Do Moon Phases Influence Financial Markets?

Hi all,

We will find out when these events happened last year.
We will analyze each graphic and understand the influence these moon phases have on the evolution of the market. Finally we will draw some conclusions to help us make financial predictions.

What full moon and new moon is?
A lunar phase is in fact the appearance of the illuminated part of the Moon as seen from the Earth. The lunar phase varies as the moon orbits the Earth accordingly to the positions of the Moon, Earth and Sun related to each other.
Every 28 days the Moon comes between the Sun and Earth. This means that the Moon is in conjunction with the Sun. At this specific moment the Moon is not visible to the eye, but the original meaning of “New Moon” refers to the first visible crescent of the Moon after conjunction. The Moon can be now seen over the western horizon and each night, the illuminated part gets bigger until, after 14 days, almost a whole hemisphere of the Moon can be seen. This is in fact the moment of the Full Moon. The Moon is now on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. This means that the Moon is in opposition with the Sun. The Full Moon rises over the horizon after the sunset. During the next 14 days the illuminated part decreases until the Moon is again in conjunction with the Sun (the next New Moon). The exact time for the Full Moon and the New Moon is determined using a mathematical formula and can be found in the ephemerides.


HAVE A GREEN DAY

Re: Do Moon Phases Influence Financial Markets?

I always had a problem connecting these type of things/astrology, etc... to trading.

However, I did follow someones commentary years ago who used all things astral and they actually did a pretty decent job predicting the macro markets.

I just had a hard time following the correlation.

I'M NOT SPAMING. I just want to share my knowledge. I think it's a difference.

Someone beat you to it. Or are you just trying to pass their work off as your own?

Re: Do Moon Phases Influence Financial Markets?

There could be some logic in this after all. If these moon phases influence people, they could theoreticly influence the markets too.

Re: Do Moon Phases Influence Financial Markets?

I suppose you could be right. Then again you have to buy into the belief that moon phases influence people before you can buy into the markets
