Heuristic Algebra and LLM Assisted Genetic Algorithms for Trading Strategy Development

A research project applying heuristic algebra and LLM-assisted genetic algorithms to trading strategy development. The paper frames strategy evolution as search over heuristic-algebra genomes, then studies the approach empirically across markets.

What it is

The paper is a 16-page cross-market empirical study combining:

  • heuristic algebra
  • LLM assistance
  • genetic algorithms
  • quantitative trading
  • regime detection
  • walk-forward evaluation
  • futures-market strategy development

The core idea is to evolve trading strategies over structured heuristic-algebra representations rather than relying only on conventional parameter search.

Why it matters

This project sits directly at the junction of Phase 3 and Phase 4:

  • Phase 3 — trading strategy design, futures markets, systematic research
  • Phase 4 — heuristic algebra as a formal system for structured search and reasoning

It extends heuristic algebra from prompt scaffolds into trading strategy development and empirical market testing.
