  • Abstract
    A grammatical evolutionary model (GE) is used to evolve trading strategies for a limit-order book model. A modified version of a limit-order book generator, based on the original work of Maslov, is used to produce limit-order book tick data. The evolved trading strategies demonstrate profit-making ability even though the Maslov model is fundamentally based on random behaviour.
