                          program code for choosing a plurality of input variables that are                      
                   market-related to the output variable;                                                        
                          program code for obtaining market data for the output variable                         
                   and the input variables over a predetermined time period;                                     
                          program code for constructing at least one training set of data                        
                   from the obtained market data for the output variable and the input                           
                   variables;                                                                                    
                          program code for calculating a weight to be assigned to each of                        
                   the input variables using the at least one training set of data to reflect a                  
                   correlation between the output variable and the input variable as found                       
                   in the obtained market data; and                                                              
                          program code for generating an output value for the output                             
                   variable to predict a next price movement in the financial market                             
                   based on the calculating of the weights; and                                                  
                                 program code for predicting the next price movement in                          
                   the financial market based on a majority of output values being                               
                   substantially the same.                                                                       
                   10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the                                      
                   program code for choosing input variable comprises:                                           
                          program code for calculating a variable from a plurality of                            
                   existing financial variables available in the financial market; and                           
                          program code for choosing the calculated variable as a second                          
                   one of the plurality of input variables.                                                      
                   15. The computerized method of claim 1, further comprising the                                
                   step of transforming the output value to a score.                                             
                   19.  The computer-readable medium of claim 8, further comprising                              
                   program code for transforming the output value to a score.
