John,

if you could define such a function, why run a Neural Net on it at all? You
could derive anything worth knowing directly from the definition of the
function.

This posting provides some food for thought.  If one could devise a
function which accurately simulates the random and non-random aspects of
markets using convenient data measures (price, volume, volatility) then it
would be possible to train a neural net using other than historical data.

Simulated data would provide a much more extensive training data set thus
improving the NN's predictive power and avoiding curve-fitting on limited
data.

I don't believe that there is any point training a neural net, or any
predictive system on random data since by definition, there is no
relationship between the training data and future data.

But then I don't believe that markets are entirely random.
