Hi,

I ran into this plug-in while looking for ARIMA, it is free for personal use, I was unable to install it in Metastock, Can someone try and install it and let me if it installs fine.
The formorg.exe just hangs there doing nothing :smt089 . I mean looking at the process it just stands still :evil: even after a few minutes on a fast PC.

I want to give it a try, I do not like forecasting, or back testing for that matter, but I never mind a try.

Or if someone know of another plug-in that do the same :idea: .

Thanks if someone can help :smt100 ,

Bulli 8:-)

Thanks Patrick,

That did not help as I already tried, I just wanted to make sure it is not the plug-in.

This PC is due for a clean up, it is for software testing, I think it is time to do it :evil: AGAIN

Bulli :lol:

Hi g_stockman,

I am using 9.0; But it is not Metastock I have just formated HD and fresh installed everything (with a test system you have to do this often, you know each program leaves a lot of ##@#@# behind).

The plug-in just worked as it should. :lol:
Now it is time to do some testing on it, I just mentioned it here as the plug-in could be of some value to other members. :wink:

We are here to share information :wink: .

Thanks,
Bulli

Be careful - there seems to be some hindsight-based stuff and lots of confusing mathematical jargon & hype at forestock.com.
Here is some of it explained:


"fractal metanet architecture"

Translation:
Fractal network analysis and optimization system. :?


"multivariate statistical analysis"

Translation:
Uses lots of variables in its processing, as usually found in any optimizing process.


"Multivariate statistical models of arbitrary dimensions in infinite level layering network"

Translation:
Many variables, enough to keep you busy for a while. ;)


"multiscale tables and charts featuring confidence estimates and residuals"

Translations:
multiscale tables = tables & charts with more than one scale;
confidence estimates = r-squared values (equates to 0.01~99.99% confidence), as used by MetaStock's ODDS Probability Cones;
residuals = difference between forecasts & actual performance - expect large numbers here.


"Transparent model structure with multilevel hypertext navigation delivered through built-in web server."

Translation:
Comes with Help file.


"Own standard of superfast unlimited object storage with multi-user support."

Translation:
No such thing as "unlimited object storage" exists; more than one copy of the Aura.dll may be installed.


"Unattended automated operation"

Translation:
Expect a lot processing overheads with the optimization process used by the Aura.dll.


"Unlimited extensibility through unified language neutral model component standard"

Translation for this little gem is well beyond my comprehension & ability.


The bottom line is: will any of the above help in the actual trading process?
Beware of mathematical jargon & hype used to impress the uninitiated - it usually has little or no relevance to the trading markets.

Caveat emptor.
