Several research efforts had been done to forecast stock price based on technical indicators which rely purely on historical stock price data.

Input variables extracted from these hybrid indicators are fed into a fuzzy-neural network for improved accuracy of stock price prediction. The empirical results obtained with published stock data shows that the proposed model can be effective to improving accuracy of stock price predictio
