Sorry, Martin, I guess I wasn't clear. Stock Trader's Almanac has
researched almost all of the questions you have asked. You have to
look at a lot of charts, tables and descriptions to put it all
together, but it's in there if you'll take the time to read it.
Yes, I'm sure many people will try to write some kind of simple MS
code to re-invent the wheel to save the price of the book. Okay, for
some people time is much cheaper than money.
If you take a simple SPX index chart with a 5, 15 and 40 simple
moving average on it, it will tell you when to trade long and when to
trade short. In addition, it will tell you what periods to use when
testing and optimizing long and short systems.
If you take the information in the Stock Trader's Almanac, open a few
daily, weekly and monthly SPX charts, you will see how they figured
out their conclusions.
Volatility is sometimes caused by institutional investors moving in
and out of the market, among other things. Volatility changes by the
time of day, the day of the week, the week of the month and the month
of the year. The almanac gives you clues as to when these time frames
are likely to take place.
It's not a perfect book, and it doesn't answer every question, but it
does contribute some of the pieces to understanding what's going on.
