Hello Kevin, I haven't been using R for long but I really like it. The large number of libraries and help files are great. I've also been able to find a few ...
I recently bought the code. As I am stepping through the Genetic Algorithm part of the code there are a whole host of issues which some of you may have...
Ash, Look for the file, X16MOD01.c. The 'evolve' command is a genetic optimizer which can be used in place of the brute force command, 'mopt'. The genetic...

Hi, does anyone know how to set up Excel (97) to read and write data files produced by Jeff Katz's superb Scsiserver? From within TS2000i I can get the Global...
Progress! After some research it turns out that there were some typos in the help file declarations ("ByVar" when it should have read "ByVal"). Fixing these...
I'm not sure if this will help, but there's a vb script in the C-Trader spreadsheets that will import .DAT files. However, I'm not sure how to get Excel to...

Eric, You've asked the million dollar question. Finding anomalies is incredibly difficult. Unfortunately, there's no real answer as to how you determine if a...
Could somebody please clarify the distinctions of the different subdirectories. We have CTRADER and CTRADERX (I think one uses Numerical Recipes and the other...
