As can be seen from this example from Yahoo!Finance this should not happen (click on "+ The adjusted close"): https://help.yahoo.com/kb/finance/SLN2311.html?impressions=true Another more complete example can be found here: http://luminouslogic.com/how-to-normalize-historical-data-for-splits-dividends-etc.htm So my explanation is that this is a glitch in ...

First of all, I do not believe the "optimal smoothing" of an estimator (like the mean or the variance) and the "regression case" are the same. The smoothing of an existing estimator (like mean or variance in the blog post), is an univariate problem, where the regression is a multivariate one. In the regression case, you should be able to change the ...

Did you try solving for $w_k$? $$\bar{r}_t = \sum_{k=0}^p w_k r_{t-k}$$ $$\bar R = W R$$ Since you probably have $t>>k$, you can solve for $W$ using OLS $$\bar R = W R +\varepsilon$$ -- UPDATE You can try applying Kalman filter. Here, your state evolution is $$r_t=\mu+\varepsilon_t$$. You introduce new vector $x_t=(r_t, r_{t-1}, \dots, ... 2 def bbands(price, length=30, numsd=2): """ returns average, upper band, and lower band""" ave = pd.stats.moments.rolling_mean(price,length) sd = pd.stats.moments.rolling_std(price,length) upband = ave + (sd*numsd) dnband = ave - (sd*numsd) return np.round(ave,3), np.round(upband,3), np.round(dnband,3) sp['ave'], sp['upper'], ... 1 Thanks @Aksakal for suggesting Kalman Filter. Here I provide more details. We will view it as a state-space model: $$\begin{split} z_t &= A_t z_{t-1} + B_t u_t + \epsilon_t, \\ y_t &= C_t z_t + D_t u_t + \delta_t, \\ \epsilon_t &\sim \mathcal{N}(0, Q_t),\ \delta_t \sim \mathcal{N}(0, R_t), \end{split}$$ where$z_t\$ is the latent variable, ...

The Technical Analysis of Financial markets is considered as a milestone of the matter. I suggest to read that before starting to test your strategy. It explains well the use of each indicator, providing the economic reason behind that and when it is useful to use that; moreover, the book deals the stock market with mainly, as you need for. In my humble ...

I think wiki calculated upon new way and your excel calculated upon Wilder way (Wilder book). I have same issue when use both method. Look like new Metastock 5 software offer both method.
