Technical analysis (TA) is a form of analyzing market encompassing supply and demand of securities according to the study of their prices and trading volume. Using the appropriate methods, TA aims to identify price movements in the stock market, futures or currencies. In short, TA analysis is the process by which "future price movements are formulated according to the price history". TA originates from the work of Charles Dow and his conclusions about the global behavior of the market, as well as from Elliot Wave Theory. Dow did not regard its theory as a tool for stock market movement prediction, nor as a guide for investors, but as a kind of barometer of general market movements. The term TA methods encompasses all the methods used in tracking prices aiming to clearly predict future events. Many different methods, mainly statistical, are used in technical analysis, the most popular ones being: establishing and following trends using moving average, recognizing price momentum, calculating indicators and oscillators, as well as cycle analysis (structure indicators). It is also necessary to point out that TA is not a science in the true meaning of the term, and that methods it uses frequently deviate from the conventional manner of their use. The main advantage of these methods is their relative ease of use, aiming to give as clear picture as possible of price movements, while at the same time avoiding the use of complicated and complex mathematical methods. The reason for this is simple and is reflected in the dynamics of financial markets, where changes occur during short periods of time and where prompt decision-making is of vital importance.

Stock markets are always taken as the barometer of the economy. The price movement of their indices reflects every ups and downs of the economy. Although seem to be random, these price movements do follow a certain track which can be identified using appropriate tool over long range data. One such method is of Technical Analysis wherein future price trends are forecasted using past data. Momentum Oscillators are the important tools of technical analysis. The current paper aims to identify the previous price movements of sensex by using Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) tools and also aims to check whether these tools are appropriate in forecasting the price trends or not.

Stock Price Prediction

Predicting stock price of any stock is a challenging task because the Volatility of stock market the nature of stock price is dynamic, chaotic, noisy and sometimes totally unexpected. The other most difficult task is to analyze and decide financial time series data that improves investment returns and help in minimizing losses. Technical analysis is a method that help in analyzing a stock and predict its future price via evaluating securities. 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.

The implementation of tools such as Genetic Algorithms has not been exploited for asset price prediction despite their power, robustness, and potential application in the stock market. This paper aims to fill the gap existing in the literature on the use of Genetic Algorithms for predicting asset pricing of investment strategies into stock markets and investigate its advantages over its peers Buy & Hold and traditional technical analysis. The Genetic Algorithms strategy applied to the MACD was carried out in two different validation periods and sought to optimize the parameters that generate the buy-sell signals. The performance between the machine learning-based approach, technical analysis with the MACD and B&H was compared. The results suggest that it is possible to find optimal values of the technical indicator parameters that result in a higher return on investment through Genetic Algorithms, beating the traditional technical analysis and B&H by around 4%. This study offers a new insight for practitioners, traders, and finance researchers to take advantage of Genetic Algorithms for trading rules application in forecasting financial asset returns under a more efficient and robust methodology based on historical data analysis.

Fundamental and technical analysis is used by analysis to predict the trend ofstock price and trading volume. Studies conducted aimed to determine the effect of fundamental analysis to technical analysis. Combining two forms of analysis can produce a more accurate prediction of the stock price movement of listed cement companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange. Research experts indicate that the fundamental and technical analysis can be used independently with the ability to predict stock price movements. This study combines both analysis in a model that can provide a more robust predictive capability in the Company's share price movements of cement. Fundamental analysis is the economy wide scope, one of the predictions of financial performance. In this study the total asset turnover, return on assets and return on equityto determine which stocks are pretty good. While technical analysis is usedaccumulation distribution line that has a better ability to predict future stock prices because the data contained technical stock price and trading volume to determine when to buy and sell momentum. These results indicate that the total asset turnover, return on assets and return on equity significantly influence the accumulation distribution line. While the individual that the return on equity has no significant effect. The results of this study are expected to improve knowledge for the readers, especially investors in order to obtain optimal benefits.

Abstract We propose a single step estimator for the autoregressive and moving-average roots (without imposing causality or invertibility restrictions) of a nonstationary Fractional ARMA process. These estimators employ an efficient tapering procedure, which allows for a long memory component in the process, but avoid estimating the nonstationarity component, which can be stochastic and/or deterministic. After selecting automatically the order of the model, we robustly estimate the AR and MA roots for trading volume for the thirty stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index in the last decade. Two empirical results are found. First, there is strong evidence that stock market trading volume exhibits non-fundamentalness. Second, non-causality is more common than non-invertibility.

