Day traders rely more on the short term forecast of trend and put most of their emphasis on VantagePoint's predicted highs and lows. If VantagePoint predicts tomorrow will be an up day, day traders can wait for the market to trade down toward the predicted low, then enter a long position which can be closed out intra-day at or near the predicted high. The reverse would involve entering a short position at or near the predicted high on a day expected to be down. Both of these data vendors are compatible and are very reasonable in their monthly charges. If you have a data vendor other than these listed above, for the nominal monthly charge, it will be worth picking one that is directly compatible as it will be much more convenient for you.
Neural networks are a mathematical tool that can analyze large amounts of data from related markets.
Neural networks are very well-suited to intermarket analysis because they can be used to quantify relationships and find complex hidden patterns between related markets. Each VantagePoint program is custom designed and tailored to that specific market. What affects the Bond market may not necessarily affect Heating Oil or the Japanese Yen. Because VantagePoint's neural networks are fully developed and pre-trained, traders can fill the gap in their technical analysis arsenal and begin applying intermarket analysis immediately, without having to reinvent the wheel or to become a rocket scientist. If you want to learn more about neural networks, you can read Mr. Mendelsohn's articles or book chapters which are included in their entirety on this website.
