Automated Trading. Technical Analysis. Fibonacci. Parabolic SAR.Abstract
Investments based on technical analysis have been used more frequently to examine the strategic performance of automated negotiations through an investment algorithm, in particular using parabolic SAR indicators and Fibonacci. This work used the scenario evaluation to later compare their results in relation to the buy and hold strategy. Scenarios differ from the use of risk factors, timeframes and price levels. Backrests were carried out for a period from January 20015 to April 2017 to compare the strategies. As a result, it was noticed that the use of technical analysis through automated trading can result in profits higher than buy and hold. However, such a form of trading presents a high level of volatility.
