They are at my house . Or at least when I worked back at the Neuroengineering department at UPenn. The hope is that the the network will be able to learn complex patterns after a large number of examples. I'll be separating the data into sections ...

Initial Design — Initial Design Concepts First of all, an explanation of the theory of neural networks. The neural network structure I'll be using is similar to the one shown in the picture below. image Each circle you see in the picture is ...

Probability Analysis — It's easy to make 100x returns. You just have to endure the other 99 times that you lose your whole account balance.

Me personally, or a programmer in general? Actually, probably about the same... just need access to the Shatterfield COT data. I believe that InterbankFX has some kind of bundle deal with them for a discount rate, but you can also purchase the data ...

The Concept of 3D Charting.

COT? — I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but what about COT data? That would actually add another 3 dimensions to the normal 2, but you could sort of condense the three COT groups (weighting each one separately) into one dimension ...
