While my Major in my MSc was Nuclear Physics, my two minor subjects were Pure and Applied Mathematics, yes I do use special mathematical approaches (you can call them "correlation transforms" or "neural net systems", or "Regression equations", a rose by any other name ....). The problem with the approach is that it has a number of time variable, and sometimes these need t be tweaked (using what we call "intuition"), but often enough, those turnips work fine.

Limtex, you were wondering about computer trading. Check out these guys, http://www.programtrading.com/hlc.htm According to them 30-35% of all trading is done by programed computers. That 300 point plus moon shot of the Dow two weeks ago was somebody sitting on the futures from 1:40 until 3:40 keeping the computers buying. I've only been watching this for about three weeks, but when the premium levels these guys claim the computers are programed for hit, you can easily see the effects on the indexes. Here's what they are set for tomorrow at. My WAG as to what this means is a slight negative bias (bias being a likely hood of sudden moves up or down) but less than today, which had premiums of $2.00 and -1.20.

For Execution of Buy/Sell Programs
Our FairValue for the S&P 500 today is $.28. That price will not change during the day. Our
computers are set for program buying at $1.92 and set for program selling at $--1.24. If you would
like to watch these program trading premium execution levels, the symbol is PREM (@prem and
$prem, on good data feeds, prem.x, $sps, and $spinx on bad ones).

And here's a little move info about them from their website. Anybody know if what they are talking about is legit and above board? If you subscribe, they even claim they can tell you when to expect program trading to occur. For us that are agonizing over a $80 lifetime subscription to IHub, these guys are real, real expensive. :)

Welcome to the Secret World of Program Trading

Thank you for taking your time to inquire about our firm and program trading. One of the world's
leading investors recently said, "HL Camp & Co. is Wall Street's best kept secret". Why?
Because we are the only investment advisor in the world that offers any information whatsoever on
computer assisted trading programs, buy and sell program execution levels, and how those
programs will affect your trading and your investments.

Program trading can cause wild swings in the market averages. Over the past 20 years, we have
collected program trading activity on a tick by tick basis and have identified repeating patterns of that
activity. We continue to monitor every buy and sell program, tick by tick, every trading day. In
addition, we have contacted hundreds of program traders and firms who actually execute buy and
sell program trades to help identify and confirm the existence of these patterns. Now, we are
offering our Program Trading Research to other trading firms and sophisticated investors.

Our Program Trading Research is designed specifically for you to trade your own account. As a
subscriber to our research, you will benefit from the email and fax reports that we generate each
night before the markets open. For instance, you can utilize our daily program trading information
and pattern recognition systems to more effectively trade S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and their E-mini
futures contracts, OEX and SPX put and call options, Dow Jones futures contracts, and other
derivatives, and the stocks in those indexes. In addition, some of the best electronic day traders on
NASDAQ Level II, use our PREM information for day trading those stocks. Our forecasts enable you
to enhance your prospects of making the most lucrative trades possible, and at the same time avoid
getting trapped in a trade while buy or sell programs hit you broadside.

Our research will tell you in advance which way buy and sell programs will move the markets and at
what time to expect those moves. Our clients find that it is very accurate and reliable. However, our
past performance and research reports can in no way guarantee you future success in trading. Nor,
can we guarantee you that you will not have losses. But, we feel certain that you will benefit from
our Program Trading Research with your trading. If you are trading any of the securities or
commodity futures contracts mentioned on this site, you should click here.
