   Tom, thanks for a great site. I found your blog via the RapidMiner forums. I am a big fan of RapidMiner and have even contracted with Rapid-I for consulting. Ralf and Ingo are great and really accelerated my RapidMiner learning curve - combined with your excellent tutorials of course.

   I am an independent investment advisor with a portfolio traded using a variety of systems (NN/SVM-based and more traditional). I always enjoy learning about new software tools. Whenever I develop a system, I always pass it through a number of tools for data mining, portfolio-level back-testing, stress testing, etc. Thanks to you, Stock Neuromaster is next on my list. However, I find that NeuroShell Trader is an excellent NN tool despite being a little expensive. Regardless of the software, machine learning is my bread and butter. I am predominantly a swing trader and couldn’t make a good discretionary trade if Warren Buffett were my uncle. Mechanical trading has been the way to go for me and your site has given me a few great hints along the way. Thanks so much for your generosity, hopefully I can repay it someday.

   Keep up the great work.
