Dear filter community at SF, it is so cool to have these forums to talk to people who are into financial modeling. I have been working with financial algorithms for some years already, most of them adaptative momentum algorithms and recently I finished my work on Genetic Programming using technical analysis indicators on the NASDAQ 100 shares. And since everyone shares filter and trading knowledge in here I want to invite you to check the research I’ve done. Don’t worry this is not a black box, neither a gray one, pure financial modeling research. I hope you find it interesting and that you post your opinions.

Cocky,
I looked under the link you provided and have taken a quick look at the material. You have done some good work there. BUT it is my impression that this whole approach smells an awful lot like CURVE FITTING ( I may be wrong). After being in the business of buying and selling stocks for more than 20 years I have come across some mighty looking "grand schemes" which all blew up in real time. The market has a way of frustrating all attempts for "get rich quickly" approaches.

Koronbock thnx, Genetic Programming is a way of finding solutions to big problems, thru past data processing. So curve fitting may somehow ring a bell, but the thing is that the process result; are the best solutions possible. In this case stock buying filters, this is no get rich quick scheme, only an approach to finding the best solutions available with technical analysis indicators. That same idea could be used with SF database and would surely find some incredible stuff. Anyway thnx for looking.

Very interesting... Very cool.

Any chance you can include RSI(2)?

Look very interesting. Sounded somewhat like a book I read called The New Technical Trader by Tushar S. Chande & Stanley Kroll. It was written 94, but alot of the new indicators at that time he came up with were similiar.

Thanks for the post

Performed a simulation introducing rsi(2) into the variables, and another using rsi(2) only, the results are here:

Am I reading this right?

GENERATION:2 *VALUE:0.920388 ACCURACY:0.523240 GAINS:1.706045 AVERAGE_GAINS:1.012911 WIN/LOSS_RATIO:86/100

GENERATION:99 *VALUE:1.275498 ACCURACY:0.583431 GAINS:2.107434 AVERAGE_GAINS:1.024192 WIN/LOSS_RATIO:97/100

Use RSI(2) and you win from 86 - 97 times out of 100!??!!

Wait till the StockHolyGrail sees this!

The win/loss ratio is how many stocks in the NASDAQ 100 where the filter did perform did the filter make money instead of loosing.
86 of the 100 in 14 using that particular algorithm it did not make money. But the times it did can be read in the ACCURACY result.

I really think that Holygrail uses rsi2 in a different way, which my program could not find because it does not compare variables to constants so rsi(2) ( variable ) < 1 ( constant ) can’t arise as a solution in the process of my program.
