Abstract: | Confluence (hereafter as: confl.) occurs when different trading filters generate signals pointing to the same directional move. This paper investigates confl. trading signals associated with number preference and price exhaustion, e.g. Australian (here: A.) stocks. The results show that certain price levels tend to act as psychological barriers, and that price exhaustion signals are a real phenomenon in the A. stock market. It is also shown that confl. exists in the A. stock market. The results suggest that A. stocks do not follow a random walk. |
