Abstract
Using statistical tests, the profitability and predictive power of a technical analysis strategy based on candlestick patterns is tested. Candlestick technical analysis is a short term strategy based on the open, high, low and closing prices of a financial asset. The results show that the strategy is not profitable in the short term and has no predictive power when applied to 29 OMXS30 stocks over the period from 2007 to 2015.
Popular Abstract (Swedish)
Genom att använda statistiska tester så testas lönsamheten och prognosförmågan av en teknisk analys strategi baserad på candlestick mönster. Analys av Candlestick mönster är en kortsiktig strategi baserad på öppnings-, hög-, låg- och stängningskurser för en finansiell tillgång. Resultaten visar att strategin inte är lönsam på kort sikt och att den inte har någon prognosförmåga när den appliceras på 29 OMXS30 aktier under perioden från 2007 till 2015.
