Introduction
Natural computing (NC) can be broadly defined as the development of computer programs and computational algorithms using metaphorical inspiration from systems and phenomena that occur in the natural world. The inspiration for natural computing methodologies typically stem from real-world phenomena which exist in high-dimensional, dynamic, environments characteristics which fit well with the nature of financial markets. Prima facie, this makes natural computing methods interesting for financial applications.
