I checked out those projects on codeproject.com asxstocktrader...I think I'm hooked now!
"This sample also demonstrates a multi-layer neural network with back propagation learning algorithm, but applied to a different task - time series prediction. The problem of time series prediction is very important and a very popular problem, and many researchers work in the area trying many different algorithms and methods for the task. It is easy to explain the popularity of the problem by taking a look at areas where it can be applied. One of the popular areas is trades - if you can predict future values of stocks or rates of currency exchanges, then ... if you can do it really well, then you may become a rich man"
