Jim has been trading for about 30 years. He has bought many systems, courses, etc and none of them helped him achieve the level of success he wanted. He also lacked confidence to take trades. So he got VantagePoint and knew that if he nailed one good trade it would easily pay for itself. Since getting VantagePoint his trading results have, in his words, "Sky rocketed".

Dr. Arcuri did an extensive 4-year test to verify and certify the actual accuracy if the VantagePoint forecasting software. The four year time period was from 4/24/2006 to 4/22/2010. He randomly selected thirty of the markets VantagePoint forecasts for and in all cases, the accuracy is better than 75%; and in 27 of the 30 markets the results are better than 77.0%. The average accuracy over all thirty markets is 78.04%, with a low value of 75.37% for Bank of America stock, and a high value of 80.06% for Cisco stock.

Peter has been able to CHANGE his LIFE! He is a very successful trader. At first he was scared of the price. Now he can make that much in a single trade! This is how he does it.

A 20 year stock trader, Mike got VantagePoint to make bigger profits and reduce losses. He uses VantagePoint everyday. He made all of his money back on his first trade with VantagePoint.

* VantagePoint’s accuracy statistics were computed on out-of-sample price data utilizing neural networks trained on both single market and intermarket data and relate to the Neural Index which indicates whether the average of tomorrow’s typical price and the typical price of the day after tomorrow (both unknowns at this time) are expected to be higher or lower than the average of yesterday’s typical price and the typical price of the day before yesterday. The numerical value of the Neural Index, either a one (1) or a zero (0) thereby indicates whether or not the trend direction is expected to be higher or lower for each target market over the next two days. A Neural Network accuracy statistic of 80% does not mean that eight out of ten trades will be winning trades. VantagePoint is not a trading system that gives the same specific buy and sell signals to all users. It is a technical forecasting tool that is comprised of proprietary forecasting indicators that apply neural networks to market data for the purpose of finding patterns and relationships between markets and then using this information to make futuristic forecasts. Using these indicators each trader determines his or her own entries, exits and stop placements which may vary from those of other traders due to differences among traders in trading style, objectives, risk propensity, account size and number of contracts involved, thereby producing different trading results from one trader to another. Futures and options trading involves risk, is not for every trader, and only risk capital should be used.
