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 UGI 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: April 20, 2021
End date: July 16, 2024

a = 4.0657

b = -0.0006

s = 0.1046

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × -0.0006) – 1
= -19.52%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.1046) – 1
= 51.96%

April 20, 2021 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y354)
= Exp(a + b × X354 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 517 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0657 + -0.0006 × 517 + 2 × 0.1046)
= Exp(3.9674)
= $52.84

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y354)
= Exp(a + b × X354 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 517 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0657 + -0.0006 × 517 – 2 × 0.1046)
= Exp(3.5489)
= $34.77

July 16, 2024 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,168)
= Exp(a + b × X1,168 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,700 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0657 + -0.0006 × 1,700 + 2 × 0.1046)
= Exp(3.2636)
= $26.14

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y1,168)
= Exp(a + b × X1,168 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,700 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.0657 + -0.0006 × 1,700 – 2 × 0.1046)
= Exp(2.8451)
= $17.20

a = 2.5893

b = 0.0003

s = 0.0466

Annual growth rate:

Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0003) – 1
= 13.13%

Price channel spread:

Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0466) – 1
= 20.51%

August 7, 2023 calculations

Top border of price channel:

Exp(Y932)
= Exp(a + b × X932 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,356 + 2 × s)
= Exp(2.5893 + 0.0003 × 1,356 + 2 × 0.0466)
= Exp(3.1408)
= $23.12

Bottom border of price channel:

Exp(Y932)
= Exp(a + b × X932 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,356 – 2 × s)
