IV. Investment & Trading Testable Hypothesis: Section IV - In this section, we will present our overarching hypothesis that forms the foundation of our trading approach. It outlines the core principles and assumptions upon which our strategy is based.

- A. Statistical Validity & Strict Discipline: Section IV.A - In this section, we delve into the significance of statistical validity and the need for maintaining strict discipline in our investment and trading approach. These factors are essential for ensuring the reliability and integrity of our strategy.
- - 1. Optimal Sample Size: Section IV.A.1 - Determining the optimal sample size is essential for achieving statistical validity. It involves selecting a sufficient number of data points or observations to provide reliable and representative results. By using an appropriate sample size, we aim to minimize sampling errors and increase the accuracy of our analysis.
  - 2. Sampling Method: Section IV.A.2 - The sampling method refers to the approach used to select data points from the larger population for analysis. It is important to choose a sampling method that ensures randomness and unbiased representation. Common sampling methods include simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling. The choice of sampling method depends on the nature of the data and research objectives.
  - 3. Control Group vs Experiment Group: Section IV.A.3 - In some cases, it may be necessary to compare the performance of different groups or treatments within an investment strategy. The control group represents the baseline or reference group, while the experiment group involves applying a specific change or intervention. By comparing the performance of these groups, we can assess the impact of the intervention and evaluate its effectiveness.
  - 4. Statistical Significance: Section IV.A.4 - Statistical significance is a measure of the likelihood that observed results are not due to chance. It helps us determine whether the differences or relationships observed in our data are statistically meaningful. By conducting statistical tests and analyzing p-values or confidence intervals, we can assess the significance of our findings and make informed decisions based on the results.
  - 5. Confounding, Independent, & Dependent Variables: Section IV.A.5 - In investment and trading analysis, it is crucial to identify and account for confounding variables that may influence the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Independent variables are the factors or variables we manipulate or control, while dependent variables are the outcomes or variables we measure or observe. Confounding variables are additional factors that can impact the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Properly accounting for these variables helps ensure the accuracy and reliability of our analysis. These statistical considerations provide a solid foundation for our investment and trading approach, allowing us to make informed decisions based on reliable data and analysis.
- B. Trade Volume: Section IV.B - Trade volume refers to the number of shares or contracts traded within a specified period. It is an important metric in investment and trading analysis as it provides insights into market liquidity and investor participation.
