See that is your issue. You are focused on the machine learning aspect. You say that you have a lot of experience in developing algos for hedge funds, banks etc. So how did you come up with something? You first observed a pattern or you thought of something that may or may not work. You either coded it yourself or the quants did. If there was some merit or perceived edge then off to the developers. This is how I used the program. I never plugged in a bunch of indicators and then hoped and prayed that it found some magical strategy for me that was so convoluted no one could possibly understand. What I did was if I had an idea, such as if the previous day closed down in the bottom 15% of the weeks range and I bought the top 10 weighted stocks of the S&P would it work. If there was nothing, I would move on. If there was something interesting, I would go into it deeper. Whether it was ask a friend to help me with the optimization or backtesting, whatever. It just allowed me to quickly shift through ideas that I had with the point and click interface BEFORE I knew how to code it all up in python and do the research.
The features you described can be had with any open source back tester and/or apps that cost a fraction of the price. For example Rightedge. I close my case, you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.
So cool, I can click and drop indicators into it. Or use C# or VBA. Plus pay the 700 dollars or so for it. Yeah, you sure did rest your case. I would love to know where you worked at. Yes, I have no problem telling you were I work at and you can call me. I have no idea why your old ass is even still in this thread. Don't you have water aerobics or something to do?
It costs 1/6 of your asswipe app. You can get away with Ninja or Multicharts as well, they are all in the same category, retail off the shelf backtest apps. You get what you pay for, except neuroshell, you get shit for the price of 3k. This old ass is running circles around you and your ridiculous software application. All you offered so far was the big mouth of a wannabe with zero credentials or skills. Ciao Uncle Tom, On ignore.
Says the guy who came in here running his mouth with all his claims. Unlike you I said I will give you where I work and you are more than welcome to come to the office and "run circles" around me. I guess you don't want take me up on my offer. On top of that, I never said I was selling it for the full price. It is expensive like I said. I didn't know of anything else at the time. And it worked for me. Funny thing is like I said the two strategies that I discovered using neuroshell helped me get where I am at now. Anyway, you just seem like an old has-been. On ignore.
Saw this thread and just had to chime in. As a successful user, NST is a powerful tool and worth the $$, at least for me. There is a reason for the #1 vote in S&C. But of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
