   Product Updates   
NeuroSolutions v5.0 is Now Available!

Several enhancements have been made to NeuroSolutions v5.0 with the most significant being the addition of the Levenberg-Marquardt learning algorithm. Many improvements have also been made to NeuroSolutions add-on products like NeuroSolutions for Excel and the Custom Solution Wizard.

NeuroSolutions v5.0 Major Features

NeuroSolutions v5.0 has three new major features added that significantly improve the modeling capabilities of the software:

  • Data Manager - This tool allows you to import in data from Access, Excel or text files and do various preprocessing and data analysis operations. From there, you can load the data directly into a NeuroSolutions Breadboard or use the data to create a new neural network.
  • Levenberg-Marquardt - This second-order learning algorithm generally trains significantly faster than Momentum learning and usually arrives at a solution with a significantly lower error.
  • Improved Accuracy - All of the calculations made in NeuroSolutions now use double precision floating point values, allowing for more accurate results.

NeuroSolutions for Excel Major Features

  • Leave-N-Out Training - Trains the network multiple times, each time omitting a different subset of the data and using that subset for testing. The outputs from each tested subset are combined into one testing report and the model is trained one additional time using all of the data.
  • Build Networks Faster! - NeuralExpert technology has been integrated into NeuroSolutions for Excel to allow you to create a new neural network model based on the problem type.

   Courses and Learning   
TradingSolutions Live Online Introductory Course

Ever wanted someone to walk you through getting started in TradingSolutions? Well here is your chance!

TradingSolutions Live is an introductory online course in which a standard web-browser is used to view the instructor's computer screen.

The course provides a broad overview of TradingSolutions v3.0 covering everything from creating a “traditional” rule-based trading system to creating a powerful neural network trading system. Neural network systems have a distinct advantage over rule-based systems in that they learn patterns directly from historical data, allowing you to create systems with more accurate signals for entering and exiting positions.
