The First 30 Days
January 1, 2016 I joined the Trade ideas team to help them with the growth that is occurring with new subscribers who are discovering the software for the first time. Since I am user #3 in the system, it seemed only natural to jump on board and help since I have been associates with this group since 2003.
Like most traders, I get stuck in my ways and only use a portion of the tools that Trade Ideas was offering. Then one day in late 2015, Dan Mirkin, the CEO pulled me aside and said “Steve, you will not believe what we have created here. We now have the ability to use artificial intelligence that can optimize trading strategies and give trader’s a true edge”
He told me to just pull up the A.I. window (code named “Holly”) and watch for a month. So I did, and I was immediately impressed beyond anything I had ever seen. Trade Ideas has always been able to innovate and execute but this time I could tell this was going to be a game changer.
Casinos don’t let you count cards because it gives you the edge. Holly the A.I. engine finally gives traders an edge when it comes to discovering new trade opportunities with the wind at your back. It’s like having a professional trader that has zero emotions sitting next to you allowing you to watch and learn. There has been many times where I find myself using Holly for short term market directions. Seeing resistance areas met with short selling strategies by the unemotional robot sitting next to me has been an invaluable tool so far.
The developers at Trade Ideas continue to refine the user experience with this new technology and I am glad to be along for the ride on cutting edge fintech innovations here. - Steve Gomez
