An industry-veteran innovator empowering traders Everyday: Vantagepoint A.I. LLC
The Silicon Review
Vantagepoint A.I. LLC traces its roots back to a visionary inception sparked by Louis (Lou) Mendelsohn, who drew upon his exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) during his tenure at Carnegie Mellon in the 1960s. Recognizing the untapped potential of AI in empowering independent traders, Mendelsohn founded the company in 1979 with a clear mission: to equip traders with tools that could rival those of Wall Street. Initially focusing on historical backtesting and simulations, the company shifted its focus in the late 1980s to harness the power of AI for financial market forecasting. In 1991, VantagePoint Software emerged as the pioneer in AI-driven trading software, tailored specifically for individual traders. This groundbreaking software offered predictive insights into market movements 1–3 days in advance, boasting an impressive accuracy rate of up to 87.4%. Today, Vantagepoint AI, LLC, remains at the forefront of the industry, providing AI market forecasting software to independent traders worldwide.
With a comprehensive set of tools, Vantagepoint enables traders to forecast over 2,300 assets, including stocks, ETFs, futures, forex pairs, and cryptocurrencies. Leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, traders can make informed decisions with confidence, staying ahead of market trends and maximizing their trading opportunities. As a trusted partner for traders seeking to compete in the dynamic world of finance, Vantagepoint AI, LLC, continues to innovate and empower traders with the tools they need to succeed.
In conversation with Lane Mendelsohn, President of Vantagepoint A.I. LLC
Q. What sets Vantagepoint A.I. apart from other trading software providers, particularly in terms of its AI-driven approach to market analysis?
Vantagepoint A.I. distinguishes itself from other trading software providers in several key areas, emphasizing its AI-driven approach to market analysis. Firstly, its accuracy is not only proven but also verified by third parties, reaching up to 87.4%—a claim unmatched in the industry. Additionally, the company's longevity is noteworthy; having been in operation for 45 years, it has offered AI solutions for traders since 1991, showcasing a depth of experience and adaptation over decades. Lastly, Vantagepoint A.I.'s innovative edge is further solidified by holding two proprietary U.S. patents. These patents cover the unique methodologies of performing intermarket analysis using neural networks and calculating predictive technical indicators, setting Vantagepoint apart in the realm of financial technology.
Q. Could you explain the role of neural networks in Vantagepoint's predictive modeling and how they contribute to the accuracy of market forecasts?
Neural networks play a pivotal role in Vantagepoint's predictive modeling by processing vast amounts of raw data through interconnected layers. These layers include the input layer, which ingests data, the hidden layer, where complex computations occur, and the output layer, which generates forecasts. In more detail, the input layer receives extensive data inputs, while the hidden layer processes this data using interconnected nodes or neurons. These neurons are specialized in various aspects of data analysis and mimic certain functions of the human brain. Through rigorous training, these neurons become adept at identifying patterns and relationships within the data.
Finally, the output layer synthesizes the insights from the hidden layer to produce forecasts. In the context of market forecasting, neural networks enable Vantagepoint to predict future price movements of assets like Nvidia ($NVDA), Tesla ($TSLA), or Meta ($META), enhancing the accuracy of market forecasts.
Q. Vantagepoint's software provides traders with forecasts up to three days in advance. How does the AI "brain" anticipate market trends, and how do traders leverage this information to optimize their trading decisions?
VantagePoint's AI-driven software leverages three decades of market forecasting experience and a vast repository of historical data to anticipate market trends. With over 2,300 assets analyzed daily, traders receive forecasts up to three days in advance. The AI processes an immense amount of data, up to 90 input values per market, with each input comprising up to 7 values, totaling 630 data points per market or 1,450,000 for all supported markets daily. Including forecasts for Options traders, the AI manages over 1 billion data points daily. This level of data analysis surpasses human capacity but is manageable for VantagePoint's AI, thanks to years of research, development, and training. Traders utilize this predictive power by integrating AI insights into their decision-making process through user-friendly software. By optimizing their trading strategies based on anticipated market trends, traders can make informed decisions and potentially improve their trading outcomes.
Q. The company holds patents on technologies that merge intermarket analysis with neural networks. Can you discuss the significance of this innovation and how it has reshaped the landscape of technical analysis in financial markets?
Vantagepoint's patents on merging intermarket analysis with neural networks represent a significant innovation in the field of technical analysis within financial markets. The first patent focuses on Intermarket Analysis, which involves analyzing global market data to identify the 30 most influential markets impacting a specific stock, such as Nvidia ($NVDA). This process dynamically adjusts the weightings of each market over time and utilizes pattern recognition and forecasting techniques to provide actionable insights into future price movements. The second patent converts traditional lagging indicators like Bollinger Bands and MACD into leading indicators, enhancing their predictive capabilities. By combining these two proprietary advancements, traders gain a substantial edge over traditional manual analysis methods. This innovative fusion of intermarket analysis and neural networks has fundamentally reshaped how technical analysis is conducted in financial markets, empowering traders with unprecedented predictive capabilities and insights into market trends.
