SIR/GA Approach

Identifying Patterns in Financial Markets

Abstract

In this chapter, the new approach to pattern discovery will be presented in detail. The objective of this research is to develop a pattern discovery algorithm that combines ideas from how humans identify patterns and automatic classification of the patterns. The method uses points that normally a human would consider important and then creates rules to describe the relationship between them. Then using GA and SAX makes a search for the relevant patterns in order to detect opportunities to enter/exit the market. This new approach, Symbolic Important Rules (SIR), is based on two different ideas from the related work: PIPs with rules and SAX representation. Also, the system’s architecture and each of its modules that support this approach will be described later in this chapter.
