Content and Overview

This practical course contains 46 lectures and 7 hours of content. It’s designed for all stock technical analysis knowledge levels and a basic understanding of R statistical software is useful but not required.

At first, you’ll learn how to read or download S&P 500® Index ETF prices historical data to perform technical analysis operations by installing related packages and running script code on RStudio IDE. 

Next, you’ll calculate lagging stock technical indicators such as simple moving averages (SMA), exponential moving averages (EMA), Bollinger bands (BB), parabolic stop and reverse (SAR). After that, you’ll compute leading stock technical indicators such as average directional movement index (ADX), commodity channel index (CCI), moving averages convergence/divergence (MACD), rate of change (ROC), relative strength index (RSI), stochastic momentum index (SMI) and Williams %R.

Then, you’ll define single technical indicator based stock trading openings through price, double, bands, centerline and signal crossovers. Next, you’ll determine multiple technical indicators based trading opportunities through price crossovers which need to be confirmed by second technical indicator band crossover. Later, you’ll give shape to long-only stock trading strategies using single or multiple technical indicators trading occasions.

Finally, you’ll evaluate stock trading strategies performance with buy and hold as initial benchmark and comparing their annualized return for performance, annualized standard deviation for volatility or risk and annualized Sharpe ratio for risk adjusted return.

• Undergraduates or postgraduates at any knowledge level who want to learn about stock technical analysis using R statistical software.
