A.I. & Momentum Trading Coach
Introduction
Welcome to an era where A.I. isn't just assisting traders; it's revolutionizing the
entire landscape of the stock market. In a world where milliseconds can make a
significant difference in trading outcomes, artificial intelligence has emerged as a
game-changer, providing traders with an unprecedented level of precision and
insight.
A.I. gives traders the power to not only view complex problems (the stock market)
with clarity, but understand the process and actions needed (strategies & trades)
to get to the solution (potential profits).
As a former pro trader and current educator to hundreds of students, I have tried
my very best to be at the forefront of the A.I. revolution. I do this because I have
been trading for a very very long time and I recognize the immense potential of
A.I. in trading. With A.I., traders can potentially gain an edge in the markets that
they’ve never had before.
That is the reason I made this guide- to welcome you into the world of trading with
A.I. and introduce you to what I believe is the BEST A.I. trading tool that can give
you that edge. Throughout this guide, I will show you how to harnesses the power
of trading A.I. to help you with:
Options 101
Before exploring the impact of our groundbreaking A.I. Trade Finder, let's establish
a foundation in basic options terminology and concepts.
What is an Option?
An option is a special kind of contract that gives you the right to buy or sell a
stock at a predetermined price, known as the strike price. Unlike buying a stock
outright, with an option, you're not buying the stock itself but the right to purchase
it in the future.
Types of Options:
Call Options: These are like having a voucher to buy a stock at a specific price. If
you believe a stock's price will go up, you use a call option to secure a lower
purchase price.
Strike Price: This is the price at which you can buy (call) or sell (put) the stock. It's
fixed and agreed upon when you purchase the option.
Expiration Date: This is when the option expires. If you haven't exercised your
option by this date, it becomes worthless. Typically, this is the third Friday of the
option's month.
Options 101
The pricing of options can be complex, but it's crucial to understand it to make
informed trading decisions.
Intrinsic Value: This value represents the current worth of the option based on the
stock's current price. It's the difference between the stock's current price and the
option's strike price.
Extrinsic Value (Time Value): This is additional value based on the time left until
the option expires. The longer the time to expiration, the higher the extrinsic value.
This value can fluctuate based on market trends and volatility.
Understanding Premiums: The option premium is the price you pay to hold the
option. It's calculated per share but usually involves 100 shares per option
contract. For instance, a $2.50 premium means a total cost of $250 for a standard
option contract.
A.I. technology is reshaping how traders approach the options market, offering
sophisticated tools to analyze and predict market trends.
Efficient Market Analysis: A.I. can quickly and accurately analyze market trends,
helping to identify profitable trading opportunities.
Strategy Optimization: With A.I., traders can refine their strategies, tailoring them
to current market conditions and personal trading goals.
In a market filled with various A.I. trading tools, selecting the right one is crucial
for success. There are a number of ‘minimum viable’ considerations that traders
should look for in their next (or first) A.I. trading too:
● User Experience: The best A.I. software should be intuitive and easy to
navigate, even for beginners.
● Accuracy and Performance: Look for tools with a proven track record of
accurate market predictions and robust performance.
● Actionable Insights: The A.I. tool should not only analyze data but also
provide clear, actionable insights that you can easily understand and apply.
So- what exactly can you do with the A.I. Trade Finder?
2. Run comprehensive Backtests across the entire market. Enter 1-5 stock
tickers, and set a backtesting timeframe and options expiration period. Get
strategies, earnings opportunities, and technical signals that narrow your
trades down to only the best-performing options.
5. Set Automated Real Time Alerts to notify you when a stock (or group of
stocks) meet your scanning criteria. Whether it be your own custom scan, a
Pre-Built Pro scan, or an individual stock that you’ve chosen to monitor.
Now, let’s break down each one of these features to see how they can potentially
help YOU improve your trading.
● Dashboard of Real Time Trade Ideas using more than 20 pre-built technical
strategies ranging from Beginner to Advanced.
