In the world of finance, there are countless myths and traps that can derail your financial planning efforts. To ensure a secure future, it's important to identify and avoid them. Here are four traps that readers and investors should keep in mind when making financial decisions.
If you're struggling to keep up with student loan or credit card payments, consolidating may sound like an easy fix. However, consolidation doesn't always lower your interest rate, which is the crucial factor when it comes to saving money. Instead, consider refinancing your loans to lower your interest rate and save thousands of dollars over time.
Investing while carrying high-interest debt may seem like a smart way to balance your finances, but it can actually cost you more in the long run. It's better to pay down your debt in one go than risk losing money to interest.
Watching too much news, particularly financial news, can be overwhelming and lead to rash investment decisions. It's essential to take a step back and focus on the bigger picture, rather than getting caught up in short-term news cycles.
While buying a house can be a great investment, it's essential to weigh the costs and benefits before taking the plunge. Consider the additional expenses, such as mortgage payments, property taxes, and insurance, to see if it's truly a sound investment or just a lifestyle choice.

The main idea behind technical analysis is the ability to find recurring price patterns and trends and use them to predict the direction of future market trends. We started with the creation of AI-based Engines (Pattern Search Engine, Real-Time Patterns, Trend Prediction Engine) that allow us to effectively analyze market trends. We then have explored almost all existing methods (price patterns, trend indicators, oscillators, and many others) using neural networks and deep historical backtests. As a result, it was possible to form a pool of trading algorithms that together allow our AI Robots to effectively determine the key points of change in market trends.
