Hi Styphi,
[Cross Post from BullTrack Investment Software]
Thanks for the email. I have not checked into SI for a while and I appologize for the delay.
The reason I use a pay data provider is because the FREE data providers are not accurate. Yahoo seems to be the best in the free catagory but it is not dependable. Many, Many times this year the index data has been missing, days in the data for stocks are also missing historically. BullTrack is very sensitive to the data and required perfect data as most 'Real' investment systems do. I strongly suggest using pay data with any investment program you use. I also hope you see what I have seen with DeepInsight before you lose your retirement. DeepInsight uses ZigZag for the optimization and input to the Neural Network. Historically, the input data is perfect. Many things were done to prevent anyone from seeing this including making the charts small and by adding RSI and other indicators to cover it up. ZigZag is a "Fools Gold" indicator that should never be used in an investment program. Please read this page on Equis.com about ZigZag: equis.com
Please be careful with DeepInsight. 99.9% of the time it will not beat buy and hold. It is very unstable meaning it does not perform out of sample as it does when it trains. According to industry standards, BullTrack should cost $1000 or more but I choose not to charge that much. DeepInsight is a joke in my opinion. Being you are a low income investor, I hope you find a good mutual fund and invest in it. I like FTCHX, JAWWX, OPPAX, JAVLX. some carry fees, and are loaded outside of a 401k. Choosing a mutual fund is much better than choosing trading yourself if you can't afford good data. Data is absolutely Key to the trading system. Without good data, the system is lost.
Why do you think I have not completed the Real Life Companion for DeepInsight? I can't find anything positive that would come out of it. It could also cause other legal problems because it would show the DI program is a hoax. Right now, I don't need the headaque when I have systems that work but they require real data.
I have a single stocks version that will be released in a few months. It will use indexes like DeepInsight but outperform DI and beat buy and hold on select stocks. I will have a real life test engine built-in so you can see which stock works and which one's don't. Why do you think DI does not have a RLT in their program? I offered them my techniques and offered to help them code the TEST in their software. It seems to me if they wanted to prove their methods in real life, they would include the test engine. They claimed they don't need the test because DI works. I think being able to prove my system works is very valuable so by their response, they are admitting DeepInsight does not work in real life because they won't add the test to their system.
