RAFAEL DENOYO is a quantitative specialist in a variety of financial
market applications. He has been researching the prediction and analysis
of market generated time series for the last 14 years, with mixed
success. During that period he has developed methods to apply standard
statistical and computational intelligence techniques to market price
series analysis and forecasting. Mr. deNoyo believes he has been
successful in redefining risk and reward to be compatible with multi-run
asset allocation algorithms; and claims to have pioneered utilization of
non-linear technologies in market price prediction. He is a self

methods. His asset allocation models attempt, at least, to control risk
while exploiting trading inefficiencies. Mr. deNoyo has applied his
