Optimisation in Finance: Building the Optimal Trading Strategy
In a previous example, it was shown how MATLAB can be used to backtest a simple trading strategy in 8 lines of code, where the trading strategy was developed based on the Relative Strength (RS) index. In this article, I take Kawee’s work a step further and investigate if we can optimise the buy and sell RS index values to maximise our returns. The buy and sell signals are originally chosen at an RS Index of 40 and 70 respectively. Over a six-year period, this gave approximately 18% return-on-equity. Can this be improved?
AI in Industry 4.0: Getting started with Machine Learning
Machine learning has made its mark! From medical diagnostic tools, speech recognition (think Siri and Alexa) to movie recommendations and predictive maintenance; machine learning techniques are being used to make critical business and life decisions.
AI in Industry 4.0: Got Big Data?
Accessing and processing of data can be done entirely within MATLAB, no matter where it might be stored, including SQL/NoSQL databases, Spark™, and/or Hadoop®. Find out how you can tackle Big Data with MATLAB
AI in Finance: Constructing a Trading Strategy Using Deep Learning
In this article, you will note the ease with which you can train and validate a neural network, and then see how this is applied by means of a trading strategy. By simple manipulations of historical data, we can leverage the flexibility of deep learning in MATLAB to generate future predictions of time series data, with reasonable precision.
AI in Finance – Trading: Clustering
Pairs trading is a popular trading strategy. However, it can be shrouded in statistics. By leveraging the strengths of MATLAB’s machine learning and statistics capabilities, you too can formulate your own pairs trading strategies. In this example, we examine 300 stocks from the S&P 500 and group them into clusters of stocks such that each […]
AI in Industry 4.0: How do I access my data?
What do smart homes, self-driving cars, intelligent factory condition monitoring and fault diagnosis have in common? They all need data This data often exists in several different formats The data changes with time The first step in any Machine Learning workflow involves accessing the data you want to work with. If you have worked with […]
A little magic called LOGICAL INDEXING
In MATLAB; row, column and linear indexing use integer indices. While most MATLAB users are familiar with normal numerical indexing into vectors, matrices etc. MATLAB also provides a very efficient technique called logical indexing, where you use logical variables to index into data, extracting information that satisfies a condition. In this article, you will learn […]

Happy Valentine’s Day! We heart MATLAB!
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Application Engineers Verushen and Boitumelo created our very own heart GIF using MATLAB. Find out how you can create your own.
Dynamic System Modelling in MATLAB
How do you write code for a dynamic process making sure that all states are accurately retained for future time steps? Keeping track of states in a dynamic process is complicated as the outputs are determined by past states and the current input. This means that the code must keep track of past values and […]
