James, There haven't been a lot of posts here lately, but don't think that no one is reading. For one, I check the status every day. I know that the swarm is behind its initial expectations, but it is profitable. It will be interesting to see what happens with the current trade, where it's now underwater. I think it's going to take some time to show the performance of this swarm in a definitive manner, but I'm looking forward to it. So thanks, and please keep posting.

I don't know whether this has been replied to but I'll have a go. IMHO, while an ensemble can be set up and run you're gonna struggle if you can't write code. Why? Well, the ensemble is only as good as the components (child systems) from which it is made. So, should you climb the learning curve and start writing code I'd encourage you to work on developing robust systems before even thinking about creating an ensemble trader. Thx D
I am a user and developer of systems using this product too. The key point to remember here is that robustness is more important than outright performance. In a market like we have right now, that IMO, isn't a friendly one for EOD systems I'd say that 12% of perfect is solid performance. Thx D
Absolutely, no question about it. That's also why it would *really* be good to see the swarm hit 18%. But the current trade is so far underwater that right now holding on to 12% looks tough. However, at this stage things can change quickly, which is why a good number of trades will be needed to really gauge performance. As to fundjunkie's other comment about needing to know how to code before ensemble trading, I disagree strongly. There are several good bots available free to Dakota users, and others available for purchase. A very good ensemble system can be built with those, without any coding required. (this assumes one has the ensemble trading system in place already, like one of James' EST bots)
