“…The profits generated by a given TS can be measured in different ways, as will be seen next: For instance, the potential profits can be estimated by simply summing the area under the total asset graph during the trading period (Schoreels et al, 2005). Alternatively, another return metric could be the final (total) assets; this means the available capital plus the value of all holdings, at the end of the investment period (Kendall et al, 2003).…”

In this document, the use of a multi-objective evolutionary system to optimize an investment strategy based on the use of Moving Averages is proposed to be used on stock markets, able to yield high returns at minimal risk. Fair and established metrics are used to both evaluate the return and the risk of the optimized strategies. The Pareto Fronts obtained with the training data during the experiments conducted outperform both B&H strategy and the classical approaches that consider solely the absolute return. Additionally, the PF obtained show the inherent trade-off between risk and returns. The experimental results are evaluated using data coming from the principal world markets, namely, the main stock indexes of the most developed economies, such as: NASDAQ, S&P500, FTSE100, DAX30 and NIKKEI225. Although, the experimental results suggest that the positive connection between the gains with training and testing data, usually assumed in the single-objective proposals, is not necessarily true for all cases.
