BioComp Profit 8
It's All About Profit
There is trading software in abundance, but few are focused on the one most important aspect of trading: Profit. BioComp Profit is an end-of-day financial market "Signal Generator" tool that provides you profitable guidance in trading index futures, funds, stocks, commodities, bonds, currencies and other tradable securities. Profit’s profit-optimizing technologies are targeted at maximizing your profits and delivering you smooth, consistent returns as it forecasts the rise and fall of your favorite securities.
The Essentials of How Profit Works
With Profit, you import raw securities data, build indicators then use those indicators as alternative inputs to an [input and predictive model] search process. Many models are built and the top N on a performance basis are brought into Profit to act as a "committee" of models. The models' signals are combined to create a "System Model" which is intended to be more robust. Optional stops are applied. You save your system(s) and each day update your data and open your Profit systems and view current performance and signals.
What's New in Profit 8?
Almost everything. BioComp Profit 8 is not just a new version of a well established product, it is a complete re-write in Microsoft .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2008. Not only did we fully bring it up to date to the current software development technologies, but we also based it on our new commercial process intelligence server, Intellect 3.0. This opens vast new opportunities for sophisticated predictive analytics, including snap-together data processing, optimization, distributed multi-processing and much more.
We also gained experience with BioComp Dakota over the last 2 years and have brought some of these good features to Profit, including multiple systems in use at the same time and changing Profit to be a framework with a high degree of customizability. Now many of Profit's key calcuation points are add-ins, enabling development-skilled users to create their own capabilities.

- Dakota or Profit?
So, what it the difference between BioComp Dakota and BioComp Profit?
First, the similarities. They are both "signal generators", which means they create market long/short/out signals. They do not replace other trading system products, like Tradestation or AmiBroker, but create signals you can use straight-away or in concert with your favorite trading software.
Now, the differences: Dakota enables you to adaptively walk-forward scripted (programmed) trading systems. You have to write or use other's trading systems. Profit, on the other hand, "fuses together" indicators in a model-search technology in to create market long/short/out signals. Essentially it is writing blackbox trading systems for you.
Both have advantages. Both have strengths. That is why we created, maintain and sell both.
Some people successfully use Profit signals in Dakota. Some people use Dakota signals in Profit. Some people create signals with each and then compare.
