hi everybody, i m doing a project in neural networks of stock
prediction in matlab. i m able to train the system but not able to
predict and test the training. please help me in this regard.

What does that mean?

Why do you ask for help without giving any useful information?

1. How many cases do you have?
2. How many cases must be reserved for testing?
3. How many input variables?
4. How many output variables?
5. How far do you want to predict into the future?
6. How far into the past do you want to base the prediction?
7. Have you designed and tested a linear model before
trying to tackle a neural net?

Hope this helps.

Not very applicable for predicting into the future.

Hope this helps.

I am also interested in stock market (Quant/black box ) investing ..
I have collected historical data points that I would like to test.
However.. I dont know where to start on this .. I have an excel file
that my data is on .. can I import the excel file into matlab?? I am
using volume data now ..was wondering which would be better ..(
either volume data or daily stock price) in my NN. I guess I also
need to know which network would be best to run test this on.. any
pointers? any suggestions?? ..So first things first .. can I import
my excel file into matlab... ?

Thanks
