With computational trading algorithms, which can learn from multiple sources of information, technical trading rules evolved to include artificial intelligence machine learning method using variants of neural networks. Backpropagation neural network outperforms common technical analysis indicators and traditional statistical models. Neural networks are used in machine learning by inputting past historical price data and technical indicators to predict the next output. The training is performed to achieve the lowest mean error between the predicted output and the target which is the actual close.This chapter shows how to incorporate neural network for decision making into AMA’. It architecture of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) Trading ModelHow Nonlinear Autoregressive Neural Networks with Exogenous Inputs (NARX) can be used for tradingHow NARX – Close and Adjustable Moving Average’ (N-CAMA’) Trading Model can be put together to create a hybrid model that is more robust than the average.
