Portfolio Optimization in Both Long and Short Selling Trading Using Trend Ratios and Quantum-Inspired Evolutionary Algorithms

Stock selection is the first problem that investors encounter when investing in the stock market and is paramount. The Sharpe ratio is a common assessment strategy. However, the Sharpe ratio considers an uptrend portfolio high risk because it assesses portfolio risk using standard deviations. Hence,...

The Sharpe ratio is a common assessment strategy. However, the Sharpe ratio considers an uptrend portfolio high risk because it assesses portfolio risk using standard deviations.
