The Evolution Of A Toolset

The stock market is a harbinger of stark reality - resembling  an opportunist that scurries along riffling through the pockets of investors seized by decisions weeded in emotions.  For rationality, Technical Analysis was invented, and it's purpose served well, given the available  toolset - paper and writing materials.

Throughout the decades,  the investment domain has evolved, whereas Technical Analysis has only matured, therein lies the disparity - the defect. The toolset hasn't evolved for retail, and for the most part an incredible institutional advantage exist. The advantage is further compounded by the internet, an effective medium that proportionately maintains the status quo , while investors diligently search for a ripple and expect a ship nearby.

The current toolset is incapable of consistently calculating decades of information effectively, it should be that simple. Human interpretation is heavily en-grained into the process, such as interpreting curves and lines. Obviously, results will be chaotic, its based on the oscillating sentiment of an investor. Theres a better way.  

Artificial vision that scans decades of charts for similarities (similarity mode), and correlates their outcomes looking for consistency (predictability mode). Fortunately, this behavior is mechanized and executed in seconds, instead of years with the human eyes. The remarkable aspect of the technology is that responses to stimuli are observable and you can quickly determine consistency by determining if significant (80%) trending is occurring in the same direction.

The blog was implemented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the tool, pay attention to the posted signals. You may read more here
