Use Markov chains to help you extract profits from DPZ, Akam, Docu

Using Markov Chain – A statistical framework for deciphering the probability that one event will move to another – Finance is not a new concept and is not being deployed effectively. In my research, I came across two papers by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, “Stock Market Analysis with Markov’s Approach” and “Stock Price Prediction Using Markov Chains: Evidence from the Iraq Stock Exchange” by Schmer University.

Conceptually, both papers attempt to decipher the usefulness of the Markov chain and predict future market trajectories. This will give you a compelling result. After all, this concept came from the Russian mathematician Andrei Markov, one of the most wonderful scientific minds and ideological leaders. Unfortunately, researchers from the aforementioned academic institutions extracted so that they can only be ignored by marginal performance metrics compared to coin toss.

Essentially, this issue focuses on the development of the “literal” Markov chain by which researchers are “literal.” One unit in the past determines one unit in the future. To be fair, KTH has conducted two previous studies featuring units, and the same question applies. Analysis simply captures isolated price actions without considering the underlying context or emotional regime.

In short, the input of academic papers is essentially Gaussian. So don’t be surprised if the output is also Gaussian. To generate a true Marcobian framework, the input must also be Markovian.

To achieve an appropriate framework, it is essential to apply the spirit of law, not the letter of law. My solution is to discretize the last 10 weeks of price action and separate the profile into clear, discrete states of action. In this way, we capture persistent actions, not just capture isolated price actions. This is an action that allows you to better predict outcomes based on the dynamics of the underlying situation.

Using a revised Markov chain optimized for the stock market, below are three statistically compelling ideas to consider this week.

Domino’s Pizza (DPZ) shares have risen nearly 8% so far this year, but have fallen almost 3% in the trailing month. Over the past two months, the DPZ stock price action can be converted as a “3-7-D” sequence. It involves a negative trajectory over 3 weeks, 7 weeks down, and 10 weeks.

Naturally, this conversion process compresses the price dynamism of DPZ into simple binary code. However, the advantage is that price actions can be distinguished as belonging to one of several clear and contingent demand profiles. These profiles then act as the backbone of past analogs, from which probabilistic analysis can be extracted.

For DPZ stocks, every time the 3-7-D sequence flashes, the following week’s price action (corresponding to Business Week starting July 7th) is a median return of 2.93%, with 61.54% hours. If the Bulls maintain control of the market for two weeks, investors can expect an additional 1.69% of their performance.

Using data from Bar Chart Premieryou can determine mathematically interesting options strategies based on the risk-to-reward ratio. In my opinion, the potential inverted signal of the 3-7-D sequence is 460/470 Bull Cole Spread Expired on July 18th.

Interested speculators can learn more about the capped reward structure here, with the bull spread’s upper limit risk.

Many leading financial experts make the trivial sayings, “Buy low, sell for high.” Yes, well, everyone is going to explain it. when How to buy at a low price? That’s the beauty of using Markov chains. Appropriate application can provide empirical guidelines to enhance the decision-making process.

As an example, let’s use Akamai Technology (Akam). Since the beginning of the year, Akam shares have fallen by almost 17%. Within the Marcobian framework, I really don’t care why it fell. That’s all, specifically how it was done. By observing past analogs of market behavior, we can determine the probability of how security will respond in the future.

Over the past 10 weeks, Akam Stock has printed a 4-6-D sequence. Since January 2019, this sequence has been realized 34 times. Additionally, 61.76% of cases resulted in the following week price action, with a median value of 2.65%. If the Bulls maintain two weeks of market control, they could potentially add 0.89% to 1% of their performance.

For a very aggressive yet reasonable transaction, speculators are 81/82 Bull Spread Expired on July 18th.

Another high-risk, high-reward idea is Docusign (Docu), a global provider of cloud-based software. Docu Stock has not fallen more than 12% this year since its opening game in January, so you can see if it will be lifting the charts. Again, I don’t really care why stock went down, the way it did.

Honestly, providing Docusign’s opinion is like summarizing yesterday’s newspaper. By the time you actually read the story, the story could be two days ago. I aim to provide empirically grounded Marcobian analysis rather than post-rationalization that governs the financial publishing ecosystem.

Back to Docu Stock, Security printed a relatively rare pattern, a 6-4-D sequence. Since January 2019, the sequence has been realized 17 times. 58.82% of cases, with the following week’s price action resulted in a median value of 3.57%. If the Bulls maintain control of the market for three weeks, traders may forecast an additional 2.24% of tack-on performance.

If you feel bold and want to throw double coverage for a big score chance, you 81/83 Bull Spread Expired on July 25th.
