abstract = "Many heuristic methods or evolutionary algorithms such
as Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Genetic Programming (GP)
are common approaches used in financial applications.
Determining the best time to buy and sell in a stock
market, and thereby maximising the profit with lower
risks are important issues in financial research.
Recent researches have used trading rules based on
technical analysis to address this problem. These rules
can determine trading times by analysing the value of
technical indicators. In other words, we can make
trading rules by analysing the value of technical
indicators. A simple example of a trading rule would
be, if one technical indicator's value achieves the
pre-defined value, then we can buy or sell stocks. A
combination of trading rules would become a trading
strategy. The process of making trading strategies can
be formulated as a combinatorial optimisation problem.
In this paper, a novel method which can be applied to a
trading system is proposed. First, the proposed system
uses the Quantum-inspired Tabu Search (QTS) algorithm
to find the optimal combination of trading rules.
Second, it uses sliding window to avoid the major
problem of over-fitting. The experiment results of
earning profit show much better performance than other
approaches. Especially, the proposed method outperforms
Buy & Hold method which is a common benchmark in this
field.",
