Predicting SARS-CoV-2 infection trend using technical analysis indicators Marino Paroli and Maria Isabella Sirinian Department of Clinical, Anesthesiologic and Cardiovascular Sciences, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy ABSTRACT COVID-19 pandemic is a global emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. Without efficacious drugs or vaccines, mass quarantine has been the main strategy adopted by governments to contain the virus spread. This has led to a significant reduction in the number of infected people and deaths and to a diminished pressure over the health care system. However, an economic depression is following due to the forced absence of worker from their job and to the closure of many productive activities. For these reasons, governments are lessening progressively the mass quarantine measures to avoid an economic catastrophe. Nevertheless, the reopening of firms and commercial activities might lead to a resurgence of infection. In the worst-case scenario, this might impose the return to strict lockdown measures. Epidemiological models are therefore necessary to forecast possible new infection outbreaks and to inform government to promptly adopt new containment measures. In this context, we tested here if technical analysis methods commonly used in the financial market might provide early signal of change in the direction of SARS-Cov-2 infection trend in Italy, a country which has been strongly hit by the pandemic.

  • Finance Feature
    finance feature by Douglas Carlsen, DDS Face it: dentists are competitive and compulsive. We have to be to perform the miracles of our daily work. When I tell the average person that tooth “preparation” is performed with a drill running at 400,000rpm on a moving target within 1/16 inch or less of the nerve 90 percent of the time, I often hear, “No wonder you guys scare me to death!” With that compulsive drive comes the idea that we can invest smarter than the average Joe. Yet, according to noted author Larry Swedroe: “…the purchase by investors of individ- ual stocks… would seem to be the ultimate in controlling your own portfolio. However, in pursuing this course, you create two problems. First, you likely cannot achieve the extensive diversification that the use of mutual funds accomplishes. Second, the evidence tells us that individual investors who select their own stocks underperform appropriate benchmarks by significant margins.”1 Financial planners who utilize academic-based strategy agree that individuals cause little damage by actively trading a small portion of the portfolio (five to 10 percent) as long as the great bulk of one’s investments are in passive index funds. Nevertheless, many doctors choose to actively trade a significant portion of their funds. Since many of you will or already have taken the trading plunge, let’s examine the basics, then hear comments from a dentist who has done well since 2001 with active trading. Active traders normally use fundamental analysis or technical analysis, and often both. 1. Larry Swedroe, Investment Mistakes Even Smart Investors Make, McGraw Hill, 2012, p.24.

  • Technical Analysis: Technical Indicators
    Chapter 2.3 Technical Analysis: Technical Indicators 0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: TECHNICAL INDICATORS Charts always have a story to tell. However, from time to time those charts may be speaking a language you do not understand and you may need some help from an interpreter. Technical indicators are the interpreters of the Forex market. They look at price information and translate it into simple, easy-to-read signals that can help you determine when to buy and when to sell a currency pair. Technical indicators are based on mathematical equations that produce a value that is then plotted on your chart. For example, a moving average calculates the average price of a currency pair in the past and plots a point on your chart. As your currency chart moves forward, the moving average plots new points based on the updated price information it has. Ultimately, the moving average gives you a smooth indication of which direction the currency pair is moving. 1 2 Each technical indicator provides unique information. You will find you will naturally gravitate toward specific technical indicators based on your TRENDING INDICATORS trading personality, but it is important to become familiar with all of the Trending indicators, as their name suggests, identify and follow the trend technical indicators at your disposal. of a currency pair. Forex traders make most of their money when currency pairs are trending. It is therefore crucial for you to be able to determine You should also be aware of the one weakness associated with technical when a currency pair is trending and when it is consolidating.

  • A Linear Process Approach to Short-Term Trading Using the VIX Index As a Sentiment Indicator
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 29 July 2021 Article A Linear Process Approach to Short-term Trading Using the VIX Index as a Sentiment Indicator Yawo Mamoua Kobara 1,‡ , Cemre Pehlivanoglu 2,‡* and Okechukwu Joshua Okigbo 3,‡ 1 Western University; [email protected] 2 Cidel Financial Services; [email protected] 3 WorldQuant University; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] ‡ These authors contributed equally to this work. 1 Abstract: One of the key challenges of stock trading is the stock prices follow a random walk 2 process, which is a special case of a stochastic process, and are highly sensitive to new information. 3 A random walk process is difficult to predict in the short-term. Many linear process models that 4 are being used to predict financial time series are structural models that provide an important 5 decision boundary, albeit not adequately considering the correlation or causal effect of market 6 sentiment on stock prices. This research seeks to increase the predictive capability of linear process 7 models using the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) and the CBOE Volatility (VIX) Index as a proxy for 8 market sentiment. Three econometric models are considered to forecast SPY prices: (i) Auto 9 Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), (ii) Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional 10 Heteroskedasticity (GARCH), and (iii) Vector Autoregression (VAR). These models are integrated 11 into two technical indicators, Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Convergence Divergence 12 (MACD), focusing on forecast performance. The profitability of various algorithmic trading 13 strategies are compared based on a combination of these two indicators.

Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. With the rapid development of the fnancial market, many professional traders use technical indicators to analyze the stock market. As one of these technical indicators, moving average convergence divergence (MACD) is widely applied by many investors. MACD is a momentum indicator derived from the exponential moving average (EMA) or exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), which reacts more signifcantly to recent price changes than the simple moving average (SMA). Traders fnd the analysis of 12- and 26-day EMA very useful and insightful for determining buy-and-sell points. Te purpose of this study is to develop an efective method for predicting the stock price trend. Typically, the traditional EMA is calculated using a fxed weight; however, in this study, we use a changing weight based on the historical volatility. We denote the historical volatility index as HVIX and the new MACD as MACD-HVIX. We test the stability of MACD-HVIX and compare it with that of MACD.

The VIX Index is updated on a continuous basis and offers a picture of the expected market volatility in the S&P 500 during the next 30 days. The VIX Index was first introduced in 1993 and a second version was introduced in 2003 and is still in use today. VIX is also commonly known as the “fear index,” since volatility and the VIX index tend to rise during times that the S&P 500 is falling. Therefore, the VIX Index is said to measure the amount of fear or complacency in the market. Many analysts suggest that VIX is a predictive measure of market risk and future market action since this index is traded by some of the most professional traders in the world. However, there is also a large school of thought that suggests that VIX is a trailing indicator and so not suitable for attempts at market timing.

  • Bear Trap –
    Bear Trap – Best Strategies to Profit from Short Squeezes Have you ever felt the devastating market force of a bear trap? The all but certain bullish trend stops abruptly and a trend reversal begins. Then you say, “Hey, let’s catch that drop!” and you short-sell the equity. Suddenly, the price does a rapid jump contrary to your trade! What a shame! Have you ever felt that? I bet you have. This is what traders call “The Bear Trap”. In this article, we will cover the inner workings of a bear trap and how to avoid falling into one. Bear Trap Definition A bear trap occurs when shorts take on a position when a stock is breaking down, only to have the stock reverse and shoot higher. This counter move produces a trap and often leads to sharp rallies. Bear Trap Setup The bear trap chart pattern is a very basic setup. You will want a recent range to be broken to the downside with preferably high volume. The stock will need to get back above support within 5 candlestick bars, then explode out of the top of the range. The last component of the setup is that the stock should have a decent price range. A wide price range is critical, as it increases the odds that the stock will have room to trend in order to book quick profits. Why do Bear Traps produce sharp rallies? The first wave of buying will occur when the most recent swing high is exceeded, due to the number of shorter term traders who have their stops slightly above the most recent swing high.

The MACD-Histogram (MACDH) can be derived from MACD as a second-order trading signal of price actions. To reduce the lagging effects in MACD&MACDH, forecasted values are introduced in a hybrid trading signal, termed as the forecasted MACDH. A detailed trading simulation is performed for a single stock/commodity under a single long-short-MACD parameter of different timeframes of charts is taken into consideration to explain the experimental design. In the Stock Market, Commodity Market, Forex Market all over the World this concept of Histograms can be applied. MACD Histogram is actually a value that can be positive or negative according that value a bar is plotted on the MACD Technical Indicator. This MACD Histogram gives the answer to what will be the movement of the market in future and according to that the investor or trader can take decision on Buy/Sell or Long/Short.

Its 1QFY21 results – with revenue of RM269m (+8% QoQ; +27% YoY) and core net profit of RM26m (-5% QoQ; +1% YoY) – were below expectations, affected by margin squeeze mainly due to elevated steel costs. • Still, looking ahead, consensus is expecting KERJAYA’s net profit to grow by 39% and 28% to RM125m and RM161m in FY21 and FY22, respectively. This translates to forward PERs of 12.2x this year and 9.5x next year respectively, compared to the 5-year historical mean of 12.3x. • Technically speaking, from a peak of RM1.53 in mid-April, the stock fell (likely due to renewed fears of economic lockdowns) to as low as RM1.08. • Following which, in mid-May, the stock found support at the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of RM1.19.
