The Effectiveness of the Automatic System of Fuzzy Logic-Based Technical Patterns Recognition: Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange

Journal Title: Advances in Mathematical Finance and Applications - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 3

Abstract

The present research proposes an automatic system based on moving average (MA) and fuzzy logic to recognize technical analysis patterns including head and shoulder patterns, triangle patterns and broadening patterns in the Tehran Stock Exchange. The automatic system was used on 38 indicators of Tehran Stock Exchange within the period 2014-2017 in order to evaluate the effectiveness of technical patterns. Having compared the conditional distribution of daily returns under the condition of the discovered patterns and the unconditional distribution of returns at various levels of confidence driven from fuzzy logic with the mean returns of all normalized market indicators, we observed that in the desired period, after recognizing the pattern, all patterns investigated at the confidence level 0.95 with a fuzzy point 0.5 contained useful information, practically leading to abnormal returns.
