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.
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?

"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.
