Improving N calculation of the RSI financial indicator using neural networks

Abstract

Proceeding of: 2010 2nd IEEE International Conference on Information and Financial Engineering (ICIFE 2010), 17-19 September 2010, Chongqing, China 2010Trading and Stock Behavioral Analysis Systems require efficient Artificial Intelligence techniques for analyzing large financial datasets and have become in the current economic landscape a significant challenge for multi disciplinary research. Particularly, Trading oriented Decision Support Systems based on the Chartist or Technical Analysis Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) have been published and used worldwide. However, its combination with Neural Networks as a branch of evolutionary computing which can outperform previous results remain a relevant approach which has not deserved enough attention. In this paper, we present the Chartist Analysis Platform for Trading (CAST, in short) platform, a proof of concept architecture and implementation of a Trading Decision Support System based on the RSI N value calculation and Feed Forward Neural Networks (FFNN). CAST provides a set of relatively more accurate financial decisions yielded by the combination of Artificial Intelligence techniques to the N calculation for RSI and a more precise and improved upshot obtained from feed forward algorithms application to stock value datasets.This work is supported by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Tourism, and Commerce under the project GODO2 (TSI- 020100-2008-564) and SONAR2 (TSI-020100-2008- 665), under the PIBES project of the Spanish Committee of Education & Science (TEC2006-12365-C02-01) and the MID-CBR project of the Spanish Committee of Education & Science (TIN2006-15140-C03-02).
