Turn Of The Month Trading Strategy (2023 Update)

The TOM Strategy is a well-documented strategy for trading indices such as the S&P 500 & FTSE 100. The idea is simply that the markets make greater than average positive moves from the last part of the month to the early part of the next month.

A common rule is go long at the close on the 5^th last trading day (T-4) & sell at the close of the 3^rd (T+3).

Many tests have been done over the years and it has be shown to give a positive return, often more favourable than a buy and hold strategy.
