Worth knowing about Investtech’s analyses

Investor psychology

We can interpret which psychological changes the investors have been through based on stock price fluctuations and trading volume. We can interpret what they are thinking now, or what mood they are in. This allows us to predict what they will probably do tomorrow or next month.

Trading today will then allow us to enter a stock before many other investors decide to buy, or to exit a stock before many other investors decide to sell.

Investtech’s analyses aim to interpret the fluctuations of investor psychology and market tends in order to predict the future development of stock prices. We do this using powerful computers, a large database of historical observations and the theory of technical analysis and behavioural finance.

Automatic analyses

Investtech's automatic analyses are based on advanced methods within pattern recognition, statistics and mathematics, developed since 1993. Emphasis is especially placed upon trends, support and resistance, stock price formations and volume.

For each stock and for each time perspective, a chart is produced together with its associated analysis. By using traditional theory for technical analysis, see Technical Analysis - For reduced risks and increased returns, the computers interpret what they find in the chart and then create both the analyses, texts and the correct recommendations, entirely automatically. This leaves no room for subjective interpretation, which is a common problem with traditional technical analysis, where the analysts draw the trend, support and resistance lines, and then interpret them.

The recommendations from the automatic analyses are given as Positive Candidate, Weak Positive Candidate, Wait/Watch, Weak Negative Candidate and Negative Candidate. Some places, however, Technical score is used. Risk is also indicated.

The analyses are produced and published as soon as possible after the closing of the exchange, and no later than before the exchange's opening the following day.

Time Perspectives

Investtech has three time perspectives for our analysis charts and recommendations.

Investtech also provides Candlestick charts covering 21 days. This, combined with short and medium term analysis charts, we consider best suited for investments with 0-10 days’ perspective.
