The goal of this project was to conduct a simulation of the stock market to figure out which trading strategy would be most effective. A neural network program was designed to analyze stock market patterns for the prediction of trends. A six-week simulation was completed using three different trading techniques: day trading, position trading, and trading guided by neural network. The returns of the three methods were strategies are as follows: 64.38% for Neural Network, 61.69% for position trading, and 48.64% for day trading. In comparison, S&P 500 only gained 5.65% for the same period of time. This project gave the student insight into how the stock market works so that he could make informed trading decisions in the future.
