By modeling skew to produce long and short entry points.
Function
The concept of skew comes from physics and statistics, and is used in market technical analysis to reflect the expectation of future stock price distribution. Because the return distribution of stocks in the trend market has skew (Skew), it is reasonable to judge the trend continuity according to the historical and current skew. It is precisely because the stock price rises that there is a skew. The greater the strength of the rise, the greater the angle of inclination and the greater the skew. The degree of this upward or downward slope in the statistical distribution of stock prices is defined as skew. Through the size of skew, we can know the direction, inertia and extent of the stock's rise or fall, and find stocks with a high probability of quick profit. The technical indicator introduced today is a simplified but effective stock price skew model used to generate buying and selling points.
The principle of this technical indicator is based on the success rate test results of different moving averages corresponding to different skews as follows:
10 trading cycles profit 5% success rate (%) 5 period moving average 10 period moving average 20 period moving average 30 period moving average 60 period moving average skew>=0 51.36 52.26 52.65 52.55 52.08 skew>=0.5 55.44 58.06 60.56 62.37 65.66 skew>=1 59.72 63.06 67.07 69.78 70.62 skew>=1.5 63.01 67.08 71.61 72.9 70.61 skew>=2 65.53 70.22 74.18 73.76 70.12 skew>=2.5 67.89 72.93 75.32 73.66 68.92 skew>=3 70.07 75.32 75.69 72.54 67.45 skew>=3.5 71.85 77.05 75.32 73.63 63.82 skew>=4 73.6 78.06 74.19 68.96 59.91 skew>=4.5 76.04 78.56 72.85 69.55 49.24 skew>=5 77.44 78.88 71.58 67.28 51.69 skew>=5.5 78.97 78.39 70.33 64.31 49.7 skew>=6 79.68 78.07 68.82 61.65 53.57 Table 1 As can be seen from the above table, with the increase of the 5-period and 10-period moving average skew values, the success rate is increasing, but after the 20- and 30-period moving average skew values increase to an upper bound, it shows a downward trend. When the skew of the 20-period and 30-period moving averages is greater than 0.5, the 10-period profit of 5% is above 60%, and when it is greater than 1.5, the success rate can reach above 70%. The larger the 5-period moving average skew, the higher the success rate, but often because the short-term skew is too large, the stock price has risen rapidly to a high level, and chasing up is risky, which is not suitable for the investment habits of most people, so prudent investors may like to do swings. Investors may wish to pay more attention to the skew of the 20-period and 30-period moving averages. Based on the above analysis, as a short-term trading enthusiast, I need to choose the 5-period and 10-period moving average skew, and consider the medium-term trend as a compromise, and I also need to consider the 20-period moving average skew. Finally, according to the principle of personal preference, I chose 3 groups of periods based on Fibonacci magic numbers: 3 periods, 8 periods, 21 periods, and skews that take into account both short-term and mid-line trends. So, I named this indicator number 3821 as a distinction.
Hi blackcat, I find this script to be quite accurate and useful for binary options trading. It is quite accurate, but being dynamic sometimes the signals appear and disappear, which is normal I suppose. In any case, it is a good tool to have in the binary options toolbox. Thank you for having created this excellent indicator.
