Applying Fundamental Analysis and Neural Networks in the Australian Stockmarket
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates how neural networks may be successfully applied to the problem of security selection in the Australian Stockmarket. In practice, it is unrealistic for a trader to apply capital to all securities available in the market, and a selection technique must be employed to reduce the number of securities competing for capital. Selection techniques are generally based on either fundamental analysis procedures, or technical analysis procedures. This paper focuses on fundamental procedures, and implements a neural network which enhances the effectiveness of these procedures.

Evaluating the Application of Neural Networks and Fundamental Analysis in the Australian Stockmarket
This paper evaluates the use of an artificial neural network within a stockmarket trading strategy. The neural network was previously developed by the same authors, and has been trained using fundamental, company specific data. This study sites the neural network within a trading context, and demonstrates it is capable of producing economically significant results after accounting for costs.
متن کاملCombining technical analysis and neural networks in the australian stockmarket
One of the greatest difficulties facing a stock trader or investment manager is the stock selection process. In this process, the investor is faced with a large number of competing investments, and a fixed amount of capital. The goal is to spread the available capital across a reduced subset of the competing investments, with the aim of increasing the return. Typically, the investor relies on o...
متن کاملStockmarket Trading using Fundamental Variables and Neural Networks
This paper uses a neural network methodology developed by Vanstone & Finnie[1] to develop a successful stockmarket trading system. The approach is based on these same 4 fundamental variables used within the Aby et al. fundamental trading strategies [2, 3], and demonstrates the important role neural networks have to play within complex and noisy environments, such as that provided by the stockma...
متن کاملRisk Management in the Australian Stock Market using Artificial Neural Networks
This thesis proposes an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) enhanced decision support system for financial risk management. The decision support system allows hedgers to maximise their expected return while practising the hedge against financial risks. The importance of the research stems from the fact that it can be used to reduce the risk associated with adverse price movements in the stock marke...
