• abstract = "A computational model of a double auction market is introduced and extended to allow a controlled cyclic behaviour in the price signal to be developed. Traders are evolved to maximise profit in this market using Grammatical Evolution, and their properties studied for a range of periods and amplitude of the trend in the price signal. The trader grammar allows decision making based on simple trading rules incorporating the concepts of moving-average oscillators and trading range break-out. The results of this investigation demonstrate that traders evolve a short waiting period between decisions, and that there underlying decision logic reflects the scale of the market price frequency. Evidence is presented that suggests evolving a robust profit-making trader, for a range of price frequency changes, requires the training data to have high frequency variation. More generally, to evolve robust solutions for any complex GP problem, a set of local models or an ensemble and state-based approach, is implied by the results.",