● Bollinger Buy the Dip ● Bearish Bursts
● MACD Momentum ● Pre-Earnings: 14-day Diagonal
● Buy the Sell-off ● Pre-Earnings: 3-day Call
● Buy the Dip ● Pre-Earnings: 7-day Call
● Fade the Dip ● Pre-Earnings: 14-day Call
● Long Strangle Technical ● Post Earnings: Short Put Spread
● Bullish Bursts
● Trade ideas begin generating and displaying on your dashboard starting at 7am
PT / 10am ET and updated with real time data every 30 minutes.
● Trade ideas are displayed on a Comprehensive Dashboard, broken down by
strategy along with a list of stocks that have triggered that strategy on that day.
● Filter your trade idea results by stock exchange (Dow 30; NASDAQ 100; Largest
500; All).
● Set real time alerts based on the strategies displayed in your dashboard.
Comprehensive Backtesting
The backtesting feature of the A.I. Trade Finder is perhaps the most crucial
aspect of this powerful software.
Backtesting, in the simplest terms, is like a time machine for traders. It allows you
to travel back in time to see how a particular trading strategy would have
performed in the past.
Each of the trade ideas that are uncovered by the A.I. Trade Finder meet a strict
backtest criteria before getting triggered, ensuring that you have the historical
data to potentially prove out each trade BEFORE you enter.
For a backtest to qualify for a trigger, it must show a win rate above 50% for both
1-year and 3-year time periods, and at least 2 wins total over 3 years. The percent
gain must be a minimum of 15% over 1 year, but can vary slightly based on scan
type.
● Generate backtest results for any ticker across multiple time periods (6
months up to 10 years) with 20+ different pre-built stock and option
strategies as well as custom strategies that can be modified by the user.
● Modify backtest results based on Long or Short positions, earnings handling,
and opening & closing rules.
● Review actual trade logs from historical backtests (i.e. trade dates, position
sizes, entry & exit prices, and P&L).
● Review important metrics from any backtest result:
○ Total $ Risked
○ Total $ Return
○ Total % Return on the chosen backtest period
○ Average % Return per trade on the chosen backtest period
○ Number of Trades Won/Lost
○ Average $ Won/Lost
○ Gross Gain/Lost
The Pro Scan feature of the A.I. Trade Finder allows you to analyze the entire
market, filter by some of the BEST trading strategies, and get a detailed view of
potentially successful trades across various time frames.
● Run a pre-built, professional grade scans across the entire market or filter by
Dow 30, NASDAQ 100 or Largest 500 stocks.
● Choose from more than 30 different pre-built strategies to create your Pro
Scanner. Strategies range categorically based on earnings handling - you
can can select to Never Trade Earnings, Only Trade Earnings, Post-Earnings,
and Pre-Earnings.
● Scans will generate a list of 0-100+ stocks that have been back tested with
the specific strategy that the scan is based on and the user can filter and
sort the list based on the Ticker Name , # of Wins, # of Losses, Win Rate (%),
Avg Trade Return (%), Total Backtest Return (%), Backtest Length, Next
Earnings Date or the Last Earnings Move.
● Every ticker generated on the list can be clicked on to review the trades, the
strategy, and the win/loss percentage for the specific backtest of the ticker
that was chosen (1 year, 2 years or 3+ years)
○ For example, a Covered Call (a non-earnings strategy) scan may
generate 3 different results for AAPL. In this case, each of the results
displayed in the scan will be relevant for a different backtesting period.

TIME OUT!
You’ve now learned a little bit about how A.I. is completely changing
the trading game. With A.I. Trading Software, retail traders are now
leveling the playing field with Wall Street because more and more
traders are getting access to advanced A.I. Trading software.
You’ve also learned a little bit about one of my favorite A.I. Trading
tools that I’ve been using: what I call the A.I. Trade Finder, and how it
is revolutionizing how traders use A.I.
So…What’s next?
