Autonomous trading in the stock market is an area of great interest in both academic and commercial circles. A lot of trading strategies have been proposed and practiced from the perspectives of Artificial Intelligence, market making, external data indication, technical analysis etc., The advent of computer and inexpensive data has given everyone the ability to test their trading ideas. This paper examines some properties of a counter-intuitive automated stock-trading strategy in the context of the Penn-Lehman Automated Trading (PLAT) simulator, which is a real-time, real-data market simulator. While it might seem natural to buy when the market is on the rise and sell when it's on the declining, our strategy does exactly the opposite. As a result, we call it the reverse strategy. The reverse strategy was the winner strategy in the first and second PLAT live competitions. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the reverse strategy: in what kinds of market, it will make profits or lose money. Also, we suggest ways to control the risk of using the reverse strategy in certain kinds of markets.

Autonomous trading in the stock market is an area of
great interest in both academic and commercial
circles. A lot of trading strategies have been
proposed and practiced from the perspectives of
Artificial Intelligence, market making, external
data indication, technical analysis etc., The advent
of computer and inexpensive data has given everyone
the ability to test their trading ideas. This paper
examines some properties of a counter-intuitive
automated stock-trading strategy in the context of
the Penn-Lehman Automated Trading (PLAT) simulator,
which is a real-time, real-data market simulator.
While it might seem natural to buy when the market
is on the rise and sell when it's on the declining,
our strategy does exactly the opposite. As a result,
we call it the reverse strategy. The reverse
strategy was the winner strategy in the first and
second PLAT live competitions. In this paper, we
analyze the performance of the reverse strategy: in
what kinds of market, it will make profits or lose
money. Also, we suggest ways to control the risk of
using the reverse strategy in certain kinds of
markets.
