Abstract

In this article, we provide four financial technical analysis tools: moving averages, Bollinger bands, moving-average convergence divergence, and the relative strength index. The tftools command is used with four subcommands, each referring to a technical analysis tool: bollingerbands, macd, movingaverage, and rsi. We provide examples for each tool. tftools allows researchers to backtest their own investment strategies and will be of interest to investors, researchers, and students of finance.
