Recognizing Patterns is the Key To Unlocking Doors

Pattern Recognition as a Service (P.R.a.a.S.) helps the individual trader do just that

  • Data Driven

    In order to develop effective rules based trading strategies, critical data point collection is required over an acceptable range of time that spans various changing market conditions. We collect this data daily and build internal reports, periodically sharing key insights with our members.

    Confidence derived from specialized knowledge is what drives our ability to continually identify opportunities that have historically offered exceptional Returns on Risk Capital (RORC).

  • Laser Focused

    All markets have their own unique patterns, temperaments and characteristics. With that said, we are specialists, not jacks of all trades. Our data collection efforts are targeted to just a handful of key market symbols that naturally offer the best point extraction opportunities by virtue of their inherent dynamics.

    Volatility creates exceptional opportunity, and we recognize that playing where there is an abundance of interest and volatility is rule #3. Our preferred ticker symbols include NQ, YM & CL as well as their corresponding micro-sized markets.

  • Rules Based

    Carefully curated “rules of engagement” undergo constant testing (historical back-testing and of course in our daily live sessions) and is where durable strategies are forged.

    Strategy is our passion and it's a cornerstone of confidence for the Money Market Mercenary participant.

    Each strategy measures key data points including but not limited to; per trade draw downs; accumulative intra-day account draw down; and considers various point extraction targets for exiting trades that align with our personal performance goals.

  • Androids vs A.I.

    Much has been said about the use of artificial intelligence and high frequency trading bots deployed into the broader markets today. Some estimates we’ve seen suggest that upwards of 90% of all trading activity is done through computer executed algorithms.

    We are however of the persuasion still that human intelligence and interpretation aided by powerful automated filtering tools (pattern recognition software) can, will and still does compete well against the machines. In the end, technical analysis looks at collective human psychology. We’ve gone Long on the idea of the human element remaining relevant for the foreseeable future.

Technical Analysis with Pattern Recognition

Technical Analysis & Pattern Recognition

Pattern Recognition is the most integral component of the broader activity of analyzing technical markers. Without the ability to successfully identify nuanced historical formations relevant to the time horizon you wish to capitalize on, monitoring traditional signals that typically work best for longer term macro movements or multi-day swing trading will prove to be unproductive for an intra-day cycle trader who requires much more precision built into their entry and exit points.

The aggregate price movements that take place within the confines of an average intra day session is enormous. Betting on a single direction for the day assumes a trend develops and while it may reduce commission costs, the majority of the profit opportunity from back and forth movement is left on the table for cycle traders.

We see incredible opportunity in being able to specialize in quick point extractions using our NCIS tool throughout the day while we allow the market to set up for our higher value trend trade opportunities on the PVR, MRT & MTLB tools. See them in action to get a feel for what’s possible.
