Accurate forecasting of directional changes in stock prices is important for algorithmic trading and investment management. Technical analysis has been successfully used in financial forecasting and recently researchers have explored the optimization of parameters for technical indicators. This study investigates the relationship between the window size used for calculating technical indicators and the accuracy of one-step-ahead (variable steps) forecasting. The directions of the future price movements are predicted using technical analysis and machine learning algorithms. Results show a correlation between window size and forecasting step size for the Support Vector Machines approach but not for the other approaches.
