I've started off building nets for the stocks I already have, or follow closely. Until I get a much better level of confidence in a neural net, I'm considering it as the third level factor, after fundamental and conventional technical analysis. I consider a 66% batting average after just two days a very good start, good enough to keep building, refining, running and tracking the results. My expectation is that the nets will work well for some stocks, and not well for others. << The more diverse the inputs, the better the chances of a good outcome >> That's the theory, have you personally seen it work out yet? Once someone demonstrates repeatable success with a neural net, won't the random walk theorists finally have to admit defeat? Are we at that point yet? I haven't done enough reading on the subject. Are there any AI/Neural Net books that you'd recommend? CL
