With The Name of Allah - The Most Merciful and The Most Beneficent.
In this new blog, I intend to present a coherent yet consistent method of betting in Indian Stock Indices. I have chosen three moving averages, as follows
- 5 period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Pivot Points (HLC/3)
- 20 period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Pivot Points (HLC/3)
- 8 period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the Lows
And two indicators, namely, On Balance Volume (OBV) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Though both are momentum indicators but an all out attempt would be made to avoid the problem of collinearity.
My further intention is to approach the following analysis as objectively as possible, keeping in mind and view the basic tenets of Skepticism, questioning the assumptions, analysis and conclusions, critically. The objective would be to avoid the common fallacies and psychological biases
I would use the 8 period EMA of Lows of the daily and weekly time-frames for finding turning points in the trend. The combination of 5 and 20 EMA would be used for finding the re entry points in the direction of the trend. OBV would be used to detect and confirm the bias; and MACD would be used to detect the momentum. I further intend to use two time-frames, that is, daily and weekly - daily for finding the trading opportunities and weekly to study the underlying short term trend.
Stock Prices tend to be random.
But Randomness is not the same as Haphazardness. Naturally occurring Random Phenomenon exhibit patterns such as trends, waves and certain geometrical and non geometrical formations with respect to time. Indicators based on Random Prices tend to exhibit their own patterns which are sometimes, and not always, easy to comprehend, that is the primary use of these indicators.
Question: "Earlier it was Quantitative Analysis and Statistical Research then you wrote about Predictive Analytics and Mathematical Research, now this switch to dark corner of Philosophy - where are you headed to?"
Answer: Enlightenment!
