Subject: [amibroker] A Communication
Novel, part 1
Seaching among various dusty things, I found an old novel
and here is the
translation for you. Any similarity with real facts is
totally coincidental.
Communication 1.
THE NEURONS
Everything with neurons is fine, may be magic, until the day
that a "bad" idea comes with
your first hot morning coffee.
And if I try to build up two neuron studiesfor
the same stock, the same data array, with the
same PC and the same time (O.K. I hit the second "Run" 5
seconds later...)??????????
I prepared the stuff and started. The coffee was still
warm.
The "studies" were totally different, although I run them
12-15 hours.
(No need to say anything about coffee temperature after 15
hours)
I always begin with the mathematical hypothesis that I am
the stupid part of the communication,
so I asked the "Contact" button the attached
question.
Here you may see 3 of (total) 7 trials.(Somewhere aresaved
the rest.)
A. In the case of wrong mail, did YOU receive any answer
??
B. I have paid a 4 years subscription to the mail-transfer company, NOT
expired yet.
C. Should I ask more than 7 times ??
D. I CAN wait for an answer all my life, if this is the point.
E. In the mean time, perhaps it would be better to try some other number
of repetitions, perhaps
using some Fibonacci Numbers (they were released, at no cost, to the
public use, since ~1200, by
the famous Figlio Di Bonacci, Mathematician).
F. Or better try some revised edition of his Arithmetica, you know, if I
pay something, a serious
solution may be found.
G. But, unfortunately, I am not the lucky part of the communication.
Fibonacci did not released
any update the last 800 years, as far as I know.
H. Or (what a great idea !!) I have to create some neuron-plex
combination of repetitions
of mails to the neuron "Contact" button
??

PROCEDURES
DEAR SIR,
I DOWNLOADED FROM "XXX" YOUR 60 DAYS TRIAL
ON YOUR INTERESTING "XXX" SOFTWARE.
AMONG THE OTHERS, I TRIED TWO INDEPENDENT STUDIES ON THE
SAME STOCK, WORKED UNDER THE SAME INITIAL CONDITIONS, THE SAME TIME, ONTHE
SAME PC (INTEL PENTIUM AT 800 MHZ).
THE WHOLE PROCEDURE AND THE RESULTS ARE QUITE
DIFFERENT.
BEING READY TO BUY, ANY SUGGESTION ON SUCH A CASE WOULD BE
APPRECIATED.
(ATTACHED THE TXT DATA FILE AND THE TWO
STUDIES).
BEST REGARDS
DIMITRIS TSOKAKIS
ATHENS, GREECE
Here is the end of communication 1.
Am I the stupid part ??
How will my life be without neurons ??
Communication 2:
THE TREMENDOUS OFFER.
I received a gentle mail informing me that I was the lucky part ofthe
communication.
A tremendous offer was waiting for me.
At first I felt proud
But, reading again the great news, I saw that I was "randomly
chosen".
What a pity !
I confess that I did not avoid the following answer:

YOUR OFFER
Dear sir,
"You have been randomly chosen to receive...
"
Sorry, I am a person and I do not want to be r a n
d o m l y selected.
"low price of $xxx(that’s $XXX off the regular price
of $XXX !)"You make me wonder, what is the r e a l
value of your Software.
"If you have any questions "
I am in the search of a software handling cross-market
data (like advancing issues on daily
basis or, why not, mov averages crossovers on weekly
basis etc). Does your software solve
such problems. If not, is there any skilled programmer
to do that for me, at no cost, just because
I asked that for?(I suppose your agreement for the
real value of these details) **.
" or comments, please feel free
to reply "
Personal communication may be prosperous for bothsides.
Computerized automatic mail
will make out turning globe colder day by
day.
Please accept my best wishes for the growth of your
software.
Best Regards
Dimitris Tsokakis
** I have similar offers.
I will not repeat all my Communication 1 questions except one:
Did YOU receive the reply ??
If positive, please forward to the lucky part of the Communication 2,
or the Stupid part of
Communication 1. It is the same person, me.
By the way, gentlemen with above offer do not know that now I know
how to do this.
Although it was a secret, I will reveal a small part .
There was a forgotten old manuscript that my teacher wrote,
explaining how to solve
this kind of problem. Unfortunately, he has the habit to write in
Latin and the translation is not so easy.
The title of this dusty manuscript is "DE RERUM COMPOSITUM"
If above gentlemen answer my mail before I finish the translation, I
have no alternative:
I will give the answer in Latin.
If they give me some time (I wait nearly one month, I need abouta
week) I will give the Latin text
fully translated, no matter my teacher comments on translation.As you
know, in Latin and Ancient
Greek you must pay attention to any "," any ";" etc. Any letter
or symbol express one unique thing
and if it is written, you have to translate exactly. Perhaps this is
the reason they, teachers, say :
"Scripta manent".
Communication3
FIRST RATE FIRST PAGES
In the first page of a first rate software there is a "Contact"
button.
I hit the button many Fibonacci times.
I wanted to ask some questions.
The mail service sends back my effort after 1.52 seconds.
All the same the next time.
Some friend of mine, a PC guru, used the unknown word "firewall", or
something like that.
I still wonder for the use of this "Contact".
Perhaps,(another bright idea), Fibonacci repetitions were the wrong
thing.
What should I do then ?
Repeat communication efforts some Euler number.?
But, this Mathematician was dealing with some huge exponentials,
calculating by heart all the time,
untill he invented the well known "e", released as a f r ee
attachment some 300 years ago, to make
communication easier.(not for himself, he had the rare gift to solve
almost anything in a second).
I will not ask for your advice again.It would be the third time and
it is not polite.
(Even if 3 is a beloved Fib number)
P. S. Who cares for Euler promisses: No further update of "e"
was released, as far as I know.
You have no alternative. Use the first edition.(It is not that bad
!)
Communication 4
A BUG REPORT
I downloaded a low cost software by May 2001.
The program was promising that I can run custom indicator
routines.
Of course the program did not know me and my ignorance.
I have never been lucky in my life.
The f i r s t routine ran and everything was frozen. A window
appeared and said that I may send
a bug report. I thought immediately (here we have the results ofmy
"education") that I am the
wrong part of any communication, but ...I forwarded the bug.
It was Saturday night, 10:20 p. m.
I shut down the PC, went home and came back Sunday noon.
There was a reply in my mail (as I told you before, I pay the
mail-provider),
posted Sat. 10:30 p. m. , asking gently for the formula that caused
the bug.
I forgot my surprise and mailed the "formula" of the 1 day
experienced programmer, i.e. myself.
A reply came 3 hours later (here I agree with my friend: 3 hours
is tooooo much !!) with the
text: "I am working NOW on fixing this issue"
Parts 1, 2 and 3 are real facts and all documents are
available.
I am sure that you do not believe the 4th part of this novel.
I agree with you. It is almost unbelievable.
Thank you very much for your precious time.
For the translation of this old novel

P. S. I write Mathematician with capital M, as it is in the
prototype. I just translate.
All other capitals are my own choice and
responsibility.Your
