We utilize statistical methods, artificial intelligence, and behavioral science to enhance our trading and investment strategies. We don't try to predict where a specific stock's price or the market should be. Instead, we often predict people's reactions and then make our trade entry and exit decisions. We concluded our initial research in April, 2024 and began trading on May 10, 2024. The machines don't do it all - yet. And, no, we don't use any leverage. Our average holding period is about three days. The shortest was two minutes, and the longest has been two weeks. Click here if you have some ideas you would like to share. |