Well I wouldn’t be a very good coach if I just told you about how I
believe this A.I. software is one of the BEST out there…I want to
SHOW you the A.I. Trade Finder in action too!
When we log into our dashboard, we see that a lot of the work has already been
done for us. The A.I. is constantly scanning thousands of stocks to see if any
meet the criteria of our active scanners:
Let’s zoom in on one of the scans that we’ve been running: the Bullish Bursts
On each of our active scans, we will see a a return %, and win/loss rate. So what
the A.I. is telling us here is that Visa (NYSE: V) triggered today for the Bullish
Bursts set up:
So where exactly does the return %, win and loss number come from?
That’s the kicker- Visa recently met the criteria of our scanner because the
A.I. is looking at how Visa performed historically - when this Bullish Burst
set up occurred.
So what the software is telling us is that Visa has met the Bullish Bursts
criteria 13 total times over the backtest period; and if we had followed the
recommended strategy during those 13 trades, we would have had a 436%
gain over time with 10 wins and 3 losses.
When we click into Visa to get details on the type of strategy the A.I. is
recommending, we’ll see the following page:
In the middle the of the page you'll see something like this, which explains the
criteria behind the Bullish Burst set up that triggered for Visa:
● The stock price needs to be above the EMA over the last 10 days
● Yesterday's stock price needs to be below Yesterday's 10 day EMA
● The stock price must be above the 200 Day SMA
● The 50 Day SMA needs to be greater than the underlying price
● And the 20 Day RSI needs to be below 70
You don’t need to understand what all this means, this is just the criteria that Visa
needed to hit to qualify for this Bullish Burst set up.
Next on the page we see a section that breaks down the results of this strategy
over time (i.e. the backtest results). This tells us that if we had taken action on all
of the times that Visa triggered the Bullish Bear and bought the 40 delta calls that
have an expiration of about 14 days, we would have had a total gain of 436% with
10 wins and 3 losses.
If we click the table from the previous slide, it expands to a bigger table that
literally shows every single trade over time that account for that 436% gain.
And lastly, in the top left we see this, which is basically telling us us that the trade
should be set with a 60% stop and profits should be taken after a 40% gain
1) Its telling us to look at the stock Visa (triggered by the bullish bear scan)
2) Its telling us to just buy simple calls, no complex option spreads here
3) Its giving us the information to tell us to buy the $237.5 strike calls expiring
in about 14 days with a 60% stop and 40% limit
And that’s it! 6 steps later and the A.I. Trade Finder helped us find a name to trade,
determine the BEST strategy to use on that name, AND even recommended a trade
set up for the next time Visa meets our criteria.
TIME OUT!
1. You’ve learned a little bit about options and how they can be
powerful AND straightforward for almost any trader.
2. You’ve learned how A.I. is changing the trading game and how
it’s helping people find better trades faster.
3. You’ve learned how you can utilize this A.I. Trade Finder into
your own trading so that you can find more high profit potential
trades with less work.
So…What’s next?
OPTION #1
Go For It On Your Own
While I truly believe the A.I. Trade Finder is a groundbreaking tool that should
be able to help anyone find and execute high profit potential trades, the hard
truth is that it is not 100% fool-proof. Just because the A.I. software
recommends a trade, doesn’t mean you should always take it…
My fear with some traders trying this out on their own is that they will take
the first few trades that the A.I. recommends, potentially lose on those
trades, not understand what you did wrong, then give up.
And I wouldn’t be a very good teacher if I just let everyone try this on their
own, only to give up a few weeks later.
The truth is, times are changing quickly, and just because the A.I. Trade
Finder can backtest across millions of different data points does not mean
that it will be 100% accurate every time. So, there is some level of trading
knowledge that needs to be applied in order to truly succeed with the A.I.
Trade Finder.
OPTION #2
Copy my A.I. generated live trade signals and have me mentor
you each day (even if just 1 hour a day)
For those of you who are humbly admitting that you might need more help,
you’re in luck…
Everyday I host a live trading room where I utilize my A.I. Trade Finder, along
with my other strategies and indicators, to hand pick trades for my students.
