To anneal or not?

I've tried this little experiment on 6 different stocks. After finding related indexes and influence settings that looked OK after 2 to 3 hours of backprop training, I made two copies of each net. With the A copy, I turned on simulated annealing training in addition to backprop. I trained the A copy until all 4 passes of annealing finished. With the B copy, training was completed using backprop only.

Evaluating the results based on percentage of good trades during the verify period, showed one of the six was significantly better using annealing. One was equal and four were better with only backprop.

So, for me, most of the time, the answer will be NOT.
