In Designing Stock Market Trading Systems Bruce Vanstone and Tobias Hahn guide you through their tried and tested methodology for building rule-based stock market trading systems using both fundamental and technical data. This book shows the steps required to design and test a trading system until a trading edge is found, how to use artificial neural networks and soft computing to discover an edge and exploit it fully. Learn how to build trading systems with greater insight and dependability than ever before Most trading systems today fail to incorporate data from existing research into their operation. This is where Vanstone and Hahn's methodology is unique. Designed to integrate the best of past research on the workings of financial markets into the building of new trading systems, this synthesis helps produce stock market trading systems with unrivalled depth and accuracy. This book therefore includes a detailed review of key academic research, showing how to test existing research, how to take advantage of it by developing it into a rule-based trading system, and how to improve it with artificial intelligence techniques. The ideas and methods described in this book have been tried and tested in the heat of the market. They have been used by hedge funds to build their trading systems. Now you can use them too.

Consistent, benchmark-beating growth, combined with reduced risk, are the Holy Grail of traders everywhere. Laurens Bensdorp has been achieving both for more than a decade. By combining multiple quantitative trading systems that perform well in different types of markets--bull, bear, or sideways--his overall systematized and automated system delivers superlative results regardless of overall market behavior. In his second book, Automated Stock Trading Systems, Bensdorp details a non-correlated, multi-system approach you can understand and build to suit yourself. Using historical price action to develop statistical edges, his combined, automated systems have been shown to deliver simulated consistent high double-digit returns with very low draw downs for the last 24 years, no matter what the market indices have done. By following his approach, traders can achieve reliable, superlative returns without excessive risk.

Most people know there is potential to make big money in the stock market, but they don't know how to get started. This work guides readers step by step through the authors' methods for building rule-based stock market trading systems.
