    Active Portfolio Management Charting • Technical analysts are sometimes called chartists because they study records or charts of past stock-prices and trading volume, hoping to find patterns they can exploit to make a profit. • We examine next several specific charting strategies. Christos A. Ioannou 2/27 The Dow Theory • The Dow Theory, named after its creator Charles Dow (who established The Wall Street Journal), is the grandfather of most technical analysis. • The aim of the Dow theory is to identify long-term trends in stock market prices. • The two indicators used are the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJTA). The DJIA is the key indicator of underlying trends, while the DJTA usually serves as a check to confirm or reject that signal. Christos A. Ioannou 3/27 The Dow Theory (Cont.) The Dow theory posits three forces simultaneously affecting stock prices: 1 The primary trend is the long-term movement of prices, lasting from several months to several years. 2 Secondary or intermediate trends are caused by short-term deviations of prices from the underlying trend line. These deviations are eliminated via corrections when prices revert back to trend values. 3 Tertiary or minor trends are daily fluctuations of little importance. Christos A.

  • Top 7 Market Breadth Indicators for Day Traders
    Top 7 Market Breadth Indicators for Day Traders Day trading at the end of the day comes down to timing. Funny how the smaller the time frame you trade, the more accuracy is required of you the trader. I cannot tell you how many times I opened a position 5 minutes too soon or closed a minute early. We are literally talking about seconds here and the difference between a profitable or losing trade. To help improve timing, day traders will heavily rely on time and sales and level 2. However, understanding how the broad market is moving can help you stay on the right side of the market. For example, if you were long a stock in the Nikkei the night of the 2016 presidential election results came in with Trump as the winner, you were just blindsided. It wasn’t that you picked the wrong stock or anything. The Nikkei shot lower across the board due to the election results, only to rally by the close. Well, in this article we will cover these market breadth indicators and how you can use them to improve the accuracy of your trading. Top 7 Market Breadth Indicators for Day Traders It’s not an official TradingSim post if we do not provide a top 10 list. #1 – TICK Index The TICK Index is a measurement of the short-term bias of the overall market and is one of the most important tools for day trading. It measures the difference between the number of stocks on the NYSE that have registered an uptick versus the number of stocks that have registered a downtick.

  • Investing with Volume Analysis
    Praise for Investing with Volume Analysis “Investing with Volume Analysis is a compelling read on the critical role that changing volume patterns play on predicting stock price movement. As buyers and sellers vie for dominance over price, volume analysis is a divining rod of profitable insight, helping to focus the serious investor on where profit can be realized and risk avoided.” —Walter A. Row, III, CFA, Vice President, Portfolio Manager, Eaton Vance Management “In Investing with Volume Analysis, Buff builds a strong case for giving more attention to volume. This book gives a broad overview of volume diagnostic measures and includes several references to academic studies underpinning the importance of volume analysis. Maybe most importantly, it gives insight into the Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), an indicator Buff developed to more accurately gauge investor participation when moving averages reveal price trends. The reader will find out how to calculate the VPCI and how to use it to evaluate the health of existing trends.” —Dr. John Zietlow, D.B.A., CTP, Professor of Finance, Malone University (Canton, OH) “In Investing with Volume Analysis, the reader … should be prepared to discover a trove of new ground-breaking innovations and ideas for revolutionizing volume analysis. Whether it is his new Capital Weighted Volume, Trend Trust Indicator, or Anti-Volume Stop Loss method, Buff offers the reader new ideas and tools unavailable anywhere else.” —From the Foreword by Jerry E. Blythe, Market Analyst, President of Winthrop Associates, and Founder of Blythe Investment Counsel “Over the years, with all the advancements in computing power and analysis tools, one of the most important tools of analysis, volume, has been sadly neglected.

