VantagePoint Software: Redefining Trading with Artificial Intelligence (AI)

VantagePoint can analyze a stock, like Apple, and identify the thirty other global markets that collectively account for the greatest predictive influence on Apple’s stock price and future trend direction over the next few days.

VantagePoint sports a built-in feature called IntelliScan which scours thousands of markets based on user-selected trading criteria. Within seconds, IntelliScan will winnow down to a handful of markets which indicate that they are on the verge of changing trend direction and which present good trading opportunities.

3. What is your company’s roadmap?

Virtual assistants available today such as Siri or Alexa are capable AI platforms but they are just about automating what a human being can already do without AI. This is analogous to factory automation using robots. They do what humans used to do, just much faster, more accurately and more efficiently. But, VantagePoint is different than merely automating what humans can already do. Based on its neural network training, the software forecasts a trend’s direction over the next few days. This is something that simply can’t be done by a person looking at a chart of an individual market to try to figure out the future trend direction of that market and make a trading decision. The financial marketsare constantly changing, so our company has a research and development team, the Predictive Technologies Group, that is continually refining, tweaking, testing and improving VantagePoint, with each new version, to keep it abreast of these changes. We have reinvested over $10 million dollars on this effort in recent years. We will continue to refine and perfect the application of artificial intelligence to the markets so that our customers maintain their competitive edge in the markets over other traders who are still reliant upon outdated, single market, trend-following, approaches that lag behind market dynamics and which have limited, if any, actual forecasting capabilities.

4. How do you think the company will leave a footprint?

My father, as an individual trader and investor himself, wanted to put the odds in his favor to become more successful; he saw an opportunity at the inception of personal computers to develop and apply trading software to the financial markets. With this he laid the foundation for Market Technologies to develop VantagePoint’s amazing AI technologies that have helped thousands of traders all over the world become more successful and realizes their dreams. I, myself, have been involved with the company since 1995 and inherited the passion for the financial markets that my father instilled in me from an early age. He put decades of effort into developing and applying the AI technologies of neural network pattern recognition and forecasting to global inter-market analysis. I am fortunate to be able to learn from him and work with our incredible staff to build on his accomplishments as our firm approaches its 40th anniversary in 2019. Already, I’m encouraging my two young daughters to cultivate the same enthusiasm, so that one or both of them might someday follow in my father’s and my footsteps and take the company to new heights in the future. In the meantime, as its current President, I am committed to making sure that Market Technologies retains its status as the premier AI trading software company in the world in the analysis and forecasting of global financial markets.

Moreover, being a socially conscious and responsible, second generation, family-owned and operated company, the Mendelsohn family and Market Technologies have donated over $700,000 over the last ten years to charitable, non-profit organizations, including our proud partnership with Shriners Hospitals for Children, and will continue to do so as our company grows even larger.
