چکیده
We have used a linear Genetic Programming system with a multitude of different quotes on financial securities as input in order to evolve an intraday trading strategy for an individual stock, attempting to outperform a simple buy and hold strategy over the same period of time.

Global Supply Chain Management under Carbon Emission Trading Program Using Mixed Integer Programming and Genetic Algorithm
In this paper, the transportation problem under the carbon emission trading program ismodelled by mathematical programming and genetic algorithm. Since green supply chain issuesbecome important and new legislations are taken into account, carbon emissions costs are included inthe total costs of the supply chain. The optimisation model has the ability to minimise the total costsand provides the ...
متن کاملCartesian Genetic Programming for Trading: A Preliminary Investigation
In this paper, a preliminary investigation of Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) for algorithmic intraday trading is conducted. CGP is a recent new variant of genetic programming that differs from traditional approaches in a number of ways, including being able to evolve programs with limited size and with multiple outputs. CGP is used to evolve a predictor for intraday price movements, and tr...
متن کاملGenerating trading rules on the stock markets with genetic programming
Technical analysis is aimed at devising trading rules capable of exploiting short-term 2uctuations on the 3nancial markets. Recent results indicate that this market timing approach may be a viable alternative to the buy-and-hold approach, where the assets are kept over a relatively long time period. In this paper, we propose genetic programming as a means to automatically generate such short-te...
متن کاملEvolving Rule-Based Trading Systems
In this study, a market trading rulebase is optimised using genetic programming (GP). The rulebase is comprised of simple relationships between technical indicators, and generates signals to buy, sell short, and remain inactive. The methodology is applied to prediction of the Standard & Poor’s composite index (02-Jan-1990 to 18-Oct-2001). Two potential market systems are inferred: a simple syst...
متن کاملEvolving intraday foreign exchange trading strategies utilizing multiple instruments price series
We propose a Genetic Programming architecture for the generation of foreign exchange trading strategies. The system’s principal features are the evolution of free-form strategies which do not rely on any prior models and the utilization of price series from multiple instruments as input data. This latter feature constitutes an innovation with respect to previous works documented in literature. ...