Each trade that I pick for my students is run through the A.I. to determine the
optimal timing, the best strategy to use, and the price to execute at…even if
the name wasn’t recommended by the A.I.!
My A.I. Stocks & Options Room is designed to help you take advantage of
A.I. without being overwhelmed:
● Watchlist delivered to your inbox every morning with the stocks I’m
looking to trade that day
● Access to me live during the day to help you manage trades and
answer questions
OPTION #2 (continued)
ATM (at-the-money): An ATM option’s exercise price is equal to or near the price of the
underlying asset.
Calendar (time) Spread: An options trade that involves the simultaneous sale of an option with
a particular expiration date and strike price, and purchase of an option with a different
expiration date but the same strike price.
Call Options: Call options give the owner the right to buy the underlying asset.
Delta: Measures the behavior, characteristics, and value of an option in relation to the
underlying asset. Delta is the rate of change in the theoretical value of an option for a $1.00
change in the underlying asset.
Exercise Price: The price at which the underlying asset may be purchased or sold.
Gamma: Measures delta curvature. It is the rate at which an option gains or loses deltas over a
$1.00 change in the price of an underlying security.
Historical Volatility: A measurement of how much a contract’s price has fluctuated over a
period of time in the past. It is a very strong indicator of a stock’s future performance.
Implied Volatility: The implied volatility is what is implied by the current market prices. It is
used with theoretical models.
ITM (in-the-money): When a call option’s exercise (strike) price is lower than the underlying
asset price. Also, when a put option’s exercise (strike) price is higher than the underlying
asset price.
Leap Options: Options that expire more than one year away.
Near-Term Options: Options that expire in the first three expiration months.
Options: A security that represents the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at a
specified price (STRIKE PRICE), until a specified time (EXPIRATION DATE). If an option is not
exercised before the expiration date, it will expire, or cease to exist.
OTM (out-of-the-money): Has no intrinsic value. A call option is out-of-the-money when its
exercise price is higher than the underlying asset’s price. A put option is out-of-the-money
when its exercise price is lower than the underlying asset’s price.
Premium: The price of an option. It is determined by many factors, including the current price
of the asset, the strike price of the option, the time remaining until expiration, interest rates,
dividends, and volatility.
Put Options: Put options give the owner the right to sell an underlying asset.
Ratio Vertical Spread: A strategy in which a trader either sells 1 lower strike call and buys 2
higher strike calls (call spread) or when a trader sells 1 higher strike put and buys 2 lower
strike puts (put spread).
Resistance: Occurs at a price level where selling is strong enough to prevent a stock from
rising higher.
Rho: The change in option value that results from a change in interest rates. The theoretical
value changes in relation to a one-percentage-point movement in the underlying interest rate.
Risk/Reward: The amount of risk a trader is willing to take in relation to the reward in the
particular trade.
Spread Trading: An options spread is a position that consists of two or more options that are
traded at the same time or as close in succession as possible.
Strike Price: The price at which the underlying asset may be purchased or sold.
Support: Occurs at a price level where buying is strong enough to prevent a stock from falling
lower.
Theta: The rate at which an option loses value as the amount of time to expiration changes.
Theta is also known as the time decay factor; all options lose value as expiration
approaches.
Vega: The amount by which the price of an option changes when the volatility changes.
Vertical Spread: A trade in which a call (put) option is bought (sold) at one strike price and
expiration date and another call (put) option with the same expiration date but different strike
price is sold (bought).
Vertical Time Spread: A combination of the vertical spread and the calendar (time) spread.
Volatility: A measure of the amount an asset or security is expected to fluctuate over a given
period of time.
*Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are
described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to
achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp
differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results
subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of
hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit
of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no
hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in
actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular
trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also
adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to
the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which
cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results
and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.
