Abstract: This article proposes an artificial data generating algorithm that is simple and easy to customize. The fundamental concept is to perform random permutation of Monte Carlo generated random numbers which conform to the unconditional probability distribution of the original real time series. Similar to constraint surrogate methods, random permutations are only accepted if a given objective function is minimized. The objective function is selected in order to describe the most important features of the stochastic process. The algorithm is demonstrated by producing simulated log-returns of the S\&P 500 stock index.
