Add To MetaCart

Abstract:

This study examines the potential of an evolutionary automatic programming methodology to uncover a series of useful technical trading rules for the UK FTSE 100 stock index. Index values for the period 26/4/1984 to 4/12/1997 are used to train and test the model. The preliminary ndings indicate that the methodology has much potential, outperforming the benchmark strategy adopted.
