Repka, Martin ; MSc, Martin Volko (referee) ; Budík, Jan (advisor)
This thesis focuses on automated trading systems for financial markets trading. It describes theoretical background of financial markets, different technical analysis approaches and theoretical knowledge about automated trading systems. The output of the present paper is a diversified portfolio comprising four different investment models aimed to trading futures contracts of cocoa and gold. The portfolio tested on market data from the first quarter 2013 achieved 46.74% increase on the initial equity. The systems have been designed in Adaptrade Builder software using genetic algorithms and subsequently tested in the MetaTrader trading platform. They have been finally optimized using sensitivity analysis.

Making an investment portfolio of unit trusts by using the fuzzy multiple criteria decision making methods
Borovička, Adam ; Fiala, Petr (advisor) ; Zornerová, Helena (referee) ; Pekár, Juraj (referee)
The thesis deals with investment decision making. It starts from the decision making situation about the making of an investment portfolio of the open unit trusts. The whole decision making process is described, namely the methodical approaches used in terms of the portfolio making procedure. Thus, the main part of this paper focuses on a detailed description of an algorithm of the fuzzy weight estimation method, fuzzy multiple criteria evaluation method and fuzzy multiple objective programming method. The methods are proposed on the basis of current concepts; they conclude the new ideas as well. The fuzzy weight estimation method is able to calculate the weights of criteria according to their linguistically expressed importance. The fuzzy multiple criteria evaluation method accepts uncertain input data in the form of the fuzzy numbers. The alternatives are evaluated by the concept of the preference relations. This method provides a division of the alternatives into the effective and ineffective. The fuzzy multiple objective programming method also works with the uncertain elements as fuzzy numbers. To solve the particular mathematical models, the Bellman's optimality approach is applied. The method is proposed in the interactive form. The decision maker can change a current solution by his/her additional (vague) preferences. The proposed concepts form the two-phase decision making procedure that is applied in the practical situation of the portfolio making in the field of the capital market with open unit trusts offered by the Česká spořitelna investment company. Two types of investors are defined, the investment situations are described, and the results are analyzed in detail. The decision making theory, the fuzzy sets theory and the capital market of collective investment, or with unit trusts, are introduced in a necessary scope. The instigation of my dissertation is to solve the real decision making situation. The investment decision making process is described and the methodical approaches are proposed in order to make the portfolio of unit trusts.

Plaček, Vilém ; Borovička, Adam (advisor) ; Zouhar, Jan (referee)
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to help an investor with assembling portfolio investment. Data are acquired using expert approach. Firstly I introduce issues of portfolio characteristics, investment instruments and portfolio theory. Portfolio theory is based on work of H. Markowitz. Introducing operation research is very important for assembling optimal portfolio and it uses mathematical models for achieving optimal solution. Firstly it is necessary to compile mathematical model based on investor's requirements that are using portfolio and investment characteristics in order to meet the requirements. The optimal portfolio is being looked at in three different ways using three different mathematical models. Each one of them follows diverse goals. In the end all models and their results are compared and their advantages and disadvantages are described.

Analysis of stocks on the chosen branch of the Stock Exchange using the methods of technical and fundamental analysis
URBANOVÁ, Kateřina
The purpose of this thesis was to analyze selected sectors of the stock exchange through methods of technical and fundamental analysis and to find the most appropriate investment strategy based on the results. At first were subjected to corell and runs tests. These tests should have proven or disproven the existence of weak form of efficiency. In the fundamental analysis was chosen the method of comparation of alpha coefficient and average monthly revenues. The technical analysis tested of moving averages and monitoring the signals using oscillators. The last step was a comparison of investment methods and strategies, found investment strategy and made a investment porfolio.
