Several tests of market efficiency have been developed over the years. The very first test, constructed by Louis Bachelier in 1900, measured the probability of a number of consecutively positive or consecutively negative price changes, or “runs.” The randomness of runs is rejected with 95 percent statistical confidence whenever the plotted value is greater than 0....
Welcome to the second version of the BBLathe! This shows Bollinger Bands centered on a horizontal basis, to make it easier to see how volatility is changing and identify squeeze opportunities. By default Bollinger bands are calculated using an exponential moving average and an improved higher precision stdev implementation, but this can be disabled. Version 2...
I was curious to see what Pine uses to accumulate numbers. It looks like it uses the simple "add em up" approach, rather than a compensated summation. This means that especially for large numbers, there is an inherent error amount. This script implements the Kahan Summation Algorithm, also known as compensated summation. en.wikipedia.org This is part 2 of my...
While trying to figure out how to make the STDEV function use an exponential moving average instead of simple moving average , I discovered the builtin function doesn't really use either. Check it out, it's amazing how different the two-pass algorithm is from the builtin! Eventually I reverse-engineered and discovered that STDEV uses the Naiive algorithm and...
Each bar’s return against a volatility-adjusted baseline, as a standard deviation of the last 20 bars’ returns as per Adam H. Grimes SigmaSpikes(R). adamhgrimes.com www.marketlifetrading.com
Price Change as Standard Deviation Spikes Plots price changes scaled to daily StdDev for the period The Close price change is plotted as a thick bar coloured green for up close, red for down close The High price change is plotted as a thin bar coloured aqua The Low price change is plotted as a thin bar coloured orange Can be used to understand the statistical...
This is a price volatility compression and expansion indicator that uses the ratio of the Bollinger Band and Keltner Ratio. Red segments indicate extreme price volatility compression that can be ideal entry points for stock/futures/forex and/or options positions. Aqua segments indicate price volatility is expanding. Blue segments indicate price volatility is...
