Additional index data based on commodity futures, fixed income, forex, foreign stock exchanges, and options will be used as features for each learner. To generate more potentially useful features, clustering and markov regime change models will be applied to the data. Portfolio will be dynamically rebalanced based on mean variance portfolio theory every week. Trading signals will be generated up to once every 5 minutes. Positions will be held for less than 2 hours with exit conditions either x bp rise, determined by the learning algorithm, or a stop loss, both set prior to entry.

All securities below that will be traded are on the AMEX.
