Abstract
The motivation of this article is to introduce a novel hybrid Genetic algorithm-Support Vector Machines method when applied to the task of forecasting and trading the daily and weekly returns of the FTSE 100 and ASE 20 indices. This is done by benchmarking its results with a Higher-Order Neural Network, a Naïve Bayesian Classifier, an autoregressive moving average model, a moving average convergence/divergence model, plus a naïve and a buy and hold strategy. More specifically, the trading performance of all models is investigated in forecast and trading simulations on the FTSE 100 and ASE 20 time series over the period January 2001-May 2010, using the last 18 months for out-of-sample testing. As it turns out, the proposed hybrid model does remarkably well and outperforms its benchmarks in terms of correct directional change and trading performance. © 2013 Macmillan Publishers Ltd
