Investtech's Research
Investtech's systems are built on research dating back to 1994, and several projects have received support from the Research Council of Norway. Our research is based on principles from mathematical pattern recognition, statistical optimisation and behavioural finance.
Our most important goal is to identify circumstances that can give investors robust excess return over time.
The Chief Indicator is Trend
Investtech's research shows that stocks in rising trends give a good indication that they will continue upwards. And not only that; they will rise more than benchmark index.

Rectangle Formations give Good Signals
Positive signals from rectangle formations are robust and reliable, with a hit rate of nearly 70 per cent.

Investtech Research: Support and Resistance
Support and resistance are among the most important elements of technical analysis. In some areas our research findings are in accordance with the theory, while other findings indicate that the theory is weak or even wrong.

RSI: A New Perspective
Investtech's research indicates that overbought RSI statistically is a strong
positive signal, quite contrary to common usage of this indicator.

Volum is an Underestimated Technical Indicator
Many investors do not emphasise volume when doing technical analysis, and mostly look for patterns in price development. Investtech's research shows that volume balance, our indicator for covariance between price and volume, historically has been a good indicator for future price movements.
