Anyone who studies what they are and how they work is immediately\nstruck by how they can be adapted to predicting stock patterns and market turns. I was convinced that\nneural networks could be a valuable tool for me, so I finally bought BrainMaker and settled in for the\nchallenge of seeing my small portfolio grow as I maneuvered through the cycles of the market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMonths went by. I spent hours in front of the computer trying this and trying that. It wasn't that\nBrainMaker was a bad program, oh no; it had lived up to my expectations. No, my problem was what I\nhad read in every article and advertisement dealing with neural networks preprocessing the data. And\npreprocessing sounds so straightforward, but it hides hundreds of man-hours of number-crunching\nthrough numerous spreadsheets, all of which involves thousands of keystrokes and a mind-numbing\nnumber of steps that have to be just right for the neural network to be set up properly for BrainMaker to\ndigest it. It can take several hours just to set up the training file and then several hours, in some cases, to\ntrain the network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was only then I asked myself, \"Hm, should I have tried another technique?\" By then, of course, the\ngrass was two feet high and my house needed painting. I was through with neural networks! I knew that\nthe choice of input data was the key to success, but the work involved in setting up the data, good or bad,\nwas too much.","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52133986206065,"sku":"\\V11\\C14\\PR592.PDF","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_d0e6ed59-e4ed-47fa-a146-8b6970228b92.jpg?v=1739660596","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/v1159stocpro","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
