Abstract

A group trading strategy optimization portfolio algorithm was presented in the literature to find out an optimal group trading strategy portfolio (GTSP) to make trading decisions. In the real situation, traders have confronted to make decision by considering multiobjective goals. This paper thus proposes a MOGA-based algorithm to find a set of Pareto solutions for investors to make more useful trading plans, where each solution is a GTSP. To encode a GTSP, the candidate trading strategies are first produced according to the chosen technical indices. Then, a subset of the candidate trading strategies is selected using the determined ranking functions. Based on the subset of the trading strategies, the population is initialized according to the encoding scheme. The two objective functions are used to evaluate the fitness values of chromosomes to discover non-dominated solutions. The first objective function is composed of the return and risk factors. The second objective function is consisted of the grouping and weight balances. The genetic operators, including crossover, mutation, and inversion are executed to generate new offspring. Experiments on a financial dataset were also made to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
