S-fund Challenge! Guesses

Tonight, I expect to be done "finalizing" three NN players to enter the challenge. Two swing traders and one day trader. The day trader NN says UP for tomorrow, so I'm going to waffle again tonight and change my bet to UP for 5-2-14.

"Swing-NN S" is LONG; "Swing-NN 3" is SHORT; "IRA-NN" is SHORT; "Daily-NN" is LONG

The Challenge will let me front-test these NN designs and see which works best.
 
Friday: Pattern 1/grn-grn-grn. Win Percentage (CSI 52.9%): C 53.3%, S 55.8%, I 49.6%.
Forecast: cash C-fund; long S-fund; short I-fund.

If you're wondering why the system has pattern 1/grn-grn-grn long S-fund, but short I-fund, maybe today's market action can illustrate it best (S-fund is up, I-fund is down). I don't know if it will end like this, but pattern 1 has already made more than 250 appearances on the ebbcharts. And that means it has taken snapshots of the same market conditions -- perhaps more times than not -- and learned from it. :cool:

Monday up, but I may change if there is a sell off into the close. I was expecting more of a positive reaction to a "seemingly" great jobs report, yet there isn't... that is disconcerting, but I think the retail investors will continue buying into this "rally" until the institutions decide it is time to pillage our 401k/IRA's again...

Then, and only then, will we see a major sell-off... maybe in July?

...yeah, a dump did happened in July, 2008. But my prognosis doesn't look that far ahead for me to speculate one way or the other at this time.
