The AAII Washington D.C. Metro Chapter presents...
"Technical Analysis: Past, Present and Future"
In this talk, Jasmina Hasanhodzic presents her findings from a broad study of technical analysis, a subject of two books and articles co-authored with Andrew Lo aimed at bridging the gap between practitioners of technical analysis and academic finance. In this study, Jasmina investigates technical analysis from three different perspectives. First, to place technical analysis in context, she conducts a historical study of its evolution through time and across cultures. Second, to understand how technical analysis is practiced today, she interviews its current leading practitioners. Finally, she reports on an innovative experiment, implemented as a video game, aimed to establish whether the human eye is capable of detecting meaningful patterns in charts of financial market data. Her results refute the widespread belief that financial markets look random to human beings.
