Rafael Denoyo – Alphatrade.com (ebnk)

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 anointed expert in the implementation of intraday and daily trading methods. His asset allocation models attempt, at least, to control risk while exploiting trading inefficiencies. Mr. deNoyo has applied his advanced modeling methods, with varying degrees of success. Mr. deNoyo is, in his own estimation, the world premier Java, JavaScript, and DHTML programmer.
