Volume–price Trend
Volume–price trend (VPT) (sometimes price–volume trend) is a technical analysis In finance, technical analysis is an analysis methodology for analysing and forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. Behavioral economics and quantitative analysis use many of the sam ... indicator intended to relate price and volume in the stock market. VPT is based on a running cumulative volume that adds or subtracts a multiple of the percentage change in share price trend and current volume, depending upon the investment's upward or downward movements. Formula : \text = \text_\text + \text \times VPT total, i.e. the zero point, is arbitrary. Only the shape of the resulting indicator is used, not the actual level of the total. VPT is similar to on-balance volume (OBV), but where OBV takes volume just according to whether the close was higher or lower, VPT includes how much higher or lower it was. VPT is interpreted in similar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Technical Analysis
In finance, technical analysis is an analysis methodology for analysing and forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. Behavioral economics and quantitative analysis use many of the same tools of technical analysis, which, being an aspect of active management, stands in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory. The efficacy of both technical and fundamental analysis is disputed by the efficient-market hypothesis, which states that stock market prices are essentially unpredictable, and research on whether technical analysis offers any benefit has produced mixed results. History The principles of technical analysis are derived from hundreds of years of financial market data. Some aspects of technical analysis began to appear in Amsterdam-based merchant Joseph de la Vega's accounts of the Dutch financial markets in the 17th century. In Asia, technical analysis is said to be a method developed by Homma Munehisa duri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stock Market
A stock market, equity market, or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of stocks (also called shares), which represent ownership claims on businesses; these may include ''securities'' listed on a public stock exchange, as well as stock that is only traded privately, such as shares of private companies which are sold to investors through equity crowdfunding platforms. Investment is usually made with an investment strategy in mind. Size of the market The total market capitalization of all publicly traded securities worldwide rose from US$2.5 trillion in 1980 to US$93.7 trillion at the end of 2020. , there are 60 stock exchanges in the world. Of these, there are 16 exchanges with a market capitalization of $1 trillion or more, and they account for 87% of global market capitalization. Apart from the Australian Securities Exchange, these 16 exchanges are all in North America, Europe, or Asia. By country, the largest stock markets as of January 2022 are in th ...

On-balance Volume
On-balance volume (OBV) is a technical analysis indicator intended to relate price and volume in the stock market. OBV is based on a cumulative total volume. The formula : OBV = OBV_ + \left\{ \begin{matrix} volume & \mathrm{if}\ close > close_{prev} \\ 0 & \mathrm{if}\ close = close_{prev} \\ -volume & \mathrm{if}\ close < close_{prev} \end{matrix} \right. Because OBV is a cumulative result, the value of OBV depends upon the starting point of the calculation. Application Total for each day is assigned a positive or negative value depending on prices being higher or lower that day. A higher close results in the volume for that day to get a positive value, while a lower close results in negative value. So, when prices are going up, OBV should be going up too, and when prices make a new rally high, then OBV should ...[...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Money Flow Index
The money flow index (MFI) is an oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100. It is used to show the ''money flow'' (an approximation of the dollar value of a day's trading) over several days. The steps to calculate the money flow index over N days Step 1: Calculate the typical price The typical price for each day is the average of high price, the low price and the closing price. : typical\ price = Step 2: Calculate the positive and negative money flow The money flow for a certain day is typical price multiplied by volume on that day. : money\ flow = typical\ price \times volume The money flow is divided into positive and negative money flow. * Positive money flow is calculated by adding the money flow of all the days where the typical price is higher than the previous day's typical price. * Negative money flow is calculated by adding the money flow of all the days where the typical price is lower than the previous day's typical price. * If typical price is unchanged then tha ...

Accumulation/distribution Index
The accumulation/distribution line or accumulation/distribution index in the stock market, is a technical analysis indicator intended to relate price and volume, which supposedly acts as a leading indicator of price movements. Formula : CLV = This ranges from -1 when the close is the low of the day, to +1 when it's the high. For instance if the close is 3/4 the way up the range then CLV is +0.5. The accumulation/distribution index adds up volume multiplied by the CLV factor, i.e. : accdist = accdist_ + volume \times CLV The starting point for the acc/dist total, i.e. the zero point, is arbitrary, only the shape of the resulting indicator is used, not the actual level of the total. The name accumulation/distribution comes from the idea that during accumulation buyers are in control and the price will be bid up through the day, or will make a recovery if sold down, in either case more often finishing near the day's high than the low. The opposite applies during distribution ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
