Skewness and Kurtosis are statistical measures that provide insights about the shape of a distribution of returns. They are often used in finance, including stock return analyses, to understand the characteristics of the return distributions of different assets. Skewness: Skewness measures the asymmetry of a distribution. In the context of stock returns, a positive skewness indicates that the returns have a right-leaning distribution, which means there's a greater likelihood of large positive returns than negative ones. Conversely, a negative skewness indicates a left-leaning distribution, suggesting a greater likelihood of large negative returns. Kurtosis: Kurtosis measures the "tailedness" of a distribution.

This article covers the Relative Strength Index which is a popular technical analysis indicator that measures the magnitude and speed of price changes in an asset. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular technical analysis indicator used in investing and trading to measure the magnitude and speed of price changes in an asset. It is a momentum oscillator that measures the ratio of upward price movements to downward price movements over a specific period. The RSI indicator ranges from 0 to 100 and is typically calculated using a 14-day time frame. When the RSI is above 70, it indicates that the asset is overbought, meaning that the price may be due for a correction or a pullback. Conversely, when the RSI is below 30, it indicates that the asset is oversold, suggesting that the price may be due for a rebound or a rally. Traders and investors

This article will cover PercentR, also written as "%R", "Williams %", or "Williams %R" that is a technical analysis indicator used in investing and trading to identify overbought and oversold conditions in an asset's price chart. PercentR, also known as %R or Williams %R, is a technical analysis indicator used in investing and trading to identify overbought and oversold conditions in an asset's price chart. It was developed by Larry Williams and is similar to the Stochastic Oscillator. The PercentR indicator is based on the idea that an asset's price tends to close near its high during an uptrend, and near its low during a downtrend. The indicator measures the level of the asset's closing price relative to the range of its high and low prices over a specified time period, typically 14 days. The PercentR indicator is plotted on a scale from 0 to -100

This article will cover Fibonacci ratios and retracements that are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance in an asset's price chart, and Fibonacci extensions and time zones are used to project potential price targets and identify potential reversal points based on the length of time an asset's price takes to move from one significant low to another. Fibonacci is a mathematical sequence and a popular technical analysis tool used in investing and trading. The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc.). In investing and trading, Fibonacci ratios and retracements are used to identify potential areas of support and resistance in an asset's price chart. Fibonacci ratios are ratios derived from the Fibonacci sequence, such as 0.236, 0.382, 0.5

The Create tab's computational summary opens a position and tracks the stock every time a technical trigger is satisfied. That means when one trade is open, another can open simultaneously.

You can view the trade details for either section by clicking on the back-test summar tile: On the Create tab, that looks like this in the right hand column: On the Backtest tab, that looks like this: If you click either of the above tiles, a details dialog box will open to display every trade in the back-test:

This will cover one of the most widely used tools in technical analysis moving averages. In this article, we’ll briefly explain what a moving average is and how it can be used in technical analysis. What is a Moving Average? A moving average is a commonly used technical indicator that is used to smooth out price movements and filter out short-term noise in a financial market. It is calculated by averaging the closing prices of a security over a specific time period and plotting the result on a chart. The two most common types of moving averages are the simple moving average ( SMA ) and the exponential moving average ( EMA ). The SMA is calculated by adding up the closing prices of a security over a specific time period and dividing by the number of time periods. The EMA , on the other hand, gives greater weight to more recent

This is going to define and describe the use of adjusted close pricing and the applications within TradeMachine®. TradeMachine® Moving Average Calculations We use the adjusted close price for all of our moving average calculations with real-time data - which is a more nuanced approach that reflects what the stock is actually trading at today (taking into account corporate actions like dividends, stock splits, etc.). Many other services use the close price (unadjusted) or pick and choose which corporate actions to include in their adjusted close price which can cause discrepancies between our moving average calculations and theirs. We have a handy tool to make checking those moving average trigger conditions near end of day easier, you can find this on the “Create” tab by clicking “Show Pivot Points”.
