本研究採取成對母體平均數差異t檢定對樣本測試結果進行分析,以Excel VBA 進行回溯測試研究。主要探討於台指期貨市場使用ATR停損策略、固定天數停損策略、N天低價停損策略、百分比停損策略與買入持有策略之投資績效的影響,所採取的樣本資料為2006年1月2日至2013年11月7日近八年度之台指期貨日資料,資料來源為台灣證券交易所,共採集1951筆資料。在回溯測試前將日資料進行連續化處理,進而篩選出符合標準的資料。 研究結果發現,第一部份於樣本資料期間內,利用四種停損策略與買入持有策略之績效進行比較時,買入持有策略均優於固定天數停損策略與ATR停損策略,N天低價停損策略與百分比停損策略之績效其統計結果均不顯著。第二部份將研究期間縮短至2008年金融海嘯後至2011年歐債危機前,可以發現在完整的多空頭時期買入持有策略均優於四種停損策略。第三部份為探討多頭期間與空頭期間是否會影響停損策略與買入持有策略之績效,結果顯示多頭期間買入持有策略均優於停損策略,空頭期間停損策略均優於買入持有策略。 根據本研究結果,於台指期貨市場中,若以績效為指標的情況下,四種停損策略績效並沒有優於買入持有績效。換句話說,這四種停損策略運用在台指期貨市場上,其效果並沒有我們想像中的好。
