I have started to capture a steady Twitter stock stream into a database. It will take a while to get a majority of the ticker symbols, but over the next couple of days we will have enough to start doing some interesting analysis. Over the last several weeks I was always too tired [...]

Fashioned by racing enthusiasts as the greatest 3200 meter handicap horse-race, the Melbourne Cup has been run since the mid-1800’s. In 2008, the Cup is fielded with horses named Efficient, Septimus, Zagreb, Tuesday Joy and Weekend Hussler – all of which are favored in the Melbourne Cup Odds as of this Sunday. Last [...]

…then don’t act like a sheep. photo credit: russelljsmithSteve Steinberg’s new blog, called comma separated values, has an interesting entry about group think and the predictability of not only groups, but also individuals within those groups. Also known as crowd dynamics. Alas, many of the comments are concerns about “one’s personal [...]

Please excuse the presently slow site – we are trying out some suggestions in regards to the display of correlation of stocks. Major parts of the correlation database is in the middle of being re-calculated, so many of the stocks will have blank pages for the next couple of hours. The results should [...]

I must admit up front that I am horrible with math. But I love it – an unfortunate paradox. I am constantly tracking down and trying to learn the latest and greatest algorithms in the data mining and machine learning fields. Unfortunately, blundering through acedemic papers is often what I end up [...]

Look, there is no denying it – we love science fiction here at DeepMarket. Mind you, we are more than willing to allow for certain suspension of disbelief when it is required to make the story more interesting or even possible. For instance, most space related sci-fi has some type of faster than [...]

Everyone has their favorite stock charting program – be it MetaStock, TradeStation or any number of other charting packages out there. As this class of software has evolved over the years, additional funcationality for annotating charts to highlight patterns or trends has been added. I don’t know what analytical software you happen to [...]

I have not dug too far into the documentation, but AGEIA has released their PhysX SDK which allows game developers to take advantage of the PhysX Processor for more realistic physics simulations in games. Computer games have been pushing the envelop of computing since the beginning of the electronics age and many of the [...]

I still owe a short article on correlation of stock prices, but did separate out the list of correlations into their own pages. For instance, to find the list of stocks highly correlated (both positive and negative) with Microsoft, go to www.deepmarket.com/correlation/msft. As new experiments are added, new pages will be added to [...]

The age old competition between brawn and brains continues in the computer age. Seemingly “intelligent” demonstrations of machines’ abilities to compete with humans, generally with games like chess, are really dependent on computer “brawn”. True intelligence in machines – artificial intelligence – will more than likely be the result of leveraging really clever [...]

The constantly evolving and growing backend of DeepMarket is starting to peek out from behind the curtain. Finally, got some stock data loaded into a database. For now, just looking at stocks on the NASDAQ exchange. Explore a little if you get a chance. For example, here is some information on [...]

Sir Isaac Newton said, having participated in the South Sea Bubble and losing about 20,000 pounds of his own investment, that:
I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
It is interesting to note that present day technical analysis has been inspired by Newtonian physics, like the concept of momentum [...]

I am no expert in creativity, but most people that I speak with about the analysis of the stock market seem to have a very narrow sense of the possibilities. Perhaps it is the tools and software that have a heavy concentration on all the “standard” indicators – from the world of technical analysis [...]
