Wow, I am so glad I found this - some amazing work csupnig

This is the first open source trading & strategy testing I've found that I believe could seriously be more useful than what's currently possible with MT4. I've only been playing with it for a few minutes, but I can tell you definitely have some impressive coding skills - for having just launched the site has a very clean, user friendly interface and seems like it has a ton of possibility for customization. I'll definitely be following this discussion and commenting further once I get some time in playing with the system.

As ironically was mentioned in the last post, attempting to utilize a neural network strategy would be interesting. I recently was involved in a competition where neural networks were (attempted) to be used in order to predict the price of options over a period of two hours using a data set with anonymous options and market inputs. As it turned out, at the end of the competition no one was able to actually develop a predictive model that provided any significant improvement vs. simple traditional models. In fact, while the goal of the competition was to utilize the market data, most of the models that performed well simply ignored the market data and used only price and time to train the model.

However, even though it was a similar exercise, just because a neural network model wasn't feasible in that situation doesn't mean it's not in this market and I think this is a great platform to try and test that. I look forward to working with you and your site - I'm excited to see what the possibilities are!!!

Thanks for your feedback and I'm happy that you found it useful! If you come across any questions regarding the functionality or need some assistance in getting your strategies to work... I'm here to help!

The other day I talked to a guy on the bitcoin meetup in vienna, and he was working on a neural network model for the bitcoin market. When I talked to him, he was at a very early stage of his project... I'm not sure if applying neural networks to market data would actually work, because it mostly does not follow a pattern at all. But I would love someone to prove me wrong on this Smiley
