There are already many Indicators and other tools for technical analysis in stock market. Some famous indicators such as SMA (Simple Moving Average), EMA (Exponential Moving Average), WMA (Weight Moving Average), VWMA (Volume Weight Moving Average), DEMA (moving averages), MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence), ADX (Average Di- reactional Movement Index), TDI (Trend Detection Index), Arun, VHF (trend indicators), stochastic, RSI (Relative Strength Index), SMI(Stochastic Momentum Index, volume indicators are also available for technical analysis. Here, we have used the LSTM Model to predict future price of some big companies of stock market in NSE.

Hence, investors get the right decision to buy or sell the stocks. Weighted Moving Average and Stochastic Oscillator are technical analysis indicators that investors often use due to their ease and accuracy predictions. This study combines the Stochastic Oscillator and Weight Moving Average (WMA) indicators to predict stock price movements in various industrial sectors during the 2015 to 2019 period and the first semester of the 2020 covid-19 pandemic outbreak in Indonesia.

Much research has examined performance or market efficiency by using the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) technical analysis tool. However, most tests fail to verify efficiency with the traditional parameter settings of 12, 26, and 9 days. This study confirms that applying the traditional model to Japan’s Nikkei 225 futures prices produces negative performance over the period of 2011–2019. Yet, it also finds that the MACD tool can earn significant positive returns when it uses optimized parameter values. This suggests that the Japanese market is not weak-form efficient in the sense that futures prices do not reflect all public information. Hence, the three parameters values of the MACD tool should be optimized for each market and this should take precedence over finding other strategies to reduce false trade signals. This study also tests which models are able to improve profitability by applying additional criteria to avoid false trade signals. From simulations using 19,456 different MACD models, we find that the number of models with improved performance resulting from these strategies is far greater for models with optimized parameter values than for models with non-optimized values. This approach has not been discussed in the existing literature.

With the rapid development of the financial 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 significantly to recent price changes than the simple moving average (SMA). Traders find the analysis of 12- and 26-day EMA very useful and insightful for determining buy-and-sell points. The purpose of this study is to develop an effective method for predicting the stock price trend. Typically, the traditional EMA is calculated using a fixed 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. Furthermore, the validity of the MACD-HVIX index is tested by using the trend recognition accuracy. We compare the accuracy between a MACD histogram and a MACD-HVIX histogram and find that the accuracy of using MACD-HVIX histogram is 55.55% higher than that of the MACD histogram when we use the buy-and-sell strategy. When we use the buy-and-hold strategy for 5 and 10 days, the prediction accuracy of MACD-HVIX is 33.33% and 12% higher than that of the traditional MACD strategy, respectively. We found that the new indicator is more stable. Therefore, the improved stock price forecasting model can predict the trend of stock prices and help investors augment their return in the stock market.
