    No. If your assumption was true, I wouldn't need to know the inputs - there are always patterns that repeat in a pseudo random number sequence. All you have to do is data mine for them.

    Oh wait... data mining and model building, isn't that what Renaissance Technologies and others do for a living?

    Anyway, this exchange started out with your statement that markets are pseudo random. The validity of that statement would be a much more interesting discussion than whether is is possible to make predictions in such a sequence or not :p .

  5. They are not mining the same data you think they are mining. trust me. and the models certainly are not chart based or single instrument price/volume at Ren. LOL

    surf:D :)

    We were discussing your statement that market data is pseudo random.

    I never mentioned charts or candlesticks. And you have no idea what data I think "they" are mining.

  8. Tell us more what they are doing at Ren. I read in some article once they build trading models for all kinds of stuff from sunspots to tidal waves and their correlation to markets. is that true?

    Interesting reaction. I guess you're not going to elaborate on market data being pseudo random then.

    By the way - I thought you had more people on ignore than JH, like xspurt.
