The information for this test was published in the December 1996 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities. The test appears in the article "Combining Trend and Oscillator Signals" by Jeremy G. Konstenius. Mr. Konstenius describes a trading system that combines Linear Regression and Moving averages to generate trades.
