Forecasting Exchange Rates with Fuzzy Granular Evolving Modeling for Trading Strategies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses a fuzzy set based evolving modeling (FBeM) approach and the task of forecasting exchange rates in order to perform trading strategies. FBeM is a granular computing technique that uses fuzzy information granules to model nonstationary functions providing functional and linguistic approximations. As an application, this work considers the BRL/USD exchange rate market data for the period from January 2000 to October 2012. Comparisons in terms of goodness of fit and based on trading performance indicators includes the granular model against a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), an autoregressive moving average (ARMA), a naïve strategy and some state of the art evolving fuzzy systems. Computational results suggest that the FBeM model statistically outperforms the alternative approaches.

متن کاملFuzzy dual-factor time-series for stock index forecasting
There is an old Wall Street adage goes, ‘‘It takes volume to make price move”. The contemporaneous relation between trading volume and stock returns has been studied since stock markets were first opened. Recent researchers such as Wang and Chin [Wang, C. Y., & Chin S. T.

متن کاملEvolving Participatory Learning Fuzzy Modeling for Yield Curve Forecasting with Time-Varying Volatility
This paper suggests a dynamic approach for the term structure of interest rates forecasting using evolving participatory learning fuzzy modeling (ePL). The model includes a time-varying volatility structure in order to predict the yield curve factors. Thus, this framework both comprises an adaptive framework for term structure parameters behavior and deal with the uncertainty related to these f...
متن کاملUsing a Fuzzy Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average Model for Exchange Rate Forecasting
Forecasting models have wide applications in decision making. In the real world, rapid changes normally take place in different areas, specifically in financial markets. Collecting the required data is a main problem for forecasters in such unstable environments. Forecasting methods such as Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models and also Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) need ...
متن کاملEvolving trading strategies using directional changes
The majority of forecasting methods use a physical time scale for studying price fluctuations of financial markets, making the flow of physical time discontinuous. Therefore, using a physical time scale may expose companies to risks, due to ignorance of some significant activities. In this paper, an alternative and original approach is explored to capture important activities in the market. The...
