摘要: 随着全球经济和金融市场的发展,金融资产的价量特征呈现出非线性化演进趋势。考虑到深度学习技术在复杂非线性系统建模方面的优势,越来越多的研究者将深度学习引入到金融分析领域。本文使用深度学习算法分析A股行业指数的技术指标,以提取日频价格序列的变化特征,预测行业指数的涨跌情况,并在A股28个行业指数2000—2017年数据集上进行了实证检验。结果表明,深度学习算法对行业指数的涨跌类型具有一定的预测能力,利用该算法所做出的上涨预测具有较高的可信度,可作为判断指数走势的重要参考;对于不同的行业指数,深度学习算法的预测能力存在差异,上涨预测准确率在55%~65%范围内变动;行业指数在大幅下跌与大幅上涨前夕的技术指标特征具有相似性,深度学习算法对于这两类情形的区分能力较弱。

Abstract: Investment strategies based on technical analysis have attracted much attention from researchers and investors in A-share market. With the evolution of financial markets, the characteristics of asset price become more and more complicated, and some researchers have pointed out that the performances of classical linear models suffer noticeable degradation in terms of predicting asset price. Considering that deep learning techniques are efficient at capturing intricate quantitative models in nonlinear system, deep-learning-based methods have been introduced into the fields of economic and financial analysis recently. In this paper, deep neutral network (DNN) is applied to analyze the technical indicators and predict the falling and rising tendency of sector indexes in A-share market. The results of empirical analysis indicate that DNN has certain ability in technical analysis. The DNN-based technical analysis method contains four major steps. Firstly, a 36-dimension vector of technical indicators is computed to represent the technical states of sector indexes. Secondly, in order to reduce the dimension of input data and improve the performance of the DNN system, the data of technical indicators are compressed by using two-directional two-dimensional principle component analysis ((2D)2PCA). Thirdly, the DNN system is trained to obtain optimized network coefficients by using historical data. Finally, the test technical features are inputted into DNN to predict the tendency of the sector indexes. The proposed method is validated by using trading data of 28 sector indexes in A-share market between 2000/01/04 and 2017/07/20. Results of empirical test show that the DNN-based method improves the accuracy for predicting the tendency of sector indexes in comparison with methods based on support vector machine (SVM). Furthermore, the prediction accuracy reaches 55%~65% when the DNN-based method is used to distinguish rise and falling tendency, which again implies the potential application value of DNN in technical analysis in A-share markets.
