Technical analysis from investor's point of view
Kandera, Filip ; Brada, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kováč, Michal (referee)
The aim of my bachelor's thesis is to define the basic terms of technical analysis, to create automated trading systems based on particular indicators and to analyze their profitability by testing on historical data. The subsequent comparison of systems' yields with government bond yield and systems' yields individually will determine their profitability and evaluate their use in trading the currency pair. I want to achieve this goal by explaining the basic concepts and methods of technical analysis in the theoretical part. In the practical part, automated trading systems will be set up on a trading platform and applied them to annual historical data. At last, I will make recommendations for the use of trading systems according to results. The main benefit of this work is to verify the profitability of automated trading systems and to assess whether they are suitable for real-time trading.

Uživatelsky orientovaný jazyk pro řešení úloh DZD
Kováč, Michal ; Mrázová, Iveta (referee) ; Rauch, Jan (advisor)
The thesis discusses a new visual functional programming language and its use for data mining. The language is called Ferda and forms an integral part of the Ferda system, which is an application that has been created for data mining with the GUHA method. Functions of the language are represented by boxes. The source code is written as a connection of boxes; source files are project files of the Ferda system. The thesis describes the status of the Ferda system before this work from the point of view of the visual programming and describes possible enhancements to source files, then it presents a new basic set of boxes for the Ferda language and proposes other possible extensions of the language. Some of these proposals have been implemented as a part of this thesis. The last part includes examples of the use of the new language for data mining.

Investing of hedge funds using price volatility of investment instruments
Přibáň, Filip ; Brada, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Kováč, Michal (referee)
Volatility of value of assets and revenues is one of the most important factors, which influence current financial markets. Its increase in recent decades is a big risk for financial markets and real economy. But volatility is not just a thread, it is also an opportunity to make profits. It makes sense, that financial instruments that make profits from increase or decrease of volatility on financial markets are very popular nowadays. Because of this in last years investment banks issued a lot of derivatives that make profits from significant changes of value of assets and revenues. Hedge funds want to make profits from volatility as well so they offer their clients funds with sofisticated strategies and different investment attitudes. These strategies and economical models that analyze volatility are very important for us to understand how this phenomenon works. This is not crucial only for traders or portfolio managers, but for macroeconomists as well. Significant movements on currency, stock or bond markets can influence real economy rapidly.
