A dynamic trading rule based on filtered flag pattern recognition for stock market price forecasting

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an automatic and dynamic trading rule based on flag pattern recognition.

• The strategy does not depend on the ability of the trader to guess the best configuration of the trading rule.

• We include several filters for the trades, one of them considering the EMA indicator in short and medium timeframes.

• The trading rule is applied on a large intraday database for the DJIA index.

• We can conclude that our proposal is far superior to the previous flag pattern strategies as regards both profitability and risk.
