Hi LastShadow,

You want to pay 40k for a backprop NN? I think there are many other systems out there for much less and work better.

From the research I have done, NN's in the financial markets are only as useful as their input data. In order to have a NN system work, you need input data and you have to tell it what the answers are in hopes it will reproduce the correct answers later. However, NN's are wrong, the input / answer data lead it down the wrong path. The only NN system I have seen that impress me is BioComp and NeuroShell. Even though they impress me, it's not because of the NN, it's because of their techniques of using voting nets and investment stratagies. Bottom line, If you can't come up with the right input/answer data to trade without the NN, don't add the NN to the mix. <:-)

Regards,

Mark
