Download or read book Forecast of Financial Markets Stock Prices Using Neural Networks and ANFIS written by Luis Alberto Valencia Vega and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial market is a very complex nonlinear series of time. There have been a lot of opinions in the topic of the predictability of it. The need to predict a next day, week, or month has always existed for the final purpose of making money. The most common way of forecasting this time series is with statistic methods and linear regression models. However, the use of artificial intelligence algorithms may have a better outcome, due to the capability of them to handle nonlinear data. The present thesis will be focused on evaluating the use of artificial intelligence algorithms as forecasters for financial markets stock prices. Two algorithms will be used, Feed-Forward Neural networks and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS). All forecasts are made with the purpose of a short term trading strategy. Three stocks will be used as an example of the consistency of the method; Google, Apple and the Mexican stock ALFA. These three stocks have different distributed data and different behavior from the neural networks and ANFIS ¡s expected.

This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - Technical Computer Science, , course: Computer Science, language: English, abstract: Modeling and Forecasting of the financial market have been an attractive topic to scholars and researchers from various academic fields. The financial market is an abstract concept where financial commodities such as stocks, bonds, and precious metals transactions happen between buyers and sellers. In the present scenario of the financial market world, especially in the stock market, forecasting the trend or the price of stocks using machine learning techniques and artificial neural networks are the most attractive issue to be investigated. As Giles explained, financial forecasting is an instance of signal processing problem which is difficult because of high noise, small sample size, non-stationary, and non-linearity. The noisy characteristics mean the incomplete information gap between past stock trading price and volume with a future price. The stock market is sensitive with the political and macroeconomic environment. However, these two kinds of information are too complex and unstable to gather. The above information that cannot be included in features are considered as noise. The sample size of financial data is determined by real-world transaction records. On one hand, a larger sample size refers a longer period of transaction records; on the other hand, large sample size increases the uncertainty of financial environment during the 2 sample period. In this project, we use stock data instead of daily data in order to reduce the probability of uncertain noise, and relatively increase the sample size within a certain period of time. By non-stationarity, one means that the distribution of stock data is various during time changing. Non-linearity implies that feature correlation of different individual stocks is various. Efficient Market Hypothesis was developed by Burton G. Malkiel in 1991.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines andanalyzes the use of neural networks as a forecasting tool. Specifically a neural network's ability to predict future trends of Stock Market Indices is tested. Accuracy is compared against a traditional forecasting method, multiple linear regression analysis. Finally, the probability of the model's forecast being correct is calculated using conditional probabilities. While only briefly discussing neural network theory, this research determines the feasibility and practicality of usingneural networks as a forecasting tool for the individual investor. This study builds upon the work done byEdward Gately in his book Neural Networks for Financial Forecasting. This research validates the work of Gately and describes the development of a neural network that achieved a 93.3 percent probability of predicting a market rise, and an 88.07 percent probability of predicting a market drop in the S&P500. It was concluded that neural networks do have the capability to forecast financial markets and, if properly trained, the individual investor could benefit from the use of this forecasting tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exotic methods refer to specific functions within general soft computing methods such as genetic algorithms, neural networks and rough sets theory. They are applied to ordinary shares for a variety of financial purposes, such as portfolio selection and optimization, classification of market states, forecasting of market states and data mining. This is in contrast to the wide spectrum of work done on exotic financial instruments, wherein advanced mathematics is used to construct financial instruments for hedging risks and for investment.In this book, particular aspects of the general method are used to create interesting applications. For instance, genetic niching produces a family of portfolios for the trader to choose from. Support vector machines, a special form of neural networks, forecast the financial markets; such a forecast is on market states, of which there are three OCo uptrending, mean reverting and downtrending. A self-organizing map displays in a vivid manner the states of the market. Rough sets with a new discretization method extract information from stock prices."