I. Twenty reasons why you should attend the Advanced NeuroShell Trader Seminar
1. Get a beautiful room on the beach in Florida for $129 + tax a night if you sign up before January 18, 2009, or until the block of rooms runs out. (These rooms are going fast.)
2. You’ll get a lot of individual attention regarding your trading systems. The class 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.
4. You’ll learn about using a combination of neural nets and trading rules (a synthesis that’s mathematically proven to be more powerful than a single system).
5. You’ll discover when the Trader uses a neural net and when it uses a genetic algorithm.
6. You’ll know when to apply the Fuzzy Pattern Recognizer add-on and when to use Fuzzy Sets.
7. You’ll be able to eyeball a pattern, mark it with the Pattern Matcher add-on, and see how many times it occurred in the past, and predict what will happen after it occurs in the future.
8. You’ll find out how to use the Trader to scan a basket of stocks before you build a single chart.
9. You’ll save optimization time after locking and pairing parameters used in Trading Strategies and neural nets.
10. You’ll get answers to questions about balancing and hedging portfolios.
11. You’ll be able to answer the question “What are Redundant Haar Wavelets and how they can be used for trading.”
12. You’ll get a refresher on the difference between linear and non-linear regression and how to apply this knowledge to trading.
13. You’ll be able to enter trades just prior to close or just after open with daily bars on a real time feed.
14. You’ll find out that some neural nets don’t predict anything but still give trading signals.
15. You’ll be able to build fundamental models with the NeuroShell Classifier.
16. You’ll discover that you, too, can program indicators in Power Basic.
17. You’ll be able to use an indicator to remember the value of a time series into the future.
18. You’ll learn how to build indicators that are useful for detecting consecutive conditions.
19. You’ll be able to set up limit prices with conditions.
20. You’ll be better equipped to handle this challenging economy.

III. Commentary from Steve Ward, CEO
1. The Seminar. Last year we only did one seminar, and we are not planning any further seminars this year beyond the one outlined above. Unless the economy improves, we are not likely to do one in 2010 at all. If the past is prolog, about a half dozen of you who did not attend will call after the seminar is over, wanting to attend one as soon as possible. I am afraid if you do not come in February, it may be a long time. Currently we expect no more than 20 people max to attend, so this is a great chance for you to get three days of some very personal attention, and meet a number of like-minded people. Bring the wife and kids – there is a lot for them to do while you have fun with us.
2. Thanks. We appreciate all you who came out to vote for us in the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodity magazine Reader’s Choice Awards. We are hopeful that we can win the first prize again this year.
3. Where do we go from here? After the big crash, we had a week with almost no calls, not even technical support calls. I guess everyone was in shock. Then, the phones began ringing off the hook. It seems many of you picked up NeuroShell again after the crash, after maybe feeling you didn’t really need it lately. People who had been “calling and thinking about NeuroShell for years” were finally motivated to buy. Anybody can make money in a bull market, even a prolonged bear market, but when markets go sideways is when most people could really use some help. Anyway, we like hearing from old friends. Welcome home!
