I initially used their neural net product back in the early 90's. I am sure that there have been many generational changes since then. I remember working with the initial product to try to help with some pattern recognition stuff that I was working on. I dabbled with Ward Systems products again back in 2001. While I was impressed with the tech support, the product left me wanting a bit. Not because it was not viable, it just didn't fit what I was doing at the time. Now I am debating reviewing the "Trader" product this summer just for knowledge purposes. The company has always provided a competent disclaimer. They have never over promised the product capability as I remember. I believe that if you have a concept that needs tweaking and you have some idea what direction you'd like to go, this may provide that assistance for quality testing of your theories.
