Hi,

I have recently completed a Computational Finance course from Bond University, Australia and prior to undertaking this course, my academic qualifications include Master of Accounting, MBA and Master of IT. I thoroughly enjoyed the subject of Computational Finance and have received opportunity to apply for a PhD. The department where I could do my PhD has a strong emphasis on using Artificial Intelligence for trading purposes (i.e. Neural Networks and SVM) and and I currently use neural networks(SOM) and SVM for my own trading system (on Matlab).

I would like to focus on topics such as position sizing/money management/portfolio management. I have researched on these subjects and am currently doing a literature review, however, I am finding it difficult to focus on a topic that will be practical and valuable in the marketplace.

I am hoping if you could kindly share some ideas on specific topics that I could focus my thesis on. I am very much interested in topics such as position sizing, money management and risk management and based on your knowledge and experience, your thoughts and ideas encompassing these topics would be truly appreciated.

Thanks a lot
 
SVM are used by some clients of my firm. There are articles out there with the use of SVM in finance to generate signals. I will try to find them and post them here. That was a topic I wanted to get to but I haven't had the time.

I know there is support in R for both.
