You know, I don't even remember.

Believe me, I'm no Computer Gearhead...it was a real bear to set up.

I understand programs such as NeuroShell and so forth are much easier to use. But Profit is supposed to be more all-encompassing with respect to flexibility. Which, I suppose, is the rationale for why it's more difficult to set up.

Most of the people that I know who use Profit are TechHeads so they would not have the problems that I had. If I had to do it all over again, I would take a pass. The reason I did it in the first place was because....as the years go by your nerves go. I wanted to rely on something other than day trading so I figured if I could build a good system then I could avoid the stress.

As it turns out, I found that I thrive on the stress...the models don't "see" what I think I see...so my problem with them is they say "Go Long" and I think "You must be kidding? What Idiot wrote this Model?"

But why I picked Profit in particular is not something that I can precisely recall. You might get a better range of thought from the members of the Neural Net Threads.
