I will be using an artificial neural network to predict Up, Down, or Nowhere direction. Traders buy (sell) when they anticipate a bullish (bearish) trend in some time and no investment when the market is moving Nowhere. An artificial neural network with feedforward backpropagation will be implemented in this section. A neural network requires input and output data to the neural network. Closing prices and indicators derived from closing prices are input layer nodes and three classes (Up, Down, and Nowhere) are output layer nodes. However, there is no limit on the number of nodes in the input layer. I will use a dataset consisting of prices and indicators used in the logistic...
