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 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.

Optimizing Network Inputs to Maximize or Minimize the Network Output(s)
There are many applications where a system is needed to find a set of inputs that will maximize or minimize a single output or a set of outputs. One example might be a targeted marketing application that has a set of demographic inputs (sex, age, income, town size, etc.) and an output representing whether or not they responded to a particular advertising campaign (0 = no response, 1 = response). A system could then be developed to find the set of demographics that would likely produce the highest response rate.
|
|
This type of problem is also often encountered with machines that produce something (an output) based on the control settings (inputs). There may also be an associated cost with running the machine based on the control settings, so this could also be considered an output. One could then develop a system that will find those control settings that maximize the machine output while at the same time minimizing the cost of running the machine.
How would one go about solving these problems in NeuroSolutions? It involves two phases of work:
1) Develop a neural network to model the real-world “plant” using the historical inputs and
outputs.
2) Fix the neural network weights and use genetic optimization to do an intelligent search of the input space to maximize or minimize the outputs.
We encourage any of our customers with this type of application to follow this set of
step-by-step instructions with their own data.
