More Details: Devising a financial trading strategy that allows for long-term gains is a very common problem in finance. This paper aims to formulate a mathematically rigorous framework for the problem and compare and contrast the results obtained. The main approach considered is based on Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs). Within the DBN setting, a long-term as well as a short-term trading strategy are considered and applied on twelve equities obtained from developed and developing markets. It is concluded that both the long-term and the medium-term strategies proposed in this paper outperform the benchmark buy-and-hold (B&H) trading strategy. Despite the clear advantages of the former trading strategies, the limitations of this model are discussed along with possible improvements.
