In stock market or other financial market systems, the technical trading rules are used widely to generate buy and sell alert signals. In each rule, there are many parameters. The users often want to get the best signal series from the in-sample sets, (Here, the best means they can get the most profit, return or Sharpe Ratio, etc), but the best one will not be the best in the out-of-sample sets. Sometimes, it does not work any more. In this paper, the authors set the parameters a sub-range value instead of a single value. In the sub-range, every value will give a better prediction in the out-of-sample sets. The improved result is robust and has a better performance in experience.
