Adding Transaction Volume and Risk to Momentum Indicators

Summary

The document outlines a generalized form of momentum-based technical analysis in which transaction volume enters as a multiplicative factor. It proposes comparing strategies built from this generalized indicator with strategies using classical technical analysis, so the role of volume can be considered alongside the usual momentum signal.

The comparison also incorporates an investor risk criterion, indicating that the evaluation considers risk as well as returns. The description does not specify the indicator formula, the risk measure, the assets or data used, or the results of the comparison. It therefore presents the research question and broad method, but provides too little detail to judge whether volume adjustment improves performance or how the approach might behave under different market conditions.

Key ideas

• The proposed indicator modifies momentum analysis by multiplying in transaction volume.
• The study compares strategies using the generalized indicator with strategies based on classical technical analysis.
• The comparison takes an investor risk criterion into account alongside returns.
• The available description does not report the formula, test setting, or comparative results.

# Generalized Technical Analysis. Effects of transaction volume and risk









We generalize the momentum indicator idea taking into account the volume of transactions as a multiplicative factor. We compare returns obtained following strategies based on the classical or the generalized technical analysis, taking into account a sort of risk investor criterion.
