Evolutionary Ensemble for Stock Prediction

We propose a genetic ensemble of recurrent neural networks for stock prediction model. The genetic algorithm tunes neural networks in a two-dimensional and parallel framework. The ensemble makes the decision of buying or selling more conservative. It showed notable improvement on the average over not only the buy-and-hold strategy but also other traditional ensemble approaches.
