Just curious.... what is the significance of listing the SP500 at 2082.

I list the SP500 on the charts/trading-logs as a benchmark. Posting it along with my trades makes it so I don't have to look it up later, when I get around to updating the charts.

Update

Finished the new models. I've just figured out how best to use them. I likened it to how they must have thought when they first built the computer; or how families thought when they bought their first computer ever: "I know it's powerful, but what can I do with it?"

Though they perform better than the others I've built, they are still young. Firstly, they are optimizing on only three weeks or so of data right now. They use all of the historical daily GDX data that I have to do it (from 2006), but three weeks of optimization data is a tad short of best-practices. Each day, a new day is added to that total; so they'll eventually get to where they should be in a few to several weeks.

Secondly, I haven't started the feature creation yet.

Typically, daily historical data from the internet consists of Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume. Most system developers add at least one created feature:

The daily price change percentage. ((Close-Previous Close)/Previous Close)*100

But, there are tons of possible features that can be created from the initial set.

High - Low. (a.k.a Range)

So now, in this example, we've added two brand new features. Two new columns to the spreadsheet. These added features may help the algorithm perform better. In fact, researchers have seen algorithms go from 80% accuracy to 100% accuracy by finding "the right" feature to add. These features can reveal hidden correlations and/or relationships in the data set.

The new models pick and choose which features to use from the lot they have been given. I note which features they like, and which they don't use. I keep the ones they like, and try new ones in place of the ones they don't.

The permutations are endless, even for the simple example above. Now throw in data from the first previous day, for example:

Previous High-High
Close - Previous Low
Etc.

Now throw in data from the third previous day...etc.
Now throw in genetic splicing (splicing the two examples above):

Previous High - (Close - Previous Low)

And genetic mutation:

Previous High - (Open - Previous Low)

Rinse and repeat.

This is genetic programming. I don't think I'll go so far as to automate this process; but I will manually do something of the sort. It'll be a slow, but deliberate process.

Additional to feature creation, I can now add data from other instruments/sources. Currencies, Labor statistics, Moon phases, Lottery Numbers, whatever. Regardless of what I throw at it, the algorithm decides if the dog hunts or not. If it doesn't, it ignores the feature/input. If it helps a little, it assigns it a little weight. If it helps a lot, it assigns it a lot of weight. If it helps inversely, it assigns it a negative weight.

Fun.

But first, I have to change the TSP models over to the new system. Not fun.

Will someone wake nnuut up, he likes to post those video links immediately after my posts. I guess I could post them for him.

LMAO...what about the rest of them

HOLDING NUGT TODAY