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there exists some studies which deal with the issues of forecasting stock market index and development of trading strategies, most of the empirical findings are associated with the developed financial markets (e.g., U.S., U.K., and Japan). Currently, many international investment bankers and brokerage firms have major stakes in overseas markets. Given the economic success of Taiwan in the last two decades, the financial markets in this Asian country have attracted considerable global investments. Our study models and predicts the TSE Index using neural networks. Their performance is compared with that of parametric forecasting approaches, namely the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) and random walk. These rapidly growing financial markets are usually characterized by high volatility, relatively smaller capitalization, and less price efficiency, features which may hinder the effectiveness of those forecasting models developed for established markets. The good performance of the PNN suggests that the neural network models are useful in predicting the direction of index returns. Furthermore, PNN has demonstrated a stronger predictive power than both the GMM-Kalman filter and the random walk forecasting models. This superiority is partially attributed to PNN's ability to identify outliers and erroneous data. Compared to the other two parametric techniques examined in this study, PNN does not require any assumption of the underlying probability density functions of the class populations. The trading experiment shows that the PNN-guided trading strategies obtain higher profits than the other investment strategies utilizing the market direction generated by the parametric forecasting methods. In addition, the PNN-guided trading with multiple triggering thresholds is generally better than the one with single triggering thresholds. The multiple threshold version is able to consider the degree of certainty of a particular PNN classification and thereby reduce potential loss in the market.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forecasting price index is an important problem in financial markets. In the past decades the prediction of stock index has played a vital role in the financial situation of several companies which have stocks in the market. In the past this prediction process was simple and easy for several reasons: the behavior of the stocks was known and not complicated beside the existence of a number of experts in this field. Several techniques are used to predict and model the stock market behavior and try to increase the accuracy of prediction. Neural networks have several characteristics which make them good models to predict the complex behavior of stock index and increase the accuracy of the prediction. Combining neural networks with evolutionary computational methods like Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing can give better results in learning neural networks specially for problem of forecasting stock index.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is vitally crucial to establish a method that can accurately forecast prices on the stock exchange market because of the influence the stock market has on the country's ability to raise capital and advance its economic growth. On the stock market, a great number of sensitivity factors are connected to price movement, which is why the progressions associated with such a phenomenon are routinely evaluated. Several neural network models have recently been used to forecast stock prices. In this research, the data related to active companies in the stock market was used to evaluate research questions. Also, the neural network technique was used to look at all data from the market index, fuzzy neural network model, and long short-term memory (LSTM) model from 2020 to 2021. Accordingly, this study aims to forecast the stock price and give a dynamic model with fewer errors using integrated factors, the technical, cardinal, and economic assessment of the market index using the neural network technique. This will be accomplished by utilizing the neural network method. The findings demonstrated that if the combined data of basic analytical factors was used further, we would not only have better training and receive better results, but we would also be able to decrease the prediction error.

Download or read book Application of Neural Networks to an Emerging Financial Market written by An-Sing Chen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, neural networks have drawn noticeable attention from many computer and operations researchers. While some previous studies have found encouraging results with using this artificial intelligence technique to predict the movements of established financial markets, it is interesting to verify the persistence of this performance in the emerging markets. These rapid growing financial markets are usually characterized by high volatility, relatively smaller capitalization, and less price efficiency, features which may hinder the effectiveness of those forecasting models developed for established markets. In this study, we attempt to model and predict the direction of return on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Index, one of the fastest growing financial exchanges in developing Asian countries. Our approach is based on the notion that trading strategies guided by forecasts of the direction of price movement may be more effective and lead to higher profits. The Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) is used to forecast the direction of index return after it is trained by historical data. The forecasts are applied to various index trading strategies, of which the performances are compared with those generated by the buy and hold strategy, and the investment strategies guided by the forecasts estimated by the random walk model and the parametric Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) with Kalman filter. Empirical results show that the PNN-based investment strategies obtain higher returns than other investment strategies examined in this study. The influences of the length of investment horizon and the commission rate are also considered.
