  abstract =     "In this paper we investigate the profitability of
                 evolved technical trading rules when controlling for
                 data-mining bias. For the first time in the
                 evolutionary computation literature, a comprehensive
                 test for a rule's statistical significance using
                 Hansen's Superior Predictive Ability is explicitly
                 taken into account in the fitness function, and
                 multi-objective evolutionary optimisation is employed
                 to drive the search towards individual rules with
                 better generalisation abilities. Empirical results on a
                 spot foreign-exchange market index suggest that
                 increased out-of-sample performance can be obtained
                 after accounting for data-mining bias effects in a
                 multi-objective fitness function, as compared to a
                 single-criterion fitness measure that considers solely
                 the average return.",
