Does algo trading work? (ASH Stock Forecast)

Abstract

We evaluate Ashland Global prediction models with Deductive Inference (ML) and Wilcoxon Sign-Rank Test^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the ASH stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+3 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold ASH stock.

Keywords: ASH, Ashland Global, stock forecast, machine learning based prediction, risk rating, buy-sell behaviour, stock analysis, target price analysis, options and futures.

ASH Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology

We consider Ashland Global Stock Decision Process with Wilcoxon Sign-Rank Test where A is the set of discrete actions of ASH stock holders, F is the set of discrete states, P : S × F × S → R is the transition probability distribution, R : S × F → R is the reaction function, and γ ∈ [0, 1] is a move factor for expectation.^1,2,3,4

F(Wilcoxon Sign-Rank Test)^5,6,7= $\begin{array}{cccc}{p}_{\mathrm{a}1}& p_{\mathrm{a}2}& \dots & p_{1n}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{j1}& p_{j2}& \dots & p_{jn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{k1}& p_{k2}& \dots & p_{kn}\\ & ⋮\\ p_{n1}& p_{n2}& \dots & p_{nn}\end{array}$ X R(Deductive Inference (ML)) X S(n):→ (n+3 month) $\sum _{i=1}^n\left(r_i\right)$

n:Time series to forecast

p:Price signals of ASH stock

j:Nash equilibria

k:Dominated move

a:Best response for target price

Conclusions

Ashland Global assigned short-term Ba3 & long-term Ba2 forecasted stock rating. We evaluate the prediction models Deductive Inference (ML) with Wilcoxon Sign-Rank Test^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the ASH stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+3 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold ASH stock.
