Rapidminer 5.0 Video Tutorial #2 – Building a Gold Trend Classification Model Part 1
Looks like I'm on a roll! Please see my Rapidminer 5.0 Video Tutorial #2. In this video we begin the process of recreating my original written NMT YALE/Rapidminer tutorials into version 5.0 and into a video. This video shows how to import training and prediction data, add a classification learner, and apply the model, and get the results.

The data files you will need to follow along are Excel spreadsheets below:
Training data set: gold_final_input
Prediction data set: ga-gold

Fantastic Videos Tom!!!
I have using Rapidminer for a couple of months to make a model for predicting Forex prices and your videos have been a tremendously helpful resource. I am looking forward to new video series.
Thanks,

@Cleo: I've had great success using RM to model Forex trends. Read up on my $100 Forex Experiment, that was a trend system developed with RM.

hi Tom,
how do you sync your data? For example the DJ and the GDax? There are day at which only one of these is traded.
best regards,

@StevenD: I use TraderXL to snyc up the data based on dates. If the S&P500 trades, say on 5/5/10 and the GDAXI does not, the GDAXI entry for 5/5 will show 5/4′s closing number.

Hey Thomas, what assets do the CD and EM tickers stand for?
