InferenceTrade should work on any system capable of running at least Windows 95

Minimum requirements:

	486 processor
	20 MB free HD space
	Windows 95
	800 X 600 screen resolution
	Modem and internet access (only required if you need InferenceTrade's internet features)

 

This version was designed for use with the Windows "English(United States)" locale setting.  InferenceTrade has not been `internationalized` and--due to differences in the date and number format (e.g 1,234.56 vs 1.234,56) etc.--will not work with other regional settings.  If you wish to use InferenceTrade and your computer is not set to "English(United States), then you can change this setting, use:     Windows Start >Settings >ControlPanel >RegionalOptions(Settings)     and change to `English(United States)` , then--depending on the Windows version--click either `Apply` (Win2000) or Restart the Computer (Win95)." Changing this setting may affect the function of other programs on your system. So, when finished using InferenceTrade, you may want to change the setting back to where it was. (Check back with this website in the future for news of any upcoming new international versions.  An international version will appear sooner if there is enough demand for one, so if you would like one to be available soon, send an email.)

Most InferenceTrade functions will execute at an acceptable speed (a few seconds) on a "minimum" 486 system.  However, a few calculation intensive functions like the Walk-forward Validator, or the Portfolio working on a large number of charts, will take a long time (hours) to calculate on a 486.  A fast processor will GREATLY increase the amount of experiments you can perform with these functions.

 

InferenceTrade has been tested on Windows 95, 98, ME, and 2000.  It has not been tested on Windows XP, but it should work in this case too.

 

The Windows 95 modem auto-connect feature is unreliable, so certain InferenceTrade internet related features may fail to automatically connect when needed, and may require simple user assistance to connect--otherwise, everything else works fine.  With versions of Windows 98 or higher, auto-connect works well.
