Hi Bob,

Looks like I missed this message. I haven't been active on SI for a while, so I apologize.

I still have both NS Trader and Profit and I recently paid for the upgrade to the intraday version of NS Trader. Both packages are good, with NS Trader winning as far as ease of use and the ability to code any types of indicators or strategies you may want to test, inlcuding advanced stops.

Profit has made me more money though. Much more. It seems my best models have come from using WaveWi$e, an external preprocessing/trading spreadsheet to build all sorts of indicators, seasonals and relative strength input files. Then I feed these into Profit and use only the CATNN and TDNN structures. I like Profit's ability to use various ANN structures as not all inputs work well with all structures. The TDNN and CATNN structures are similar to backpropagation but they add automatic lags to the data to take into account temporal influences. Trader doesn't do this which is why I have found it much more difficult to build systems with it.

In the end it is the users choice, but if I could only have one tool it would be Profit.

Daniel
