I. Top reasons why you should sign up for the NeuroShell Trader Advanced Seminar right now
1. The seminar will allow you to focus on your NeuroShell Trader models in ways you haven’t been able to before. You’ll spend three days concentrating on efficiently building models that incorporate trading rules, neural network predictions and genetic algorithm optimizations. Backtesting the systems you create will lead to a more disciplined approach to trading.
2. You’ll get a lot of individual attention regarding your trading systems. The seminar size is limited to 30 attendees. That means more time to get answers to YOUR questions. Similar trading seminars often have 200 or more attendees.
3. You’ll meet an interesting group of fellow NeuroShell Trader users you can’t find anywhere else. The exchange of ideas is guaranteed to jump start improvement in your trading systems.
4. You’ll save money on both the seminar fee and hotel, but you have to sign up soon. Save $100 on the seminar fee if you sign up by December 31, 2009. Take advantage of the Pier Five’s seminar rate if you sign up before January 23, 2010, or until the block of rooms runs out. (These rooms are going fast.)
5. You’ll be surprised how the neural network and optimization techniques that you learn for trading may be applied to many different types of modeling problem. Your boss will think you got a whole lot smarter during your vacation!
6. You’ll be better equipped to adapt your trading systems to an economy that has proven to be a challenge for even the most experienced traders.

II. Editorial by Steve Ward, CEO
If you are a subscriber of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine, what I am about to say is addressed to you. Most of our users say that in addition to great software, our technical support is second to none in the business. We know it is important to provide the best support we can, which is why we have seasoned professionals doing the support, instead of using trainees and contracting out the support. I do a lot of it myself. That is expensive, however, and can only continue if sales remain strong. For the last seven years sales have remained strong because YOU have voted us number 1 in the TASC annual Reader’s Choice Awards. I would therefore like to get your vote again. Please do it now, and see Article V below for instructions. The deadline is December 31, but don’t wait.
Happy holidays and thank you for all your support during the year. We wouldn’t be here without you.

III. Office closures
Ward Systems Group will be closed December 24, 25 and January 1, so that our staff can celebrate the holidays with their families.

IV. PowerBasic for $49
For those of you who want to write code for NeuroShell and do not want to pay the full fare for the PowerBasic compiler, there is now a sale where you can get release 8 for $49. Release 9 is now the current version, but with respect to writing DLL code for NeuroShell, there were no enhancements to release 8 that we know of. We have written many indicators with release 8 with no problems, and it is solid. They are calling release 8 “Classic PowerBasic”, but they did not say how long it will be selling for $49. It is a great deal; go for it if you have even thought of writing code in BASIC to build custom NeuroShell indicators. Go to powerbasic.com.

V. Protect your investment in NeuroShell
The polls are still open for the TASC 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards. If you haven’t cast your vote yet, we’d really like to have it. Help us protect your investment in NeuroShell by keeping the new buyers coming. That way we can keep bringing you the help and support most of you have enjoyed through the years.
Here’s how you cast a vote:
1. Get your copy of the Stocks & Commodities magazine and visit www.Traders.com (any issue will do; it doesn’t have to be the November one). Look on the left side of the web site for the 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards and click on the Vote Now! link. On the page that is displayed enter your subscriber ID from your magazine address label (look at their example to see which numbers on the label are the subscriber ID).
2. After you are logged in, look for the Standalone Analytical Software, $1000 and more category on page 2. Be sure to mark you ballot for NeuroShell Trader Professional (Ward Systems Group Inc.)
3. Do the same for the Artificial Intelligence Software (Expert, Neural) category on page 3. Look for NeuroShell Trader Professional (Ward Systems Group Inc.).
4. Also in the Artificial Intelligence Software category, we’d appreciate a second place vote for GeneHunter, the genetic algorithm optimizer that is included in NeuroShell Trader Professional.
The staff at Ward Systems Group Inc. extends a very heartfelt thanks to all of you who take the time to vote before the December 31, 2009 deadline.
