An Update of the Trading Model

TraderFeed will be taking a sabbatical during the month of October, with occasional postings on the market and on trading psychology. During the sabbatical, I'll be finishing a co-edited book on brief therapy and completing a personal project. That personal project will be a major subject during November's posts.

Over the October sabbatical, I'll also provide occasional updates of scores from my multivariate model, which I've revised to include a new measure of sentiment. That new measure views put volume and call volume as independent variables, rather than simply taking the ratio of the two. So we look for occasions when put volume is unusually high or low and the same for call volume.

Model scores range from +6 (very bullish) to zero (neutral) to -6 (very bearish). The chart above shows average 10-day returns as a function of model score from 2014 to the present. Hit rates on trades taken mechanically have been as one would expect from the above chart, with 64% of trades finishing up when scores have been 1 or 2; and 63% of trades finishing down when scores have been between -2 and -3 and very high hit rates at the bullish and bearish extremes.

We closed Friday with a score of +2, moderately bullish.

Women and children overboard

It's the Catch-22 of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations," like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans." Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that

Not a word was spoken (but many were learned)

Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. Alternatively, students who are not watching (the ones sitting with their backs to the screen) can be send out of the classroom and come up with a list of the questions to ask the 'watching group'. This works particularly well with action or crime scenes with
