I'd like to know what are, if any, the applications of linear/non linear programming optimization techniques for financial markets.

I'm a business major, and I want to find an argument for my thesis that unites these techniques with technical analysis for investments on futures, CFD, leverage certificates, commodities (i.e. to say Fibonacci retracements, candlesticks, Elliott waves etc.).

Thanks in advance for any help!

    $\begingroup$ This does not seem to focus on statistics or machine learning. Consider moving this to Quantitative Finance Stack Exchange instead. Regarding the actual question, portfolio optimization requires linear and/or nonlinear programming. E.g. minimize expected shortfall given a target expected return. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Portfolio optimization would be the first place to look. That should have been covered (at least the basics) in intro investments. $\endgroup$
