Technical indicators are normally used to monitor the stock prices and assist investors to set up trading rules to make the buy-sell-hold decision. The rules can predict to certain extent buy not always the price movement of stocks. The accuracy of the rules is dependent on the time and the best trading rule is determinant by the accuracy. Certain combination of trading rules will generate more reliable buy-sell-hold signals for a particular sock in a certain period of time.
In this paper, we propose a knowledge based decision making system for stock trading strategies. The proposed system analyzes the stock historical price and transaction volume using technical indicators and trading rules and advises the investor on making decision on the next-day stock trading(buy-sell-hold). Technical indicators that we are using include MACD, CCI, ROC, Stochastic, VR, OBV, PSY, RSI. Parameter and structure of the technical indicators and trading rules are automatic optimization based on the profit.
Experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of the system. The data used for analysis are blue-chip items. The analysis period is from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003. Risk management is accomplished by Stop Loss. The results indicate that the system can get more returns than buy and hold strategies.
