Do agents learn?
Through an evolutionary breeding process, agents with poor performance are regularly being replaced by new offspring agents. The trading rules of these new agents are being created through crossover of the trading rules of the best performing agents. This way (parts of) trading rules that perform well are reproduced and recombined while poor performing trading rules are being removed. This way, the population of trading rules as a whole attempts to adapt to changing market behavior. So the population is adapting rather than learning, as market behavior is dynamic. Technically speaking, agents themselves don’t adapt or learn since their trading rule doesn’t change during their lifetime. (Trading rules only “change” by the replacement of old agents and their trading rules by new agents with new trading rules).
