  • Predicting SARS-Cov-2 Infection Trend Using Technical Analysis Indicators

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.

  • How High Can a Dead Cat Bounce?: Metaphor and the Hong Kong Stock Market
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 390 259 FL 023 436 AUTHOR Smith, Geoff P. TITLE How High Can a Dead Cat Bounce?: Metaphor and the Hong Kong Stock Market. REPORT NO ISSN-10-15-2059 PUB DATE Sep 95 NOTE 16p.; For complete volume, see FL 023 432. PUB fYPE Journal Articles (080) Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) JOURNAL CIT Hong Kong Papers in Linguistics and Language Teaching; v18 p43-57 Sep 1995 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Economics; English (Second Language); *English for Special Purposes; Foreign Countries; Learning Processes; *Media Research; *Metaphors; Symbols (Literary) IDENTIFIERS *Hong Kong; *Stock Market ABSTRACT This paper investigates metaphor in the language of economics, in particular, the way the vicissitudes of the Hong Kong financial markets are reported in the press. It analyzes the content from an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) perspective, probing for the significance in the negotiation of meaning in the subject area. Text samples were collected from the local Hong Kong media over 5 months in 1994. The perception of metaphor has changed in recent years from a rather obscure area of literary style to a central psycho-linguistic process intimately concerned with the way that reality is constructed through language. A number of subject domains are identified, including anthropomorphism, gravity, fauna, sports, and sentimentality. Findings suggest that metaphor is central to the definition of basic economic constructs; it has a role in making abstruse theoretical concepts accessible to readers or merely to interest or entertain. Metaphor functions here not only as a stylistir device, but is fundamental to the perceptions of both academics and professionals in the field.

  • How to Trade the Dead Cat Bounce
    How to Trade the Dead Cat Bounce In this article, we will cover how to trade the dead cat bounce pattern, which is often a trap for traders looking to get long. I will do a deep dive into how to trade the dead cat bounce pattern and the deadly consequences of timing your entry incorrectly. What is a Dead Cat Bounce? The dead cat bounce pattern is a chart phenomenon which occurs during bearish moves. Simply put, the dead cat bounce pattern is a long-awaited correction of a brutal bearish trend. Imagine a stock is in a strong downtrend. Naturally, there are a large number of short sellers in the stock. However, some traders might decide that the stock has reached its lowest possible point. These traders will look to close their short trades and some will even look to get long. This of course leads to more buying pressure and the stock finds its footing. After this short bounce, the stock will once again proceed in the direction of the primary trend, leading to a swift sell off. The below image depicts the dead cat bounce of Netflix. Dead Cat Bounce Above you are looking at the 3-minute chart of Netflix from June 20, 2016. The image displays a strong bearish trend, which started in the $95.80 range. In the blue ellipse, you see that the price increases shortly and then returns back to its bearish trajectory. The increase in the blue area is the dead cat bounce zone. As you see, “the Cat dies” first; then it hits the bottom and bounces higher.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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.
