The prediction parameters positions tab is used to set up the type of trading that will occur. For more information on positions see Neural Network – Network Criteria Discussion (Objective)
The parameters on this tab may or may not be visible depending upon the currently selected Prediction Wizard Interface Options. Press the Options button to change the Prediction Wizard Interface Options. For more information see Prediction Wizard Interface Options.
- Select the Trading positions used to calculate trading statistics.
If you have chosen to train on a training objective (Training tab) that must calculate trading points then you must select Both Long and Short, Long Positions Only, or Short Positions Only.
- Select the Trading rules used to calculate trading statistics.
If you have selected a Trading position that requires trades, you must select whether you want the optimization process to Find the optimal trading rules or to Use the trading rules specified below. If you are using a training objective (Training Tab) that does not require trades you must select Use the trading rules specified below (because the GA doesn’t have a trading objective to optimize).
If you have selected a training objective (Training tab) that requires trades and you haven’t selected the optimization to Find the optimal trading rules, you must fill in the appropriate Trading rules used to calculate profit.
When you are satisfied with the prediction parameters to be used when training and optimizing press the OK button to return to the Prediction Wizard.
Note:
- It should be understood that trading can result in losses, and that past performance of a trading system is no guarantee of future performance.
