• Abstract: The article investigates the usage of Informer architecture for building automated trading strategies for high frequency Bitcoin data. Three strategies using Informer model with different loss functions: Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Generalized Mean Absolute Directional Loss (GMADL) and Quantile loss, are proposed and evaluated against the Buy and Hold benchmark and two benchmark strategies based on technical indicators. The evaluation is conducted using data of various frequencies: 5 minute, 15 minute, and 30 minute intervals, over the 6 different periods. Although the Informer-based model with Quantile loss did not outperform the benchmark, two other models achieved better results. The performance of the model using RMSE loss worsens when used with higher frequency data while the model that uses novel GMADL loss function is benefiting from higher frequency data and when trained on 5 minute interval it beat all the other strategies on most of the testing periods. The primary contribution of this study is the application and assessment of the RMSE, GMADL, and Quantile loss functions with the Informer model to forecast future returns, subsequently using these forecasts to develop automated trading strategies. The research provides evidence that employing an Informer model trained with the GMADL loss function can result in superior trading outcomes compared to the buy-and-hold approach.

  The remaining Useful Life (RUL) of equipment is defined as the duration between the current time and its failure. We propose an end-to-end deep learning model based on multi-layer perceptron and long short-term memory layers (LSTM) to predict the RUL. We will discuss how the proposed end-to-end model is able to achieve such good results and compare it to other deep learning and state-of-the-art methods.

  This study first reconstructs three deep learning powered stock trading models and their associated strategies that are representative of distinct approaches to the problem. It then seeks to compare the performance of these strategies from different perspectives through trading simulations ran on three scenarios when the benchmarks are kept at historical low points for extended periods of time. The results show that in extremely adverse market climates, investment portfolios managed by deep learning powered algorithms are able to avert accumulated losses by generating return sequences that shift the constantly negative CSI 300 benchmark return upward.
