{"title":"How Wave-Wavelet Trading Wins and Beats the Market","authors":"L. Tran","doi":"10.4172/2168-9458.1000179","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2168-9458.1000179","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this paper is to showcase trading strategies that give solutions to three difficult and intriguing problems in business finance, economics and statistics. The paper discusses trading strategies for both commodities and stocks but the main focus is on stock market trading at the New York Stock Exchange. Problem 1: Buy Low and Sell High. The buy low and sell high problem can be summarized like this: suppose the price of a commodity or stock fluctuates indefinitely, is there any explicit strategy for a trader to \"ride the price waves\" by buying low and selling high to eventually win even if price does not increase? Problem 2: \"Beat\" the Market. In Part 2, the trading system presented in Part 1 is transformed into a strategy that always outperforms the market eventually. Problem 3: Can a Trader Outperform a geometric Brownian Motion? The general belief is that it is impossible to \"beat\" a GBM since technical analysis of historical prices is useless in predicting future prices. The last part of the paper shows that the answer to Problem 3 is actually a \"YES\", which is quite surprising. The trading strategies presented are based mainly on information obtained from the movements of waves and wavelets created by large and small fluctuations of market prices. They do not involve any forecasting or prediction of future prices. Behavioral economics also plays a role in the decision making process of the Wavelet Trading program.

There are many reasons for Vietnamese citizen to choose and go abroad for working and earn the living. Thus, this study aims to explore factors influence on Vietnamese laborers’ decision of working in Taiwan. To obtain the objectives, the authors have drawn out a theoretical framework, and questionnaire was designed based on the real context of working environment of Vietnamese workers in Taiwanese factories. The data were collected in Taipei and Kaohsiung and carried out by using multiple statistical analyses, including: exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, mean point value, and multiple linear regressions. One of the important results shows that the most significant factors affecting Vietnamese migrant’s decision to work in Taiwan were individual capacity, impacts from family, and financial reasons. Through this study, the researchers hopes to provide useful findings for policy makers and government who have responsible for protecting migrant workers’ rights and for anyone who cares about positive and negative sides of working abroad.","PeriodicalId":315937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stock & Forex Trading","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116949690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study holds importance in respect to finding out whether our results will vary after applying the model studied in the developed economy or it holds same results in the developing economies.

It has been used in teaching, in student research as well as in problem solving within the public sector. It is composed of two acronyms. The analytical core, LICAC, stands for Localisation, Identification, Comparison, Analysis and Conformity with reality. The operational core, AIE, stands for Acceptance, Implementation and Evaluation. The method is conceived in 1983 and draws upon longitudinal research on Ibn KhaldA«n. It is lately configured and computerized in a battery of questions that suit brainstorming and gives opportunities to explore methodological and didactical ideas. When using LICAC AIE, the researcher is supposed to start with the object of analysis, localize it, identify it, analyse it and compare it. This differentiation between methodological concepts draws upon the experiences and theories of the researcher. Further reflexive support comes from helping devices as the SWOT-methodology and the PEAK-methodology that consolidate cognitive association. The success of the methodological process depends on feeling of empowerment. Conclusions reached should further be developed in contact with reality. The objective of this article, the comparative view and the research questions proposed are on how to operationalize LICAC AIE, in particular the analytical core LICAC.","PeriodicalId":315937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stock & Forex Trading","volume":"189 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125780018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It raises questions over the investment options to sustain such growth effort. We use a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model combine with survey-based microsimulation analysis at both national and subnational levels. We assume in the simulations that additionnal growth in total factor productivity is an exogenous factor and find the following results. First, we find that 8.21% agricultural annual growth rate is more effective at reducing poverty and achieves the first MDG goal by 2020. Second, we identify agricultural investment priorities and the required levels of public spending to achieve such growth and poverty reduction goals. We further analyze the growth at the subsector level and find that cereals and roots are more pro-poor. From this perspective, agricultural strategy based on expanding foodcrops production should be afforded the highest priority.","PeriodicalId":315937,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stock & Forex Trading","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133710158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
