I would like to thank Lastshadow for bringing me here. It's an informative forum and has been a little bit dead recently.

Just want to offer my 2cents here: By using weekly data, you already use a filter to filter out the daily fluctuation. You will have a cleaner data set for your NN to understand. NN is nothing but a brain function modeling tool and it's a very primitive one so it needs some helps. I am in a buisness to make structural simulation of human brain which is much more complex. Having said that, I do believe ANN is a very powerful tool and it's so powerful that one can easily fall into curve fitting if one is not careful. I have little knowledge in ANN development, however, my data analysis and trading system develpment experiences seem to suggest that if an NN is only good for one stock or one future contract, it's probably a dangerous beast. Robustness test is one the keys for a good trading system.