Profiting from Multiple Time Frame Sector Analysis 13 4. Volume Always Precedes Price 18 Get In and Out of Trades at the Right Time By Tom Aspray Technician Get In and Out of Trades at the Right Time Japanese rice traders have used technical analysis and candlestick charts since the 17th century. Many traders spend so much time trying to remember the often complex names given to the individual candle chart formations that they miss the trade. The different names often cause confusion as they are not able to determine whether they should be buying or selling. One of the simplest candle formations is the doji which is formed when the open and closing price are close to the same. In A Candle Trigger for Market Bottoms and A Candle Trigger for Market Tops I discuss the two very reliable doji trading setups John Person developed. After using candle charts for over 25 years I have found his method for generating doji-based buy or sell signals to be the most reliable candle chart setups I have ever encountered. I have stressed the importance of only buying stocks that are performing better than the S&P 500 for quite some time. For those who trade the short side of the market, choosing the stocks that are acting weaker than the S&P 500 is the best strategy.

  • The Boundaries of Technical Analysis Milton W
    The Boundaries of Technical Analysis Milton W. Berg, CFA 1 Market Prognostication In his treatise on stock market patterns, the late Professor Harry V. Roberts1 observed that “of all economic time series, the history of stock prices, both individual and aggregate, has probably been most widely and intensively studied,” and “patterns of technical analysis may be little if nothing more than a statistical artifact.”2 Ibbotson and Sinquefield maintain that historical stock price data cannot be used to predict daily, weekly or monthly percent changes in the market averages. However, they do claim the ability to predict in advance the probability that the market will move between +X% and -Y% over a specific period.3 Only to this very limited extent – forecasting the probabilities of return – can historical stock price movements be considered indicative of future price movements. In Chart 1, we present a histogram of the five-day rate of change (ROC) in the S&P 500 since 1928. The five-day ROC of stock prices has ranged from -27% to + 24%. This normal distribution4 is strong evidence that five-day changes in stock prices are effectively random. Out of 21,165 observations of five-day ROCs, there have been 138 declines exceeding -8%, (0.65% of total) and 150 gains greater than +8% (0.71% of total). Accordingly, Ibbotson and Sinquefield would maintain that over any given 5-day period, the probability of the S&P 500 gaining or losing 8% or more is 1.36%. Stated differently, the probabilities of the S&P 500 returning between -7.99% and +7.99% are 98.64%.

  • Information Spillover from VIX Options to VIX Futures: the Information Content of Put-Call Ratio and Implied Volatility Skew
    Stockholm School of Economics Department of Finance Master of Science in Finance Master Thesis - Double Degree Program Information Spillover from VIX Options to VIX Futures: the Information Content of Put-Call Ratio and Implied Volatility Skew Giorgio Magagnotti May 2016 Abstract: This paper investigates the predictive power of the information content of VIX options with respect to VIX futures. Two sub-samples of variables are used in the analysis: put-call ratios of daily option volumes and spreads among implied volatilities across different moneyness levels, derived from VIX options prices. The statistical significance and the forecasting accuracy of various predictive models are back-tested through the computation of one-day ahead out-of-sample forecasts, using both expanding and rolling estimation windows. Different statistical indicators are employed to identify the best performing models. The results indicate that put-call ratio and implied volatility skew variables possess predictive power with respect to VIX futures, and their combined inclusion improves the forecasting accuracy. Supervisor: Prof. Paolo Sodini Key words: VIX futures, VIX options, put-call ratio, implied volatility skew Aknowledgements I deeply thank my supervisor Prof. Paolo Sodini for his advices, support and supervision throughout all the steps of this work. I also owe my gratitude to Prof. Francesco Saita, for his interest in the topic, his mentoring and his patience. a Erica a Ivan 2 INDEX 1. INTRODUCTION 3 2. VIX INDEX, FUTURES AND OPTIONS 5 2.1.

Since there are many vairables inherent in day trading including the skill level of the individual trader, his or her ability to interpret Wizetrade charts, the direction of the market, the execution of the trader’s broker, and the trading characteristics of a particular stock, it must be assumed that there will be a range of success rates when applying any trading system. Foreword I had the pleasure of speaking about day trading at WizeFEST 2002. After the convention I prepared a small document addressing the subject of proxy Wizemen and have since received numerous phone calls and e-mails. First of all, there is obviously considerable interest in day trading. Sec- ondly, based upon the questions that I am asked over and over, traders want very specific answers to a multitude of questions. The purpose of this expanded publication is to answer many of these questions which I receive daily. It’s really a short course in day trading with Wizetrade, and it is my sincere desire to bring everyone up to speed in the art of day trading.
