Stock price forecasting is one of the most complicated issues in view of the high fluctuation of the stock exchange and also it is a key issue for traders and investors. Many predicting models were upgraded by academy investigators to predict stock price. Despite this, after reviewing the past research, there are several negative aspects in the previous approaches, namely: (1) stringent statistical hypotheses are essential; (2) human interventions take part in predicting process; and (3) an appropriate range is complex to be discovered. Due to the problems mentioned, we plan to provide a new integrated approach based on Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), and Support Vector Machine (SVM).

  • 3 Ways to Spot Trend Reversals with the Mass Index
    3 Ways to Spot Trend Reversals with the Mass Index If you carefully observe any bar chart, you can see that even when the stock price is trending upwards or downwards, the price is actually ranging. The only difference between trending and ranging markets is the direction of the range. Once you draw an equidistant channel on any price chart, the ranging nature of price becomes more evident. Figure 1: Theory Behind the Mass Index Indicator When Donald Dorsey developed the Mass Index indicator, his rationale was that if the prevailing trend were going to change, the price range would have to widen. If you are having difficulty imagining the situation, look at figure 1, do you see what we mean? Although the Mass Index is great at signaling a potential change in the trend, it will not tell you which direction the trend is changing. After all, an uptrend can gain additional bullish momentum and that will also help make the range much wider. You have to remember that when the Mass Index technical indicator line is going up, the climbing line is only signaling that the volatility of the stock is going up. However, the Mass Index indicator line does not signify any directional bias of the stock. That’s why you need to incorporate other technical analysis tools into your mass index trading strategies in order to identify the change of direction of the prevailing trend. Consider an analogy for a moment, you are driving a car and the mass index calculator, which shows volatility of the stock, is your speedometer.

What Bearish Candlesticks Tell Us Hopefully at this point in your trading career you’ve come to know that candlesticks are important. Not only do they provide a visual representation of price on a chart, but they tell a story. Behind this story is the belief that the chart tells us everything we need to know: the what being more important than the why. Each candlestick is a representation of buyers and sellers and their emotions, regardless of the underlying “value” of the stock.

  • Investing with Volume Analysis
    Praise for Investing with Volume Analysis “Investing with Volume Analysis is a compelling read on the critical role that changing volume patterns play on predicting stock price movement. As buyers and sellers vie for dominance over price, volume analysis is a divining rod of profitable insight, helping to focus the serious investor on where profit can be realized and risk avoided.” —Walter A. Row, III, CFA, Vice President, Portfolio Manager, Eaton Vance Management “In Investing with Volume Analysis, Buff builds a strong case for giving more attention to volume. This book gives a broad overview of volume diagnostic measures and includes several references to academic studies underpinning the importance of volume analysis. Maybe most importantly, it gives insight into the Volume Price Confirmation Indicator (VPCI), an indicator Buff developed to more accurately gauge investor participation when moving averages reveal price trends. The reader will find out how to calculate the VPCI and how to use it to evaluate the health of existing trends.” —Dr. John Zietlow, D.B.A., CTP, Professor of Finance, Malone University (Canton, OH) “In Investing with Volume Analysis, the reader … should be prepared to discover a trove of new ground-breaking innovations and ideas for revolutionizing volume analysis. Whether it is his new Capital Weighted Volume, Trend Trust Indicator, or Anti-Volume Stop Loss method, Buff offers the reader new ideas and tools unavailable anywhere else.” —From the Foreword by Jerry E. Blythe, Market Analyst, President of Winthrop Associates, and Founder of Blythe Investment Counsel “Over the years, with all the advancements in computing power and analysis tools, one of the most important tools of analysis, volume, has been sadly neglected.

  • A Survey of Forex and Stock Price Prediction Using Deep Learning
    Review A Survey of Forex and Stock Price Prediction Using Deep Learning Zexin Hu †, Yiqi Zhao † and Matloob Khushi * School of Computer Science, The University of Sydney, Building J12/1 Cleveland St., Camperdown, NSW 2006, Australia; [email protected] (Z.H.); [email protected] (Y.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † The authors contributed equally; both authors should be considered the first author. Abstract: Predictions of stock and foreign exchange (Forex) have always been a hot and profitable area of study. Deep learning applications have been proven to yield better accuracy and return in the field of financial prediction and forecasting. In this survey, we selected papers from the Digital Bibliography & Library Project (DBLP) database for comparison and analysis. We classified papers according to different deep learning methods, which included Convolutional neural network (CNN); Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM); Deep neural network (DNN); Recurrent Neural Network (RNN); Reinforcement Learning; and other deep learning methods such as Hybrid Attention Networks (HAN), self-paced learning mechanism (NLP), and Wavenet. Furthermore, this paper reviews the dataset, variable, model, and results of each article. The survey used presents the results through the most used performance metrics: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Square Error (MSE), accuracy, Sharpe ratio, and return rate. We identified that recent models combining LSTM with other methods, for example, DNN, are widely researched. Reinforcement learning and other deep learning methods yielded great returns and performances. We conclude that, in recent years, the trend of using deep-learning-based methods for financial modeling is rising exponentially.

  • Application of Machine Learning in High Frequency Trading of Stocks
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 5, May-2019 1592 ISSN 2229-5518 Application of Machine Learning in High Frequency Trading of Stocks Obi Bertrand Obi Worldquant University 201 St. Charles Avenue, Suite 2500 New Orleans, LA 70170, USA [email protected] Abstract Algorithmic trading strategies have traditionally been centered on follwing the market trends and the use of technical indicators. Over the years High Frequency algorithmic Trading has been left only in the hands of institutional players with deep pockets and lots of assets under management, despite huge returns involved. In this project webuilt trading strategies by applying Machine Learning models to technical indicators based on High Frequency Stock data. The result is an automated trading system which when applied to any stock could generate returns which are ten times higher than the market returns without significant increase in volatility. With advancement in technology High Frequency Algorithmic trading can be undertaken even by individuals or retail traders with moderate initial investment and technical skills. Keywords:Machine Lerning; Prediction of stock prices movements; Classification reports; Algorithmic trading; High frequency trading; Key performace indicators IJSER 1. Introduction Not too long ago, Algorithmic Trading was only available for institutional players with deep pockets and lots of assets under management. Recent developments in the areas of open source, open data, cloud computing and storage as well as online trading platforms have leveled the playing field for smaller institutions and individual traders, making it possible to venture in this fascinating discipline with only a modern notebook and an Internet connection. Nowadays, Python and its eco-system of powerful packages is the technology platform of choice for algorithmic trading.
