Abstract

It sure would be nice if the market is always trending up. Investors can simply buy and hold, and sell the stocks when they need money. Unfortunately, the market never behaves as such. One assertion that seems to be certain for the behavior of the market is: the market always goes up, but then again, it will always come down. Thus, traders need to know when the market turns, and hopefully predict the turning points some time ahead. They can go long (buy) when the market goes up, and sell short (sell) when the market comes down. For the forecasting and identification of the turning points, we can turn to a mathematics discipline called Calculus for help. Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change. It relates to instantaneous rates of change and slopes of curves. It was developed independently by Issac Newton in England and Gottfried Leibniz in Germany in the late seventeenth century.
