Signals from Pattern Search Engine

Tickeron is bringing high-powered Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) technology to the retail investment community that, in our opinion, rivals the technology and approach used at major Wall Street firms. The Ph. D founders of Tickeron have spent several years researching and building an Artificial Intelligence-based search engine that allows active investors to perform thousands of hours of research and pattern searches...in just minutes.

A security pattern traces distinct movements of security prices that, once recognized, helps investors make informed trading decisions. Patterns are identified by their key geometrical elements, formed by changing security prices.

Every day Artificial Intelligence analyses 39 patterns for 8000 stocks, 3000 ETFs, most popular Crypto & Forex pairs and presents trading ideas with backtest and statistic results.

BUY signal for PRVB (Broadening Wedge Ascending)

The Broadening Wedge Ascending pattern forms when the price of a security progressively makes higher highs (1, 3) and higher lows (2, 4), following two widening trend lines. This pattern may form when large investors spread their buying over a period of time.

 

The theory goes that after initial buying occurs, other market participants react to the rising price and jump on the bandwagon to participate. Then value investors begin to sell, believing the price has risen too much, which spurs the original large investor to resume buying again.

Trade Idea:

BUY near the Breakout (Entry) price – $9.95

SELL at the Target (Exit) price – $11.08
