Volatility Estimator: Yang and Zhang (2000) range-based estimator, which replaces the traditional estimator (standard deviation of past daily returns) 2. Trading Rules: Trading positions takes a continuum of values between -1 and +1 to reflect the statistical strength of price trend, which replaces the traditional trading rules (binary +1 or -1 based on the sign of historical mean return) 3. Pairwise Correlations: Incorporate signed pairwise correlations in the weighing scheme of portfolio construction Reference: [1] Baltas, Nick and Kosowski, Robert, "Demystifying Time-Series Momentum Strategies: Volatility Estimators, Trading Rules and Pairwise Correlations", May 8, 2017.
