With TradeSmart you can create your Securities and Cash portfolio and register all of your trading activity in a friendly user interface, while implementing a simple Investment Strategy. Mr. Robert Lichello, (Sep 12, 1926 – Feb. 01, 2001), in his book “How To Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market” created a mathematical investment method for the Stock Market that he called “Automatic Investment Management” or AIM. This method is based on the natural up and down cycles of the stock market prices. If you apply AIM with discipline during medium or long term periods, you may benefit from AIM's ability to calculate buy prices and quantities at low levels relative to your portfolio cost, and to sell them at a higher price to cash the profit. All these buy and sell actions are made at a measured pace in order to protect the Portfolio value and cash reserve and, on the other hand, to increase the Portfolio value. TradeSmart is inspired by this Investment Strategy, and instead of realizing a lost when the stock price falls, it suggests incremental buying quantities based on its mathematical procedure to average your cost to a lower value. To know more about Mr. Robert Lichello's AIM method, we suggest that you read his book “How to make $ 1,000,000 in the Stock Market” where it is clearly and thoroughly explained. TradeSmart is also a simple and easy way to record all of your trading activity and keep track of your portfolio performance, even if you decide not to follow the Calculated Orders. With TradeSmart you can create your Securities and Cash portfolio and register all of your trading activity in a friendly user interface. TradeSmart allows you to keep your entire Portfolio information and reports in a single consolidated application showing you different reports about the status and performance of your portfolio along with access to charts, financial information and your Online Trading website. Some of the Screen Views TradeSmart shows are: Portfolio Summary Portfolio Value History Chart Stock Detail Position and Status Next Calculated Trades for each Stock AIM Trading Report Unrealized P & L Realized P & L Trading History. Links to Charts and financial information Link to your Online Trading page And More… With TradeSmart you will receive calculated market orders ,that include the price and quantity of shares to sell, and also the price and the amount of shares to buy. TradeSmart allows you to place a Limit Order with your brokerage account in order to execute the AIM calculated buy or sell orders at the moment your stock reaches one of the calculated prices. It is a Set-and-Forget system. You do not need to be watching the stock market every day. Just place your calculated order and let your broker do the work for you. With TradeSmart you will know how much and when to buy, sell, or when to hold your position. It reduces the risk by continuously protecting the equity value as well as the cash reserve by selling stocks at a profit, and buying them at lower prices. You may also enter a stock price in the "Simulation" section and receive a calculated trade quantity for that price, or you may try various scenarios by entering simulated or actual trading prices, and then registering the calculated results as "New Trades", in order to see the simulated portfolio performance. TradeSmart is NOT a trading platform and it does NOT provide any finantial advisories. TardeAlert only implements Mr. Lichello's AIM mathematical method with the benefit of computing power and some added features, like the customization of key parameters, calculating Next Market Orders, showing portfolio position, trade history, P&L, and more.
Trading Agent

Trading Agent is a stock research and analytics tool for self-directed investors who want evidence instead of hype. Most stock apps claim accuracy; almost none show their record. Trading Agent takes the opposite approach: every call our model has ever made is timestamped in a public log, then scored against what actually happened — wins and misses alike. You judge the evidence yourself. WHAT YOU GET • Coverage across 16 markets: US, Canada, UK, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, India • Technical indicators per ticker: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, SMA, ATR • The model's verified track record per ticker — every past call scored won or lost, misses included • SEC filings for US tickers: material events (8-K) and insider transactions (Form 4), straight from regulator filings • Macro context: VIX, dollar index, gold, oil, Treasury yields • Interface in 11 languages QUANT WORKBENCH • Portfolio simulator: Sharpe, Sortino, max drawdown • Factor analysis and PCA decomposition • Walk-forward validation and signal-decay measurement • Market regime detection (volatility × trend) • Stress testing and Monte Carlo simulation HOW THE SCORING WORKS An XGBoost machine-learning pipeline is trained per market and validated walk-forward — the model is only ever tested on data it has not seen. Model calls are logged before they resolve and marked won or lost once the horizon passes. Performance varies by market, horizon, and volatility regime; instead of quoting one flattering number, we publish the full record and the methodology. WHAT IT IS NOT • Not financial advice, and not personalised recommendations • No trade execution, no custody of funds, no promised returns • No forward stock tips — the app shows indicators, analytics, and the verified historical record WHO IT'S FOR Self-directed investors, students of markets, and quants who do their own research and want honest, auditable model output.
