New Fuzzy Candlesticks and Jurik Indicators Add-ons
NeuroDimension is proud to support two new third-party add-ons from Bowfort Technologies' and Jurik Research that can be used in conjunction with TradingSolutions v3.1.
|
|
|
Bowfort Technologies' Fuzzy Candlesticks add-On adds 40 new indicators to TradingSolutions which use fuzzy logic to detect Japanese Candlestick patterns in charts. This allows you to determine the degree of certainty that one of these classic patterns exist and can be an excellent way to preprocess financial data for more effective predictions and entry/exit systems.
|
|
Jurik Research offers enhancements to a number of popular technical indicators such as the Moving Average, Momentum, RSI and ADX. The advantages of Jurik's indicators are that they remove much of the lag while also reducing much of the noise. Optimizing these indicators using genetic algorithms and using them as inputs into neural networks opens up a whole new avenue for creating profitable models with TradingSolutions.

Trader Achieves 33% on Low-Risk Trading
Mr. Perry purchased TradingSolutions in April '04 testing out various modeling techniques and paper trading the models before beginning live trading in August '04.
|
|
From August 10, 2004 to June 30, 2005 (the quarter just before this interview) he had a return of 33%. During this time 65% of his trades were profitable. Because he aims for a market-neutral portfolio he continually balances long and short positions and he never risks more than 2% of his account on a single trade. On average he has 30 to 40 tradable models, while having 10 to 20 positions open at any given time.
For the complete interview, please visit the website at: http://www.tradingsolutions.com/news/perry.html
In addition, Pal Anand recently updated his interview from 2002 with some insight on how his trading systems were progressing with TradingSolutions.

Solution Service Recap
The Solution Service is a free service that provides daily trading signals and commentary for a select group of stocks. These models can be used directly as part of your trading strategy or used as examples of how to generate your own winning signals. To access it, simply press the "Update Solution Service" button in the TradingSolutions toolbar.
|
|
Since the last newsletter in mid-August, the NASDAQ has stayed fairly flat at about 0.06% and the S&P 500 has lost about 0.4%. Meanwhile, the active Solution Service models combined for a loss of 2.1%, including a gain by the Sigma-Aldrich Corp. model of over 10%! In the recent weeks, several models with substandard performance were replaced with new models which are performing better in recent market conditions. This should yield better overall performance in the coming months.

|
Two New Indicators' Added
Two new indicators have been added to the Traders' Tip section of the Solution Library based on articles' in the recent issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine (TASC).
|
|
John Ehlers' article "Fractal Adaptive Moving Averages" in the October 2005 issue describes an exponential moving average based on recent volatility, using fractal dimensions of recent prices to establish an alpha.
Gomu Vetrivel’s article "Improve Your Trading System With Speed" in the November 2005 issue describes trading systems that test the hypothesis that speed (that is, the amount by which the price changes) can be used to improve the timing of trades.
The calculations have been added to the Solution Library. After downloading the files from the Solution Library, they can then be imported into TradingSolutions using "Import Functions…" from the "File…" menu. The Traders' Tip section of the Solution Library is located at:
