What are the most successful trading algorithms? (CTAS Stock Forecast)

Abstract

We evaluate Cintas prediction models with Active Learning (ML) and Ridge Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the CTAS stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+16 weeks) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Sell CTAS stock.

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

Key Points

1. How accurate is machine learning in stock market?
2. What is prediction model?
3. Can stock prices be predicted?

CTAS Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology

We consider Cintas Stock Decision Process with Ridge Regression where A is the set of discrete actions of CTAS 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(Ridge Regression)^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(Active Learning (ML)) X S(n):→ (n+16 weeks) $\overrightarrow{R}=\left(r_1,r_2,r_3\right)$

n:Time series to forecast

p:Price signals of CTAS stock

j:Nash equilibria

k:Dominated move

a:Best response for target price

Y axis: *Potential Impact% (The higher the percentage value, the more likely the price will deviate.)

Z axis (Yellow to Green): *Technical Analysis%

Conclusions

Cintas assigned short-term Ba3 & long-term B1 forecasted stock rating. We evaluate the prediction models Active Learning (ML) with Ridge Regression^1,2,3,4 and conclude that the CTAS stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+16 weeks) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Sell CTAS stock.
