Abstract | Trading rules have been utilized in the stock market to make profit for more than a century. However, only using a single trading rule may not be sufficient to predict the stock price trend accurately. Although some complex trading strategies combining various classes of trading rules have been proposed in the literature, they often pick only one rule for each class, which may lose valuable information from other rules in the same class. In this paper, a complex stock trading strategy, namely weight reward strategy (WRS), is proposed. WRS combines the two most popular classes of trading rules-moving average (MA) and trading range break-out (TRB). For both MA and TRB, WRS includes different combinations of the rule parameters to get a universe of 140 component trading rules in all. Each component rule is assigned a start weight and a reward/penalty mechanism based on profit is proposed to update these rules’ weights over time. To determine the best parameter values of WRS, we employ an improved time variant Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with the objective of maximizing the annual net profit generated by WRS. The experiments show that our proposed WRS optimized by PSO outperforms the best moving average and trading range break-out rules. |
