That is why our instinctive-subconscious awareness is faster, smarter, wiser, more intelligent, more spontaneous, more creative and more adaptive, than the shallow, surface conscious awareness of our abstractively trained tool-brain

Sharks and Cockroaches are perhaps an example of evolution whereby further mutations of their Genes are not considered adaptive in their present environment, and their preprogrammed DNA have been fully realized, so they cease to evolve further in any dramatic way

However, this theory of the evolution of creation and human beings from natural selection has been preconceived as a definition that implies that the process of evolution is no more than the affects of random chance, and as such, the product of an accident or mistake that has become adaptive

In this section, we covered your competition in the marketplace, the variables that are most important, the market as a complex adaptive system, the difference between investing and speculating, and how (and where) to find opportunities in the market
57.
I have touched upon this already, but as we have learned, the stock market, as well as the general economy is a complex adaptive system
58.
There is no such formula that can accurately calculate the adaptive complexity that is the stock market all the time

One interesting newcomer is Andrew Lo’s adaptive markets hypothesis (2004), which begins to apply evolutionary and ecological principles to financial markets
60.
Inflation expectations were insufficiently adaptive: investors should have looked more at the most recent year’s inflation than the past decade’s inflation when setting expectations:• It seems harsh and hindsighted to call this irrational, given that the inflation process was changing dramatically

Andrew Lo’s adaptive markets hypothesis (see Section 5

Later evidence suggests that survey expectations tend to be adaptive (reflecting past inflation experience, with declining weights)

• The possibility of recurring optimizations—the optimization procedure should be repeated continually as the strategy advances through price history (adaptive optimization)
64.
The algorithm of the trading strategy may provide for the adaptive optimization procedure
65.
To formally describe the adaptive optimization, let us consider the description of strategy S(P), where P is the vector of strategy parameters
66.
Then the trading algorithm with adaptive optimization is the following
67.
In many cases adaptive optimization allows creating strategies that are more robust (that is, less sensitive) to changing market phases
68.
However, it should be clearly noted that adaptive optimization does not eliminate the overfitting problem—it is still just an optimization, although with a more complicated structure
69.
This is why it’s key to have adaptive tools at your disposal to handle today’s ever-changing market conditions

Adaptive filters can have several different meanings
71.
For example, Perry Kaufman's adaptive moving average (KAMA)1 and Tushar Chande's variable index dynamic average (VIDYA)2 adapt to changes in volatility
72.
The adaptive filters discussed in this chapter are the familiar Stochastic, relative strength index (RSI), commodity channel index (CCI), and band-pass filter
73.
The adaptive RSI starts with the computation of the dominant cycle using the autocorrelation periodogram approach
74.
Code Listing 11-1 contains the EasyLanguage code for the adaptive RSI, and the identification of the RSI indicator itself following the dominant cycle calculation is noted by the comment near the end
75.
The variable Stoc is computed as the ratio of the current value of Filt to the price range and is the unfiltered value of the adaptive stochastic
76.
The adaptive CCI indicator starts with the computation of the dominant cycle using the autocorrelation periodogram approach
77.
Code Listing 11-3 contains the EasyLanguage code for the adaptive CCI indicator, and the identification of the indicator itself is noted by the comment near the end following the dominant cycle calculation
78.
A convenient trigger line is included in the adaptive band-pass filter to signal the more highly likely buy and sell points
79.
The trigger is compute as 90 percent of the amplitude of the adaptive band-pass filter line and is delayed by one bar
80.
It is instructive to view the adaptive indicators on a single chart so they can be compared on a head-to-head basis
81.
To implement the Fisher transform on the adaptive RSI, replace the plot statements of Code Listing 11-1 with the following code fragment:
82.
An example of the adaptive RSI using the Fisher transform is shown in Figure 15
83.

Part of the solution, as discussed in Chapter 11, is to make the indicator adaptive to the measured cycle period
89.
These resemblances, though so intimately connected with the whole life of the being, are ranked as merely "adaptive or analogical characters;" but to the consideration of these resemblances we shall recur
90.
We are least likely in the modifications of these organs to mistake a merely adaptive for an essential character
91.
Nevertheless, their importance has sometimes been exaggerated, owing to the adaptive characters of larvae not having been excluded; in order to show this, Fritz Muller arranged, by the aid of such characters alone, the great class of crustaceans, and the arrangement did not prove a natural one
92.
We can understand, on the above views, the very important distinction between real affinities and analogical or adaptive resemblances
93.
On the view of characters being of real importance for classification, only in so far as they reveal descent, we can clearly understand why analogical or adaptive characters, although of the utmost importance to the welfare of the being, are almost valueless to the systematist
94.
As these points of affinity are believed to be real and not merely adaptive, they must be due in accordance with our view to inheritance from a common progenitor
95.
We can understand why we value certain resemblances far more than others; why we use rudimentary and useless organs, or others of trifling physiological importance; why, in finding the relations between one group and another, we summarily reject analogical or adaptive characters, and yet use these same characters within the limits of the same group
96.
In this chapter I have attempted to show that the arrangement of all organic beings throughout all time in groups under groups—that the nature of the relationships by which all living and extinct organisms are united by complex, radiating, and circuitous lines of affinities into a few grand classes—the rules followed and the difficulties encountered by naturalists in their classifications—the value set upon characters, if constant and prevalent, whether of high or of the most trifling importance, or, as with rudimentary organs of no importance—the wide opposition in value between analogical or adaptive characters, and characters of true affinity; and other such rules—all naturally follow if we admit the common parentage of allied forms, together with their modification through variation and natural selection, with the contingencies of extinction and divergence of character
