Take a look at traderchat.com (VantagePoint blog) for some VantagePoint strategies. I have posted a couple of strategies out there that work. For an immediate idea, try trading based on the spread between the actual and predicted trends (for 6.4 that would be PTM diff). When the spread is large...

wmhays, what are you looking for exactly? I also use VP for ETFs.

Fair enough. I guess my expectations of the salespeople were different. I assumed they were purely hawking a product. If their competency was trading, I would imagine they would be traders and not salespeople. I do agree that it would be very beneficial if the VantagePoint software came with a...

Great comments. I agree that the tool is probably not for beginners. Its basically a data base of forecasts rather than a trading system. One point you made is absolutely right on....trading success is within you. Its a mental game and most people defeat themselves by trading based on emotion or...

The thing is, I am interested in the VantagePoint software not the salespeople. The software does what is claimed in terms of forecasting accuracy. As for the salespeople, I don't really care if they are knowledgeable or not. I'm not buying them.

Sophie, sounds like you are pretty upset with the software - thats a shame. Again I would tell people that the software provides pretty accurate forecasts for various securities - something that is very difficult to achieve. This is useful data for a trader. I know of no other source that...

Jezabelle, I have found VantagePoint's claims to be pretty valid. Their neural index is quite accurate as they claim. However you still need to be able to develop good trading strategies that use the VP data. Its hard to make money just from reading the graphs straight off the tool. I have...

You are right that the accuracy relates to the Neural Index and right again that this does not automatically translate into winning trades. VPs forecast data is surprisingly accurate however and if a customer is willing to put in the effort to develop trading strategies using it, those...

Problem with this approach (Visa complaint etc.) is that the tool really does do what VP says it should do. I have tested their 80% forecast accuracy claims for a number of markets and found it to be pretty valid. I suspect some salesperson said that Sophie could just look at the charts from the...

I have had the software for about a month and pretty much started making money with it after a week or so (time it took to do the initial backtesting). Having said that I have been trading with TradeStation for a while (and trading generally for a number of years) and so was pretty familiar with...

When I was looking to buy the software, I spent a fair amount of time with them on the phone and they passed on some names of people I could call who had used the software successfully. Since purchasing the software I have also spoken a number of times to their support people (813-973-3875...

Call Market Technologies and they will give you names of some people that have used the software successfully. I have had the software for a short period and have figured out some ways to make money from it. Like all tools, you have to do a fair amount of backtesting on the data to determine...
