What are some technical indicators of stock fluctuations?

Question

What technical/ mathematical forumulae are there that predict how a stock will act?

Answer 1

There are more than you can imagin. There are literally hundreds of different indicators and theories...MACD, Moving averages, stoichists, chaiken money flow, A/D, on and on. I recomend going to Stockcharts.com. There you can get at least an idea of what I am saying. Also books by Martin Pring are a good start also.

Answer 2

The question assumes there are some indicators of stock fluctuations. The entire "science" is usually called "technical analysis". It has been heavily studied by mathematicians and academics for years (decades), nobel prize winners have studied it. The research has almost universally reached the same conclusion, that technical analysis considered as it's ability to predict stock prices is either impossible, or at least no one has demonstrated an ability to do it.

It's bunk, it's tea leaves, tarot cards, and astrology. It has not been mathematically proven impossible, but it has been shown that no one has publically shown a winning strategy (despite the countless brilliant minds that have attempted to find one).

Don't go down this path, it's been accepted as bunk in academia for 30 years (essentially since Buron Malkiel's book "A Random Walk Down Wall Street"). No one in 30 years has shown anything that would lead serious mathematicians to believe it remains anything but bunk.

Otherwise, have fun with the flat earth society.

That penny-percentage stuff is BS. It relies upon on paying for very low fee stocks and hoping they flow up vastly in fee. in reality a percentage costing 10 cents which rises via 10% is then well worth 11 cents. massive deal, you've made a penny. there is not any user-friendly thanks to make funds on the inventory market. each thing that declare there is user-friendly funds to be made are scams. which incorporates penny stocks.
