"Pre-processing" can be nearly anything.  A moving average is a form of
pre-processing.  It helps you filter out noise.  Wilder RSI is
pre-processing.  I gives you a ratio of how much a time series has moved up
or down over a given period.  Stochastic is pre-processing.  It tells you
where the current price is in relation to previous prices.  The goal in
pre-processing whether it is to feed an artificial neural net or the neural
net between your ears is to amplify a particular feature in the data so that
it stands out from everything else.

So what do you mean by pre-processing, Mark? Detrending? Applying digital
filters? What?
