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 TSCO 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: March 26, 2021
End date: February 22, 2024

a = 3.5358

b = 0.0002

s = 0.0731

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0002) – 1
= 6.77%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0731) – 1
= 33.97%

March 26, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y229)
= Exp(a + b × X229 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 331 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5358 + 0.0002 × 331 + 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.7414)
= $42.16

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y229)
= Exp(a + b × X229 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 331 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5358 + 0.0002 × 331 – 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.4489)
= $31.47

February 22, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y960)
= Exp(a + b × X960 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,394 + 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5358 + 0.0002 × 1,394 + 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.9321)
= $51.02

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y960)
= Exp(a + b × X960 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,394 – 2 × s)
= Exp(3.5358 + 0.0002 × 1,394 – 2 × 0.0731)
= Exp(3.6396)
= $38.08

a = 3.2812

b = 0.0004

s = 0.0703

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 16.73%
