This Looks Like a Very Interesting Way to Track Market Sentiment in Realtime.

Recommended Posts

I just signed up for this funky artificial intelligence driven by real traders thingy

 

"OpenFutur.es plans to harness the power of large numbers of participating traders to accurately predict movement of the S&P 500."

 

http://www.openfutur.es/

 

It's free and relatively new, and I have no affiliation just think it looks promising.

Anyone using this, or similar apps?

Considering that 80% traders are losing money, I don't think the "large numbers of participants" will "predict" the movements correctly.

 

Yeah but the system doesn't treat everyone's calls as equal, the point is it tracks a bunch of people and decides which to fade and which are accurate and weights them by different factors to arrive at what is the most probable trade,,, so i gather.

If 80% people predict the direction incorrectly, wouldn't that be a high probability signal to fade their prediction?

Weighting the votes sounds interesting. For some reason, I still don't think it will work. Maybe I've read too much of warnings that any chatroom tips, "guru" advices, etc. etc. will lead a trader to doom.

 

It will be interesting to watch the progress of this site though. Thanks

Thanks for bringing this to our focus.

 

Interesting approach that they use, pretty clever.

They reward people that make good prognoses.

 

The better you get the more the system provides you with better information.

 

 

But:

If you don't (yet) have an edge by yourself the thing is worthless because you get delayed information.

 

If you make good prognoses it would really be stupid to give them away to them because you can be 100% sure that they will take advantage of it thereby ruining your edge.

 

And after your edge is gone (the market always adapts if you use a strategy on large scale) they will just move to watch the next user who has discovered a working strategy.

 

Guess they thought about that too. So they know they will never attract people that already have a special edge. They probably count on statistics: Weighting the opinions of many mediocre traders that are just good enough (or consistably bad - special jewels) shall give them an advantage. For that reason you can be sure that they will give you information that is less valuable to you than the information that you provide to them.

 

So it might be better to spend time on searching for a real edge. The idea of looking for the commitments of other traders and where they enter into trades is a good starting point.

uexkuell i disagree, there's no way it's going to spoil your edge - users don't share the logic to their trading with anyone, you just share your timing for short / long / neutral. pretty hard to reverse engineer someones edge based only on their timing. as far as the delay, the signals are not for scalps, they seem to last anywhere from 3 hours to 3 days, so a 30min delay for newcomers isn't that big of a deal. right now i see there appears to only be 27 people using this though, i'll be interested to see how it preforms once there is 100+. in the past few days since i started paying attention to it, it's been pretty spot on for swing trades, there are no set targets or anything given - that's up to you, but the overall bias it has relayed has been reliable so far. i'm discretionary and would never trade strictly off of a system like this, but it could become a nice compliment to ones trading. just another indicator when it comes down to it, but anything based on behavior of real traders is useful imo.

    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.
