Abstract

This chapter presents background information and reviews the existing literature that is relevant to the development of this project. The first part of this chapter presents a brief description of the two existing approaches to analyze the market, in Sect. 2.1 will be described in detail the fundamental and the technical analysis and its tools. A formal definition of an optimization methodology is given in Sect. 2.2. A review of the existence literature about pattern recognition/detection and its techniques to invest in the market is detailed in Sect. 2.3.
