Abstract:
This paper presents two methods for increasing comprehensibility in technical trading rules produced by Genetic Programming. For this application domain adding a complexity penalizing factor to the objective fitness function also avoids overfitting the training data. Using pre-computed derived technical indicators, although it biases the search, can express complexity while retaining comprehensibility.
