performance.
