Abstract

For building an automatic trading system one needs: significant variables for characterizing the asset behaviour; a suitable algorithm for finding out the information "hidden" in such variables; a proper Trading Strategy for transforming these information in operative indications. Starting from recent results proposed in literature, we have conjectured that Technical Analysis approach could reasonably extract the information present in prices and volumes. Like tool able to find out the relationship existing between the Technical Analysis inputs and an output we properly defined, we used the Group Method of Data Handling, a soft-computing approach which gives back a polynomial approximation of the unknown relationship between the inputs and the output. The automatic Trading System we implement is able both to work in real-time and to return operative signals. The system we created in such a way, not only performs pattern recognition, but also generate its own patterns. The results obtained during an intraday operating simulation on the US T-Bond future is satisfactory, particularly from the point of view of the trend direction detection, and from the net profit standpoint.
