Welcome aboard... as Jay mentioned, we certainly welcome the company. You seem to have a strong understanding of the concepts involving the use and construction of the Neuro nets. Frankly, the concept of influence periods has alluded me, and there is sparse documentation to clarify the subject. Also you mentioned the verification period. Frankly, I never attempted it. How do you set it up and run it? Re: indices... I won't steal Jay's thunder since he introduced the concept to the thread, and it seems to be working as well, if not better, than using related stocks. He can explain it, and direct you to the best site to obtain the research data.
I will say this though... the accuracy of the Neuro predictions can be vastly increased by using an additional indicator or two for confirmation. I also look for correlations on different indicators I construct, and on some stocks have actually, somehow, have been able to predict a couple of spikes.
I believe that when this market turns around, we have the tools and experience to more than a few bucks.
Again... welcome aboard.
ps: Jay, to answer your question re:MCHP, I panicked, sold too early, and had my first loss this year. Subsequent to my sale, I've read numerous articles stating that the semiconductor industry is sucking wind. I wish Neuro had known that... but, I made it back with AA.
