This paper proposes an intelligent trading system using support vector regression optimized by genetic algorithms (SVR-GA) and multilayer perceptron optimized with GA (MLP-GA). Experimental results show that both approaches outperform conventional trading systems without prediction and a recent fuzzy trading system in terms of final equity and maximum drawdown for Hong Kong Hang Seng stock index.

Classical approaches to traders in middleware rely on a common language of server, clients, and traders to understand each other. In these systems, pre-defined ontologies play a crucial role. But when dealing with large-scale, open systems such ontologies are no longer available. To cope with this problem, we have developed a radically different approach to trading. Rather than relying 100% on ...

In this paper, we investigate the ability of higher order fuzzy systems to handle increased uncertainty, mostly induced by the market microstructure noise inherent in a high frequency trading (HFT) scenario. Whilst many former studies comparing type-1 and type-2 Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLSs) focus on error reduction or market direction accuracy, our interest is predominantly risk-adjusted performa...

Many complex problems (e.g., financial investment planning, foreign exchange trading, data mining from large/multiple databases) require hybrid intelligent systems that integrate many intelligent techniques (e.g., fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms). However, hybrid intelligent systems are difficult to develop because they have a large number of parts or components that have m...

An intelligent communicating agent has both the properties of intelligent agents and communicating agents, which are autonomy, reactivity, proactiveness and sociability. In this paper, we propose a modelbased approach to designing and implementing intelligent communicating agents for multi-agent systems (MAS). As background knowledge for our approach, we first briefly introduce the agent-orient...

One prevalent vision of agent-mediated trading on electronic marketplaces is that intelligent, economically driven agents will form a rich, diverse, dynamic economic Web, and that agent-to-agent e-commerce transactions may eventually dominate the global economy in the future. Agents may facilitate a variety of relevant functions such as advertising, matchmaking and brokering. Current applicatio...

today, stock investment has become an important mean of national finance. apparently, it is significant for investors to estimate the stock price and select the trading chance accurately in advance, which will bring high return to stockholders. in the past, long-term trading processes and many technical analysis methods for stock market were put forward. however, stock market is a nonlinear sys...

Technical analysis is one of the financial market analysis tools. Technical analysis is a method of anticipating prices and markets through studying historical market data. Based on the factors studied in this type of analysis, indicators are designed and presented to facilitate decision-making on buy and sell stress and then buy and sell action in financial markets. This research evaluates per...

deregulation policy has caused some changes in the concepts of power systems reliability assessment and enhancement. in this paper, generation reliability is considered, and a method for its assessment using intelligent systems is proposed. also, because of power market and generators’ forced outages stochastic behavior, monte carlo simulation is used for reliability evaluation. generation reli...
