I would like to propose a different twist on the idea of developing a Rapid Miner project that may be easier to develop and more beneficial right away for everyone. The idea would be to develop a Rapid Miner testing/evaluation method to identify trends and/or common themes in past trade...

All- I am certainly still interested in collaboratively working on a Rapid Miner project. Wheat seems like a good choice to me for a market to study based on the recent events in the market. Also, I have a dotnetnuke site I would be willing to customize to facilitate the project and...

Is anyone using (or considering using) Amazon EC2 for a trading based application (data analysis, ATS or something else) ? If so, any initial thoughts on it? It seems like a great option to get something up and running without all of the hassles of running a data center or worrying about...

Jerry- I would most definitely be interested in participating in this group. I did my undergrad work in economics & had a lot of statistics work as well. I have been trading for several years and am interested in incorporating these type of techniques into my trading methods. I am currently...

Nitro- What are your thoughts/opinions on running VMWare on trading machines? Regards, Eric

nitro- great thread. I do not have any experience in setting up clearing operations but I have experience in other kinds of outsourcing work (i.e. Call Center, Data Processing, Accounting, etc.) The main items I would add to this thread would be to not forget to include some of the less...

Great Journal. I have enjoyed reading it quite a bit this year. I am adding seasonal spread trading to my trading methods this year. Do you intend on doing anything differently this year based on your experience in 2007? Best of Luck in 2008.

I have been reading this journal since its inception - Great journal. In looking at the DAX chart yesterday it appears there was a large drop yesterday around 10am EST. Was there an economic report that came out around that time? If so, does your trading method stay out of the market...
