Abstract

We applied genetic programming (GP) to search for a strategy in a technical analysis (TA) indicator candidate pool for stock market trading and optimized it through historical data. The method provides decision rule optimization scheme to deal with problems in the real trading in financial market, and it optimizes strategies in relatively complicated contents. GP is used to construct the condition in decision rule with different logical operations. The method has been applied to the optimization of investment strategies with good return results in simulation experiments.
