Jay, My guess is that you wouldn't want to have NeuroStock smoothing the indicators. Usually you would build the indicator with all the smoothing you wanted/needed. This brings up an question that has been in the back of my mind about this. It seems clear that Neurostock has some canned preprocessing of data that is hardwired into the program that we never see. I mean, the program is looking for patterns in the movements of prices between the target stock and the relateds and we're just giving it raw data. It must be calculating things like momentum or % changes or something on its own. Feeding it TA indicators may be quite far from what its preprocessing is set up to be optimal for. In short, it may expect to be treating that data as a price series. As Optim has said before, perhaps something like NS Trader is better suited to this approach and would make a good companion to Neurostock. Hey it's only money, right? Anybody have any insight on how Neurostock is going to use or misuse indicator data? Bob

Jay, Some good inidcators IMO are Acculumlation/Distribution, MACD, Trix, Acceleration (Use >10 day), Stochastic and sometimes Comparative Relative Strength. For the last divide the Close of your stock by a sector or major market index. Then feed that in as a related. You can also feed moving averages of some of the indicators in combination with the indicators. For example a 21 day stochastic with a 10 day moving average of the stochastic. This can be fine-tuned to the stock by looking for crossovers before a big move. Subjective but it sometimes works in NS trader... Optim
