<Is it possible to know what setting you have adopted? My most successful nets in the past have used the following settings. Target, maximum s/t influence. Relateds, maximum s/t, price 3, l/t 3 volume 1. I use the very aggressive setting, the gain loss, add neurons as needed and auto save. Although many disagree with me, I don't use annealing either. I set my neurons at 5, my verify at 3-4 months, and let it rip! This is my default setup, and it usually generates good predictions depending on my relateds, general market conditions, and non-mathmatical influences like the Senate Hearings, etc. JUst remember that you don't have to use the s/t. l/t, price, and volume on each and every related. You need to pick and choose which settings to use based on the relateds trading patterns as they compare to the target. For example, I certainly wouldn't use the s/t on every related unless they seem to trade in tandem with the target. Good Luck to you.

Pascal, First, I'm not yet ready to claim success. I like the way some of my nets are behaving right now, but it's going to take a lot longer for me to feel comfortable with really trusting the nets' predictions. Second, not every stock is suitable for prediction with Neurostock. Some stocks are just easier to predict than others. If I can't get a good net in a reasonable length of time I just move on to some other stock. After a lot of tinkering, I've settled on some pretty simple settings as the starting point for working on a new stock. Target stock - 20 days short term and related stocks or indices - 3 days short term, that's all. From that point, I'll start adding related stocks or indicators until I'm happy with the net. I don't use volume or raw price, but will sometimes add 3 days long term on the relateds. Finding good related stocks and indicators is the most important factor in getting a good net, IMO. CL
