On the other hand, we find that the buy-and-hold strategy generates higher returns than the trading rule based on ANN only for a “bull” market subperiod. Keywords

Elliott Wave Theory Back in the old school days of the 1920-30s, there was this mad genius and professional accountant named Ralph Nelson Elliott. By analyzing closely 75 years worth of stock data, Elliott discovered that stock markets, thought to behave in a somewhat chaotic manner, actually didn’t.