I present a model of stock market price fluctuations incorporating effects of share supply as a history-dependent function of previous purchases and share demand as a function of price deviation from moving averages. Price charts generated show intervals of oscillations switching amplitude and frequency suddenly in time, forming price and trading volume patterns well-known in market technical analysis. Ultimate price trends agree with traditional predictions for specific patterns. The consideration of dynamically evolving supply and demand in this model resolves the apparent contradiction with the Efficient Market Hypothesis: perceptions of imprecise equity values by a world of investors evolve over non-negligible periods of time, with dependence on price history.

Trading Volumes

Research background: When we start looking for tools that could give a trader a certain trading advantage, we will certainly come across the problem of analysing the trading volume. This is an advanced type of analysis where the primary price chart of the underlying asset is not analysed, but traders focus on the volume of trades that have been executed at certain price levels. Although it may seem like an innovative method, this type of analysis has been used for several decades. In our article, we elaborated the theoretical basis of the analysis of trading volume as a tool for predicting the movement of prices of financial instruments. Purpose of the article: The aim of our article is to explore the possibilities, methods and procedures of analysis of trading volumes and the possibilities of their use in maximizing earnings from trading of financial instruments. Methods: We used formal methods such as analysis and synthesis of theoretical findings and others. Findings & Value added: Based on the study of the analysis and synthesis of theoretical data, we identified and described the possibilities of using the analysis of trading volume in the process of predicting the price movements of financial instruments. We consider the aim of the article to be fulfilled and we believe that it will be a valuable contribution in the field of research on this issue.

Abstract Application of simple prescriptions of technical analysis on the Warsaw Exchange Market (GPW) has been analyzed using several stocks belonging to WIG20 group as examples. Only long positions have been considered. Three well-known technical-analysis indicators of the market have been investigated: the Donchian channels, the Relative Strength Index, and Moving Average Convergence-Divergence indicator. Optimal values of parameters of those indicators have been found by „brute force“ evaluation of (linear) returns. It has been found that trading based on both Donchian channels and Relative Strength Index easily outperform the „buy and hold“ strategy if supplied with optimal values of parameters. However, those optimal values are by now means universal in the sense that they depend on particular stocks, and are functions of time. The optimal management of capital in the stock market strongly depends on the time perspective of trading. Finally, it has been argued that the criticism of technical analysis which is often delivered by academic quantitative financial science is unjustified as based of false premises.

Technical analysis is an analysis that widely applied by the investor in the stock market. However, various corporate announcements could cause the market to react, and the most significant corporate announcement is the earnings announcement (1). Thus, this study examines the effectiveness of technical analysis signals around the earning announcements dates in Malaysian stock market. In doing so, this study applied and tested four technical indicators, namely Simple Moving Average (SMA), Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic (K line), and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) in Malaysian stock market. The sample of this study consisted of 30 largest capitalization companies from the main market of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (KLSE). Meanwhile, the sample period covered from 2nd January 2014 to 31st March 2016. This study found that Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) significantly produced higher returns as compared to the other technical indicator before the earning announcement dates in financial year 2014 and 2015. The combined indicator of MA-MACD also found to have higher return in financial year 2015. The findings conclude that the technical analysis signals can be used to generate returns before earning announcement dates.

Price Movements

Efficient market hypothesis implies that the past price movements do not help forecast future price movements. Thus, it is impossible to consistently benefit by a technical trading strategy. On the other hand, technical analysts claim that the historical price movements are useful in predicting future price movements. These two lines of arguments are mutually contradictory. This paper reasonably assumes that the more efficient markets are, the worse will be the investment performance of technical analysis, and that as financial market‘s trading volume grows and with the elapse of time, the efficiency of markets should improve. This implies that after the launch of a new financial asset, market efficiency would improve with increased trading and elapsed time. In this paper, the duration analysis technique is used as a forecasting model and applied to measure the efficiency of Korean futures market and the won/dollar exchange rate market.
