Neural Network Course a Resounding Success! We successfully completed another Neural Network Course in early November. We always enjoy getting to know our customers better, especially when it gives us a chance to discuss their applications. Once again, we received excellent reviews from our attendees and have never had anyone tell us they would not recommend our course to others. Quote from Attendee: "This is an excellent course for understanding NN (neural network) concepts and applying them on real examples. I think the course is unique of a kind, at least in my search." The next Neural Network course is being planned for Spring 2006. If you would like more information on our courses, please click the "More Info" button below. TradingSolutions Tip Box: Trading on the Threshold There are many ways to enhance your neural network model and one of those ways does not require touching the neural network model itself - Entry/Exit Systems. With Entry/Exit Systems, you can filter your neural network based model through applying more complex criterion to your neural network model. For example, you could create a custom stop loss solution that can adjust your loss protection based on current pricing trends instead of having a static stop loss based on your trading style. One of our customers recently asked how they could change the model settings to influence the strength of the bars. For example, they wanted to experiment with what would happen if the model entered when it had a signal strength of 45% rather than 50%. One way to do this would be modify the postprocessing settings manually to adjust how the raw signal was processed. However, an easier way to do this would be to use an entry/exit system to produce a different signal based on the signal strength. This entry/exit system would take the output of the model and the desired signal strength thresholds as inputs. It would then compare them in the rules for when to enter and exit. In addition to taking hand-entered values for these new thresholds, the system could also be optimized using different criteria than the original signal or it could even use calculated values as thresholds. And, since entry/exit systems can have multiple rules, additional criteria could be added for when to enter or exit, including combining the adjusted signal strengths of multiple models. Licensed users can check out a simple example of an entry/exit system to adjust the signal strength thresholds recently added to the user forum.
