Abstract:

In financial industry, the accurate forecasting of the stock market is a major challenge to optimize and update portfolios and also to evaluate several financial derivatives. Artificial neural networks and technical analysis are becoming widely used by industry experts to predict stock market moves. In this paper, different technical analysis measures and resilient back-propagation neural networks are used to predict the price level of five major developed international stock markets, namely the US S&P500, Japanese Nikkei, UK FTSE100, German DAX, and the French CAC40. Four categories of technical analysis measures are compared. They are indicators, oscillators, stochastics, and indexes. The out-of-sample simulation results show a strong evidence of the effectiveness of the indicators category over the oscillators, stochastics, and indexes. In addition, it is found that combining all these measures lead to an increase of the prediction error. In sum, technical analysis indicators provide valuable information to predict the S&P500, Nikkei, FTSE100, DAX, and the CAC40 price level.
