A Computational Exploration of the Efficacy of Fibonacci Sequences in Technical Analysis and Trading
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among the vast assemblage of technical analysis tools, the ones based on Fibonacci recurrences in asset prices are relatively more scientific. In this paper, we review some of the popular technical analysis methodologies based on Fibonacci sequences and also advance a theoretical rationale as to why security prices may be seen to follow such sequences. We also analyse market data for an indicative empirical validation of the efficacy or otherwise of such sequences in predicting critical security price retracements that may be useful in constructing automated trading systems. c © 2006 Peking University Press

A Class of Convergent Series with Golden Ratio Based on Fibonacci Sequence
In this article, a class of convergent series based on Fibonacci sequence is introduced for which there is a golden ratio (i.e. $frac{1+sqrt 5}{2}),$ with respect to convergence analysis. A class of sequences are at first built using two consecutive numbers of Fibonacci sequence and, therefore, new sequences have been used in order to introduce a new class of series. All properties of the se...
متن کاملNon-Abelian Sequenceable Groups Involving ?-Covers
A non-abelian finite group is called sequenceable if for some positive integer , is -generated ( ) and there exist integers such that every element of is a term of the -step generalized Fibonacci sequence , , , . A remarkable application of this definition may be find on the study of random covers in the cryptography. The 2-step generalized sequences for the dihedral groups studi...
متن کاملToeplitz transforms of Fibonacci sequences
We introduce a matricial Toeplitz transform and prove that the Toeplitz transform of a second order recurrence sequence is another second order recurrence sequence. We investigate the injectivity of this transform and show how this distinguishes the Fibonacci sequence among other recurrence sequences. We then obtain new Fibonacci identities as an application of our transform.
متن کاملAnalyzing the Effectiveness of Candlestick Technical Trading Strategies in Foreign Exchange Market
Candlestick charts are a type of financial chart for tracking the movement of securities. Some of the earliest technical trading analysis was used to track prices of rice in the 18th century. Some investors find them more visually appealing than the standard bar charts and the price actions easier to interpret. In technical analysis, a candlestick pattern is a movement in prices shown graphical...
