Convexity-Concavity Indicators and Automated Trading Strategies Based on Gradient Boosted Classification Trees Models
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper uses the visibility and invisibility algorithms to build the peak and trough indicators, providing a way to recognize the convexity, concavity and regime change of the CSI 300 Index from the April 8, 2005 to June 30, 2016. The study found that the automated trading rules discovered by the gradient boosted classification trees models derived from the peak indicator outperform that from the trough indicator. Due to the long-term bubble regime in the Chinese stock market, the technical trading rules in general have a better short term predictive ability than long term, in terms of the values of Sharpe Ratio and PnL/MD obtained from the whole out-of-sample.

Linear and Nonlinear Trading Models with Gradient Boosted Random Forests and Application to Singapore Stock Market
This paper presents new trading models for the stock market and test whether they are able to consistently generate excess returns from the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Instead of conventional ways of modeling stock prices, we construct models which relate the market indicators to a trading decision directly. Furthermore, unlike a reversal trading system or a binary system of buy and sell, we allo...

We present results from a large-scale empirical comparison between ten learning methods: SVMs, neural nets, logistic regression, naive bayes, memory-based learning, random forests, decision trees, bagged trees, boosted trees, and boosted stumps. We evaluate the methods on binary classification problems using nine performance criteria: accuracy, squared error, cross-entropy, ROC Area, F-score, p...
متن کاملAutomatic Creation of Stock Trading Rules on the Basis of Decision Trees
The main task of any trader is the selection of profitable strategies for trading a financial instrument. One of the simplest ways to represent trading rules is binary decision trees based on the comparison of current values of technical indicators with some absolute values. This approach simplifies the creation of trading systems but their validity is limited to short-term intervals of trade. ...
