Linear Regression Model

Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)

Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)

where:

i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of CORT price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e


Primary Trend

Start date: November 19, 2020
End date: February 15, 2022

a = 3.7429

b = -0.0008

s = 0.0731

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0008) – 1
= -25.84%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0731) – 1
= 33.96%

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y387)
= Exp(a + b × X387 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 559 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7429 + -0.0008 × 559 + 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.4313)
= $30.92

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y387)
= Exp(a + b × X387 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 559 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7429 + -0.0008 × 559 – 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.1389)
= $23.08

February 15, 2022 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y698)
= Exp(a + b × X698 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,012 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7429 + -0.0008 × 1,012 + 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.0603)
= $21.33

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y698)
= Exp(a + b × X698 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,012 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.7429 + -0.0008 × 1,012 – 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(2.7679)
= $15.92

a = 2.8986

b = 0.0002

s = 0.1190

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 7.69%
