Become a Better Trader in 10 Minutes

Become a Better Trader in 10 Minutes

If you think you’re too busy to find profitable trades, then ask yourself if you have 600 seconds. Because if you’re ready to become a better trader, that’s all it really takes.

That’s right, in ten minutes or less, you can drastically improve your odds of trading success.

With the help of VantagePoint Trading Software, traders can invest 10 minutes per day to maximize their success in the markets. While the program may be using literal rocket science behind the scenes (see: artificial intelligence), the execution is actually quite simple. Because the more complex a trading system is, generally speaking, the more confusing it is to understand.

Below, we outline the 3 simple steps to utilizing VantagePoint’s Artificial Intelligence software to become a better trader.

Step 1: Build a Portfolio of Stocks

The financial sector took a beating in early 2016. Market volatility was high, low oil prices hurt banks with exposure to energy loans and the political race stirred the idea of Wall Street regulation. After finally rallying back from the early 2016 lows, the surprise Brexit “yes” vote sent things spiraling again.

Of course, not all financial stocks will rally (or fall) at the same pace or at the same time so it’s important to look at different markets at different times and trade where there is an opportunity.

Maybe you have a thing for healthcare stocks. Or perhaps you only like to take long positions in tech stocks. Maybe you want to see what’s happening in the Futures markets? (hint – not a good day for that!)

VantagePoint forecasts for over 2000 stocks in 5 different countries, 67 futures markets, various ETFs and over 10 different Forex pairs. Creating different trading portfolios for different sectors and different trading styles is key and can reduce the time required for daily market analysis. Save as many portfolios as you’d like, name them as you please. When you’re ready to analyze your portfolios move to step 2.

Step 2: Scan your Portfolios for the Best Trading Opportunities

So you have decided you are bullish on the financial sector and want to take a long trade in a stock that has strong upside potential. It can be done in seconds. Using the IntelliScan® you can quickly identify advantageous trading conditions in charts or reports that are open in a portfolio.

IntelliScan® indicators can help you quickly narrow your focus to only those markets that meet your specific criteria. In this example, VantagePoint scanned 110 stocks and found four that are good candidates for a long trade by filtering for recent crossovers to the upside in the short, medium and long-term trend. The additional filters can be added that provide extra confirmation that these four stocks are likely to head higher in the next few days.

Step 3: Use the Charts to Confirm the Trade

Now that you’ve found potential long trades in the financial sector, it’s time to analyze your charts. Unlike traditional market lagging indicators, VantagePoint’s Predicted Moving Average doesn’t simply look at past price data, it forecasts 1-3 days in advance, alerting you to impending trend changes before they occur.

As you can see below, when the blue line crosses above or below the black line, a trend reversal is about to take place. Once the reversal occurs, the trend is likely to continue until the next predictive crossover takes place. With this “jump” on the markets, traders see a huge improvement in their timing and direction, ultimately leading to more profitable results.

Another powerful forecasting tool within VantagePoint is the Predicted Neural Index. This green oscillator forecasts the short-term strength or weakness of a trend. When the Neural Index has a value of 1 the market will likely move higher over the next two days. When it is at a 0 the market will likely move lower over that time period. VantagePoint’s Predicted Neural Index can be used in conjunction with its Predicted Moving Average crossovers to give you additional confirmation, which will give you more confidence to enter or exit a trade at the onset of a trend reversal – often days before other traders even figure out what’s going on.
