    neural systems

    You can try Trading System Lab, which is based not on neural networks but on genetic programming: http://www.tradingsystemlab.com/home.aspx I find it fascinating but I cannot afford it. It sells for 60K + 20 K yearly after the first two years. This is a white box. It finds patterns and...

    Making money in the stock market should be easy

    Funny it is. The mix defies every known economic theory. I was totally surprised when I read that the governor of that state paid more than $4,000 for intraday personal services, you know what I mean. I was also surprised to read some place that the price was much lower a couple of years...

    Fidelity Magellan calls bottom in financials

    This is the type of nonsense you read in news media. A gain can only be realized after they close positions. Since they decided to buy financial stocks and probably invested billions, they are the ones who mostly rallied these stocks. There is nothing mystical about that. Stocks don't go up...

    Why is the dollar getting stronger?

    Good article but quite general, with statements like: "My data mining efforts use neural networks and chaos theory extensively." It does not disclose any specific methods or techniques to do data mining. Here is a program that actually does algorithmic data mining and it's also a...

    It is impossible

    Where did you see my dissagreement? Are you having a bad day or something? Do you have anything of value to contribute? Bill

    It is impossible

    The numbers sound very reasonable to me since most trade noise and end up either slightly up or down. But I constantly hear about this 95% losers and if it is true then something must befundamentally wrong or incomprehensible. Bill

    It is impossible

    Please, do not convert this thread into another zero-sum debate. I posed specific questions that have nothing to do directly with the zero-sum game or not. I appreciate your attention. Bill
