Coevolution of Technical Trading Rules for High Frequency Trading
نویسندگان
چکیده
.Traders make trade decisions specifying entry, exit, and stop loss prices. Technicians often decide on entry, exit, and stop loss prices based on a predefined set of technical rules. In this paper, we employ a method based on grammatical evolution to coevolve technical rules for entry, exit, and stop loss for trading a London Stock Exchange (LSE) based stock in high frequency. We consider the case of two class of investors with risk averse, and loss preferences and build a partial trading frontier given the preferences considered. The performance of the rules evolved is compared to a publicly available trading system called the turtle trading system (TTS) and the best rules produced by our method outperforms

Cooperative Coevolution of Technical Trading Rules
This paper describes how cooperative coevolution can be used for GP of technical trading rules. A number of different methods of choosing collaborators for fitness evaluation are investigated. Several of the methods outperformed, at a statistically significant level, a buy-and-hold strategy for the S&P500 on the testing period from 1990-2002, even taking into account transaction costs.
متن کاملDiscovering Financial Technical Trading Rules Using Genetic Programming with Lambda Abstraction
Keywords: We applied genetic programming with a lambda abstraction module mechanism to learn technical trading rules based on S&P 500 index from 1982 to 2002. The results show strong evidence of excess returns over buy-and-hold after transaction cost. The discovered trading rules can be interpreted easily; each rule uses a combination of one to four widely used technical indicators to make trad...
متن کاملGP-evolved Technical Trading Rules Can Outperform Buy and Hold
This paper presents a number of experiments in which GP-evolved technical trading rules outperform a buy-and-hold strategy on the S&P500, even taking into account transaction costs. Several methodology changes from previous work are discussed and tested. These include a complexity-penalizing factor, a fitness function that considers consistency of performance, and coevolution of a separate buy ...

متن کاملAuthor's Personal Copy Fuzzy Logic, Trading Uncertainty and Technical Trading
From the market microstructure perspective, technical analysis can be profitable when informed traders make systematic mistakes or when uninformed traders have predictable impacts on price. However, chartists face a considerable degree of trading uncertainty because technical indicators such as moving averages are essentially imperfect filters with a nonzero phase shift. Consequently, technical...
