Quote from lighnintrade:
I would like to use a computerized evolution algorithm to create a trading system much the way this antenna was produced:

Any ideas as to how this can be accomplished?
Putting 2 and 2 togehter is very difficult.
As wide talesz mentioned the facts are available.
The article you cited also specifies the other ingrediate indirectly. that is this consideration: A person must be able to use the information that he correctly determined he needs.
When I was in college I had to sign an intellectual property agreement for the college and for Bell Telephone Labs. They were in conflict.
So I used my BTL laboratory journal at college. I did study antenna design in an UHF lab, as a coincidental, matter of fact. When I graduated (and my last retake of a course in UHF was complete) the college refused to return my lab journal. The grounds were that as a student, I granted my intellectual rights to the college. what had happened, in fact, was that I did extra lab work with my free time in lab. The BTL work I was doing was on the Nike I and Nike Ajax and in particular the two types of antennae used in that system. So both organizations lost out since I returned to a civilian orientation upon finishing grad school.
To explain the lack of understanding in this thread about the two requirements, what happens is most people cannot think through the opportunity the market has provided. By reading the history of the market operations and discoveries, you can easily find how historical personages solved the problem that is being considered by members of this emerging thread.
When the work was done, the motables of history DID understand their challenge and they DID use the information they NEEDED to be successful in the problem solving required.
The fact that the posts so far indicate what they do, simply means the posters do not understand how to go about the previously completed process.
Work slowly to discover what is required of you and to dicover what you need to do the work. If you are incorrect in your present view, you have an additional problem; you have to work very hard to rid yourself of your mistaken beliefs.
