The 30-Day Advantage: How AI Is Redefining Short-Term Trading

    Date:

    Editor’s Note: In times like these – when markets can swing from calm to chaos overnight – every investor is left wondering: What’s the smartest move right now?

    When the future feels increasingly uncertain, it’s the near-term opportunities that can make all the difference. That’s where our partner TradeSmith enters the picture, with a powerful new tool designed for today’s unpredictable landscape: An-E (short for Analytical Engine).

    It’s a cutting-edge AI system that forecasts the one-month price movements of thousands of stocks, ETFs, and funds. Unlike generic models, An-E crafts a unique forecast for each asset – trained on 1.3 quadrillion data points and more than 50,000 backtests. And this Wednesday, April 16 at 8:00 p.m. EST, the folks at TradeSmith will be debuting this powerful system at The AI Predictive Power Event. (You can click here to reserve your seat now).

    This isn’t about making wild bets on where the market will be a year from now. It’s about acting on precise, high-confidence projections over the next 30 days, helping investors adapt faster, limit losses, and position themselves for gains no matter the macro backdrop.

    With volatility shaking even the most seasoned traders, knowing what’s likely to fall – or rise – in the short term can be a critical edge. That’s why today, we’re joined by TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan to explore how AI is reshaping the way we navigate market turmoil… and seize opportunities others might miss.

    It felt like the world was ending. 

    Almost exactly five years ago, as the COVID-19 virus amplified from a concentrated contagion to a full-blown pandemic, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) – aka, the market’s “fear index” – closed at the highest level ever seen. 

    At the same time, the S&P 500 saw its third-largest one-day percentage drop in history: a whopping -11.98% loss. 

    We all had similar feelings this week, following the 10% nosedive – a record $5 trillion loss – in the S&P 500 after President Trump’s tariff announcement on Wednesday, April 2. 

    The market has since rebounded following the president’s decision to pause reciprocal tariffs on countries other than China. 

    But as we learned back in 2020, when the uncertainty is extremely high rather than running for the hills, all we have to do is adjust how we trade

    And our latest breakthrough at TradeSmith may provide the ideal solution…

    With a technology we’ve heard about nonstop for the past two years: artificial intelligence.

    Protect and Profit With AI – Even in Panic

    A lot of today’s chatter about artificial intelligence is about “the future” – about AI’s potential, and the great things this technology can achieve. 

    But at TradeSmith, we don’t have to visualize too far into the future. 

    For us, that “future” is already here.

    We’ve figured out how AI can deliver market-beating wealth – and not just on the easy, good days. 

    What we’ve created can help you thrive even in the worst market conditions.

    And that means recognizing opportunities, yes, but also sidestepping danger. That’s where TradeSmith’s proprietary AI trading algorithm – An-E, short for analytical engine – comes in. 

    What sets An-E apart from the crowd is that it can forecast stock prices one month into the future… and many of these forecasts are incredibly accurate. 

    And it’s not just useful for stocks that are set to go up… An-E also zeroes in on the losers, too. 

    Because as we’ve well learned, playing defense in today’s volatile market can be just as valuable as offense – and An-E does both.

    Take Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY), for example. 

    • Price at the Time of Projection: $46.21
    • Projected Price: $49.23 by April 2, 2025
    • Confidence Level: 70%

    On March 3, 2025, An-E projected that the stock would rise from $46.21 to $49.23 within 21 trading days – a projected gain of 6.53%, backed by a 70% confidence level, signaling An-E’s strong conviction in the forecast. 

    And the result? By April 1, 2025, OXY

    just about hit that target at $49.19 – locking in a gain of 6.44% in just 20 trading days. 

    A modest gain, but when you repeat that rhythm over a year the results can really add up. 

    But there’s so much more to An-E than just picking winners when market conditions are calm…

    On March 4, 2025, An-E projected that Light & Wonder Inc. (LNW) would fall from $106.60 to $92.52 in 21 trading days – a projected drop of 13.20%. That confidence gauge came in at a 63%.

    And as projected, by April 2, 2025, LNW dropped to $91.95 for an actual loss of 13.74%. 

    Think about it. If you’d seen that one of the stocks you were thinking about buying had a 63% chance of dropping in the next month, would you still buy it? I don’t think so. 

    And in market conditions like these, avoiding the losers can be just as valuable than finding the winners – if not more.
