Popis: Historical stock prices are used to predict the direction of future stock prices. The developed stock price prediction model uses a novel two-layer reasoning approach that employs domain knowledge from technical analysis in the first layer of reasoning to guide a second layer of reasoning based on machine learning. The model is supplemented by a money management strategy that use the historical success of predictions made by the model to determine the amount of capital to invest on future predictions. Based on a number of portfolio simulations with trade signals generated by the model, we conclude that the prediction model successfully outperforms the Oslo Benchmark Index (OSEBX).
