He chose at random, a forex pair, a futures market, and an individual U.S. Stock. He then analysed three years of actual market data from November 2008 to November 2011. The average of the results below is 79.7 percent, which is quite astonishing given the market volatility of the last three years, and it suggests strongly that the 80% plus forecasting accuracy rate itself is attainable.

VantagePoint’s strength is in turning the predictive data from the neural network process into indicators that lead rather than lag the market. VantagePoint’s predicted difference indicators often provide even earlier alerts that market momentum is shifting, giving traders clues that a trend is strengthening or weakening and could possibly lead to a change in price direction.

VantagePoint is intuitive, easy to use, and offers traders unique leading technical indicators with a long record of proven accuracy. This process provides a unique perspective on markets that uses foresight instead of hindsight.

The quality of VantagePoint speaks to the adage, ‘You get what you pay for.’ If you are serious about becoming a successful trader or investor and you are looking for an edge that spots and helps confirm potentially profitable trading opportunities, while helping you to avoid dangerous traps, VantagePoint is the tool for the job.

Using a neural network process to select the best parameters and predictive indicators that meet the criteria set by its trademarked Intelliscan® feature, VantagePoint provides reliable short-term trend forecasts to give traders an early alert for trades they can take with confidence, making it possible to recoup the cost of the software quickly.

"This patent-pending analytical process is the underpining of VantagePoint's unique status in the world of trading software. In a nutshell, no other commercially available trading software exists that can replicate what VantagePoint does."

VantagePoint 8.0 still relies on its time-tested neural networks and intermarket analysis to arrive at its predicted forecasts. That is a definite plus because they have proven to give the user an accurate “heads up” on market direction. This is the heart that drives the software, and Market Technologies could have built simple functionality around this core and left it at that. But the company has added many additional functions that are beneficial to users.

A test for the four-year period from January 2005 through December 2008 based on mid-point prices produced the following accuracy figures: EUR/USD cash currency, 82%; Euro FX continuous futures, 81%; Natural gas continuous futures, 79%; Russell 2000 Index continuous futures, 76%.

Market Technologies claims an accuracy of approximately 80% on their website. We calculated the average accuracy of version 7.0 to be 82%.

I tested the index accuracy from November 2005 through November 2006 for all 13 ETF markets and found the index to be accurate anywhere from 77% to 84% of the time – right in line with Market Technologies’ claim.

In my experience, you usually get what you pay for when it comes to trading software. Applying the forecasts available in VantagePoint 7.0 with sound trading techniques, you should soon find that an investment in this software is well worthwhile.

VantagePoint is perhaps one of the few 'neural net' software packages to survive the test of time.
