Trading Example

Earlier this year in January, I ran a series of 5 models on MTG. I picked the model with the highest winning percentage of 100% and decided that I would follow all of the buy-sell indicators for the entire year, and I am glad I did. My initial investment of $10,560 turned into $13,608 from January 3rd to November 1st for about 129% gain, and that was just on one stock.




I took into account my brokerage fees. Even just a start of $1,000 would have returned $1,288.70.
I tried to follow all of the buy-sell alerts exactly, but there were some days that I forgot, or overslept, LOL, causing me to put my orders in a little late in the day. Sometimes those worked out OK, but other times it didn't. All in all I think this one stock did well.

I posted this not to brag, but someone wanted to see some results of what I have personally done. Plus, all I did was to update my models each day, then follow the buy, hold, or sell signals. Was this the best stock that I have held. No. Not by a long shot. But this is the one stock I have held the longest, following the buy, hold or sell signals exactly. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to do this either. Anyone can do the same thing. I will try my best to help with the use of the software.

Have a great day,
Roger

    Hi Roger. Once a stock is optimized and a model is selected, and you've been updating say for a week. Does Neuromaster continue learning for that past week or does it stop the time you initially optimized it?
    How often do you usually re-train the models?

    Thanks

    Hello ken, it doesn't hurt to relearn models after say, a week. The software will stay with the current optimization unless you relearn it, which is why I recommend doing that every week.

    Thanks Roger. I presume you start from scratch again ... ie. train all 5 models and pick the best?

    Hi.
    Thanks for an informative blogg. I have myself been using the software on and of for some time. It started crashing as had an old computer and an old OS. But the new 3.4 version is very good.
    I have been stuck on how often and when to retrain the models. I usually make a new model or reoptimize every other month, but perhaps its better to retrain it instead of reoptimizing it. When you retrain it, do you set the outof sample date to zeero ? or.
    I have been using Stock Neuromaster 3.4 on SVXY, a vix based ETF, and it has been very succesful (so far i should probably add)
