Financial time series forecasting certainly is the case of a predictive modeling process with many challenges, mainly because the temporal structure of the data. Genetic programming, as a particular variation of genetic algorithms, can be used to as a feature engineering, importance and selection process all at once, it can provide highly interpretable symbolic features that have low colinearity among them and yet high correlation with a target variable. We present the use of such method for generating symbolic features from endogenous linear and autoregressive variables, along with a Multi-Layer Perceptron, to construct a binary predictor for the price of Ethereum cryptocurrency.

Because of the extensive explorations, this project was executed in a computing cluster at the ITESO university

Other progress is for the paper format in order to submit some of the findings to a journal ...
