Trends - Introduction

Originally this blog was going to be started at the stage of Technical analysis. But I realised before I began that section that I had actually started this experiment many months ago before I really knew what I was doing. Back then, I had a theory that there was some undefined truth behind the buying and selling of shares. Even before I had heard about technical analysis or fundamental analysis, I believed that everyone watching the ups and downs of these charts will be seeing the same thing as me and would be looking for the best time to get in to the market. It was the start of this experiment even if I didn't know it then.

In the beginning I used excel to perform a number of different calculations to work out what would happen based on a stock price trending up, down or sideways over a given time period. So I have given over the beginning of this blog to testing my trends theories for everyone to see.

In this section I will test these theories and work within the parameters we have set, but I will set additional rules so we can see if these basic almost neanderthal premises can have some substance in our experiment.

Even as I write this Excel is ticking away behind this screen. I can see from sudden flashes along my task bar that Excel is working. It is working to pull off the data I has asked it to, and soon enough I will be able to once again take up the figures and see if they will work for us in the days of post recession boom...
