In the 2005 study, "Does Trend Following Work on Stocks" Cole Wilcox and Eric
Crittenden investigated whether or not it was possible to employ trend following strategies that
had been successful on futures to the realm of stocks. Wilcox and Crittenden used a universe of
over 24,000 stocks spanning a time frame of 22 years. The data was adjusted for corporate
actions, such as dividend payments and stock splits. The data also included delisted companies
to account for survivorship bias. To avoid stocks that would be illiquid, they applied a minimum
daily liquidity filter.
