Abstract

This paper presents the use of an intelligent hybrid stock trading system that integrates neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms techniques to increase the efficiency of stock trading when using a volume adjusted moving average (VAMA), a technical indicator developed from equivolume charting. For this research, a neuro-fuzzy-based genetic algorithm (NF-GA) system utilizing a VAMA membership function is introduced. The results show that the intelligent hybrid system takes advantage of the synergy among these different techniques to intelligently generate more optimal trading decisions for the VAMA, allowing investors to make better stock trading decisions.
