Summary:The problem of identifying the trend in financial data series in order to forecast them for profit increase is addressed using genetic programming (GP). We enhance a GP system that searches for polynomial models of financial data series and relate it to a traditional GP manipulating functional models. Two of the key issues in the development are: 1) preprocessing of the series which includes data transformations and embedding; and 2) design of a proper fitness function that navigates the search by favouring parsimonious and predictive models. The two GP systems are applied for stock market analysis, and examined with real Tokyo Stock Exchange data. Using statistical and economical measures to estimate the results, we show that the GP could evolve profitable polynomials
