I think I understand what you're saying... maybe. You think that unlike NGO, our target doesn't indicate what type of information we're trying to predict, just what stock NEURO will be programmed to make its prediction on? If that's the case than we might as well just enter the stocks symbol on the top line with nothing checked, with all the relateds underneath, checked as usual, right? If what you're saying is correct the results would be the same.

Further, I'm still at work, so I won't take time to enter a long post now, except to say thanks for the responses. It appears you have figured out the verification issue--as Andrew says, just make the last day of the training set something before the last date of your data. Then you will have a verification set. As you will then note when you look at the scatter plot, it is often the case that the network appears to be quite good on the training set, but when applied to "out of sample" data, does not perform well at all. Further, the confidence level does not take this into account. Thus, my SPX model with 72% confidence was in fact a poor model. If I had not used a verification set, however, I would have expected it to perform well. (That was really the point of my first item in the last posting.) Well, gotta go. Sorry for the long delay. I'll try to visit regularly, but no firm promises. I'm in the middle of changing jobs/relocating, so things will get interesting in the next 30-60 days... Regards, Dave
