Interested in measuring a short-term Trend ?
Price persistency is the number of days that a market continues to close either up or down. It’s another term for a market run. The usefulness of Price Persistency is based on the theory of runs..It is the idea that, given the market has moved in a particular direction for ( n ) days, the likelihood it will either continue..or not…can be estimated and used in a profitable trading system….
