Abstract
This paper presents results of neural network based trend prediction for equity markets.
Raw equity exchange data is pre-processed before being fed into a series of neural
networks. The use of Self Organising Maps (SOM) is investigated as a data classification
method to limit neural network inputs and training data requirements. The resulting primary
simulation is a neural network that can prediction whether the next trading period will be,
on average, higher or lower than the current. Combinations of pre-processing and feature
extracting SOM’s are investigated to determine the more optimal system configuration.
