Hey Jim, Yes, that was actually the first place I was going to post the question. But what I noticed, was that the "Financial Neural Network<http://www.heatonresearch.com/neural-network-forums/financial-neural-networks>" section, was geared more towards users of financial software, rather than software developers actually. But I'm probably being too cautious in that respect. Ok, I've moved that post <http://www.heatonresearch.com/node/2716>to the "Financial Neural Network" section.
Thanks for the nudge :) Tim Washington Interruptsoftware.ca 416.843.9060 On Mon, Aug 6, 2012 at 12:33 PM, Jim - FooBar(); <jimpil1...@gmail.com>wrote: > I'm surprised you didn't post your question on the "Financial Neural > Networks" section of the forum but on the "Using encog in Java" instead! > You did see it right? > > Just trying to help here... :-) .
