GZ, actually I understand your viewpoint more than you might think because I have to do similar things at times, thought not with respect to markets. But, my training does not allow me to accept certain things unless they pass strict definitions and conditions. For all you know it's probably a huge limitation on my part. Like how I used to be dropped on my head as a child. Often. And deliberately. So, for me, whether the binary SPX (closes green or red tomorrow?) is random or deterministic is clear. It is random. Because if it wasn't random, a function (that is, model) would exist to spit out "Green Close tomorrow!" or "Red Close tomorrow!" And that model has to be correct very day. No error, because error implies randomness. If such a function exists, we would have more serious problems than Gord's booger fries. :)
