Hi Optim, I've wanted to use wavelets for a long time. I read the Hubbard book a while ago and thought they might be great for isolating signals to trade, the only problem was at that time Mathematica and Matlab seemed to be the only applications that provided good packages. As I did all my work with Excel and Supercharts at the time it seemed too cumbersome and time consuming to learn my way around those applications. So I held off. Now it seems that Cornice Research's WaveFin package is not only affordable but simple to implement. I'm curious if that's the addin that you're using and if it is could you let us know how good the documentation and customer service is and how easy it is to implement. Can you basicaly fine tune the frequencies you want to look at or are you locked in to what they give you? They don't seem to have any phone numbers on their site to call for further information. I would also be curious to know if you are feeding your nets just the raw Wavelet signals or whether you are deriving indicators from them. By the way I've greatly enjoyed your contributions to this thread. Sometimes the quest for the philosopher's stone seems a long and lonely one, but it's great to know that there are others out there doing the same thing. Thanks, L.L.
