AutoShare achieves simplicity by concentrating on the most popular and proven technical analysis techniques. In a recent book, The Encyclopedia of Technical Market Indicators, the authors performed a backtest on more than one hundred indicators for analysing the stock market, including Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, MACD, and RSI. They found that employing a particular moving average crossover technique that is a speciality of AutoShare, would have outperformed all other indicators when applied to the daily closing prices of the DJIA (the U.S. equivalent of the FTSE 100) over the period 1900 to 2001. It would have produced profits of 78 million percent better than buy-and-hold, turning $100 into $16 billion (assuming zero commission and tax, and full reinvestment of profits, the latter two easily achievable by trading shares through a Self-Select ISA, and not withdrawing profits). Many of the most popular indicators would have produced profits no better, and in some cases much worse, than a buy/hold strategy.
