Abstract
In this paper a model of the exchange rate is developed from trading rules principles. The model is empirically implemented for the German Mark-US Dollar and US Dollar-UK Pound exchange rates using monthly data, over the period June 1978 to December 1982. In terms of forecasting performance and accuracy, the simple trading model is shown to outperform the forward foreign exchange rate.
