2010 MTA Webinar
Trend Modes and Cycle Modes
Presented to the MTA in June 2010. It addresses one of the major problems in quantitative analysis - how to detect when to trade the trend and when to trade the cycle.
- Defines Trend Modes and Cycle Modes
- Explains the problem is how to identify the correct mode for trading
- Creates a simplified market model to facilitate analysis
- EasyLanguage code to measure cycle amplitude and trend slope
- Describes the Trend Vigor Indicator - with EasyLanguage code
