English Abstract

The present study aims to assess the performance of a trading strategy based on the prediction of stock price dynamics at the Casablanca Stock Exchange (CSE).

It is based on 10 years stock prices from 09/24/2004 to 09/25/2014.

The study consists first of studying the dynamics of stock prices at CSE, then identifying the adequate time series models (ARIMA/GARCH) to predict their behavior in the future.

Following that, a trading strategy based on the forecasts of returns is implemented and its performance assessed in comparison to the market (MASI and MADEX indexes).

The results of the study show that the stylized facts of returns apply in the case of CSE stocks returns and that there is a set of ARMA/GARCH models that can be used to capture the dynamics of the stocks returns.

The study also reveals that the trading strategy adopted is not adequate for the CSE and that its performance is very poor compared to the market.

This finding provides some insights regarding the choice of the trading strategy to consider for future research.
