I Want To Get To Know You!
I was inspired by Trisha, who was inspired by another blog, to make this type of post. I’m creeping up on my one year blog anniversary with Neural Market Trends and I’ve had lots of comments for many people since then. I’m happy to say that my blog is seeing steady increase in readership (thank you) and I’m looking to learn more about my readers and their tastes!
The short of it, I want to get to know you! Everyone knows a bit about me from my About (just updated) section, but what about you? What brought you to my blog? Is it because of my RapidMiner Tutorials? Are you currency, stock, or option trader? What do you like, love, hate about this site? What can I do better?
Please leave me a comment here so we can get a good discussion going! Thanks so much!

Found your site while searching for Rapidminer users, links and informaton.
Trade metals, equities and futures.
Love anything related to the market and IA and NN.
Love open solutions and ideas.
Dislike off topic posts and links.
Hate propriety software.
Keep up the great work! I appreciate your time and effort!!! ;-)
Cordially,

PC: Great to see you on board. Is there anything particular you’d like for me address in a tutorial (subject) that could help your trading edge?
DD: Thanks for reading and thanks for the suggestions, I’ll tone down the photography links :)
Sherry: I’m even counting the Sixth World Investment days as well :)

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.
