General Information TOP

Product name: N-Train Neural Network Development System

Initial Price: $159

Brief product description:

N-Train is a professional neural network development system written by a mathematician for the ultimate in speed, capacity and stability. Thanks to 80-bit floating point computations carried out in pentium-optimized assembly langauge, N-Train exhibits extremely good numerical stability. As a result, it trains reliably and quickly on data sets that other products simply cannot handle. Works great on noisy data (such as that from the financial markets) as well as on extremely large data sets (think many millions of facts). Several training models including standard backprop and genetic evolution may be specified, and sophisticated analysis of the importance of each input variable to the model can be performed. Scripts may be written to automate complex training and testing procedures. Lots more. The product had fabulous reviews in Stocks & Commodities and in Futures (a comparative review by Mark Jurik). Used by professional traders, hedge funds and CTAs, educational institutions, the government, insurance companies and others. It was employed in the book, "The Encyclopedia of Trading Strategies" by Jeffrey Owen Katz & Donna McCormick (McGraw Hill, 2000), to develop a "universal forecaster", and in "Computerized Trading" (Ed. Mark Jurik)for pattern recognition. We have been told that N-Train is by far faster and more reliable than many packages selling for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The product comes with extensive documentation as well as a detailed example of how to easily use N-Train from within Excel (includes well-commented Excel VBA macro code). The TradeNet link module (available for an additional $25) that connects N-Train to TradeStation in real-time is available separately. Many traders find this is the way to go. It should be noted, however, that N-Train is a stand-alone system, in that neither Excel nor TradeStation is required to use it. It can read and write standard text files, and is compatible with all software capable of writing and reading such files (Fortran, C++, Basic, Java, SPSS, Matlab, you name it). The product requires a Pentium or higher processor and will use all available memory (depending on the problem size) up to 2GB, if necessary. There are no shipping costs! We send the software and detailed manuals by email in zip-format files. Purchase includes telephone support to get you up and running. This is the neural net software that we use for our own options and futures trading.
