Quote from subes:
I see, you mentioned Volume in a previous post if I remember correctly. In fact I kind of have not looked at using volume for indicators that much yet (even though the book Trading as a Business suggests it). Also it seems the numbers represent some strategy that operates on them...
It seems this is the article you mean: http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-03-07/ansys-aids-innovation-with-its-simulation-software
Is the online version complete or should I order the issue by mail?
I guess the message here is to try to be as good in model building (strategy development) as one is in creating real life things (actual trading). And sometimes old knowledge can lead to the key with which something new and successful can be created, even though the original knowledge did not purpose this.
Ok, so the pages tabbed represent the main contributions to the theme you got. 
Though what do you mean with the numbers in braces 30 (3) and 47 (2)? Does this represent the numbering of the parts of four? Where is number one then? 
Also thanks for the strenghening words again!
(3) is three tabs on one page. I write stuff on the tabs.
Go to the Ansys website. Next get an interview for an internship. Allow them to send you checks for getting your PhD done.
In mathematics, to solve problems you create criteria, filters, formulae, rules, and strategies.
All of these can be optimized. You have built a model for handling these kinds of ingredients.
As we both notice, there has to be a beginning. To find the beginning a person needs to consider the foundations of various types of mathematics. I am hammering on you to begin to consider more than the dependent variable.
Do take the time to notice the other input you are getting. these people here in ET have a common element of Fear and anxiety. Some even lead with anger.
In the financial industry, everyone has taken a shortcut to not be successful. All this wasted motion is done with the dependent variable. So nothing is succeeding by the standard of the performance of the market. The full offer of the markets.
In mathematics, a person plays with the independent variables to get the optimum out of the dependent variables.
You have built shells to be able to do monitoring and analysis of the variables that make the market tick. These are indirectly obtained by looking around at the financial industry.
At a portfolio operating level its ouput is the dependent variable results. Namely price change to extract the "offer".
You did focus on undervalued instruments.
My focus was to define the relationship of the independent variable and how it completely defined the dependent variable.
Ansys is an example of using the relationships in physics to get the best result of a construction to serve a purpose.
You are doing Ansys from the vantage point of the operation of the financial industry. The financial industry is very broken and not like the Laws of Physics.
I spent a little time 55 years ago to find the relationship of the independent variable and the dependent variable.
If I had a platform that works mathematically, I could make it work as an ATS. Platforms have not caught up with mathematics as yet. No problem; I just code what is there and notice the specific failures and work around them mentally in real time to take the full offer.
You have designed a tool for business people in the finacial industry. It keeps working since it is possible to adjust it within a part of regular business hours. Everyone who is smart will use it to further their operations. You are advancing the state of the art.
My goal that was achieved was to be able to take the full offer of the market all of the time. I do this by having a leading indicator of price that gives a signal for each information group. I am going to do another demo for this perfomance level as 2013 unfolds. I will take 50K and turn it into 2.5 million four times in succession. Then I will go away.
The market has but one paradigm. This defines and connects the variables and dictates their measure.
A deduction can be made from the "nature" of the markets according to economic and econometric theory. That is, markets cycle.
Their cycle halves are symmetric in operation. That is the same natural effects are in force for rising as well as falling markets. We all maintain a neutral bias as a consequence.
A person has to reason through how and why markets work.
The answer is Behavioral Finance. You are modelling human behavior in the market place. You are providing a real time expression for the ripples, waves and tides of the market place all based on collectable information and information theory.
I was a fly on the wall during significant times of discovery. Braithwaite and Mandelbrot brought a lot to bear on what is what. Luckily, I was made an MTS while in grad school and as an emnployee of BTL. They let me skip Kelly College. Then IBM put me through Theoretical Physics to tune up my brain.
So look at the human "nature" of large systems. They are noise free, have no flaws, and there are no anomalies.
People who think these things exist have not completed their walk down the path.
To avoid Einstein's definition of insanity, please consider how all the pieces always fit together the same way.
The independent variable is people who determine how and why the dependent variable (price) behaves and operates in the market system.
You MUST discover the pillars of the system and then use them to form the dynamic of the system. Systems Analysis has a structure. Within the defined structure a process ensues. Notice that the process going on in the system produces results.
The goal is to have these results by effectively and efficiently extracting the offer of the system.
All humans have automatic detection systems. In ET, all you see is persons with fear, anxiety and anger. This is from a long long highly developed heritage dedicated to survival. Watch how the fly overs regard you. They are like a comet that will not return.
Iterative refinement is how BF works. For me, I got noticed and then those around me kept sending me to places to get more and more tuned. Now at 80+, I am just goiing to present a demo of what it is like to take the full offer of the market by using Science and mathematics like never before. The neat thing is that I will be called the usual: unbeliebable. It is so cool.
Today, I finished the total gating system for being able to measure the independent variable. I did the measurement system previously so now all I do is plug it in mathematically to the extent currently possible.
