Intraday momentum

July 22nd, 2016, 8:04 am

Anyone familliar with intraday momentum? There's a heavily downloaded paper on it on SSRN; see Intraday Momentum: The First Half-Hour Return Predicts the Last Half-Hour Return.

I haven't found anything else on the web, except for a small description of the paper here (external link).

What's your take? Sensible intraday ETF trading strategy?

I tried replicating this strategy and it does well historically. However, in recent years I have not found it very effective. Probably, it has stopped working now.
