How to use the Short Term Signals
Short term investing is more complicated than long term investing and has significantly higher risk. It is easier to overlook factors in the short term and be outmatched by new world complexities such as high frequency trading and payment for order flow. The absolute safest way to invest is seeing promising short term scores AND stronger long term ratings as well. Nothing beats that. However, frequently these factors can be at odds.
The best possible short term combinations are high Net Social Sentiment, Net Options Sentiment, Net Institutional Flow, low Dark Pool and Short Pressure Rating. But the chances of you seeing an actual Unicorn with an actual horn are higher than seeing a stock with this combination. As an example, stocks with high Net Social Sentiment, Net Options Sentiment and Net Institutional Flow, are a good bet that a stock will go up. However, this is a great example of why it is important to look at risk. All of these numbers could be high one day and fall off a cliff the next at a piece of bad news - a large institutional sale or a purchase of put options (options bought if you expect the market to go down). This sudden shift could leave you with a fairly large single day loss. Prospero prides ourselves on our technology, which will refresh faster than a price target. However, no increase in speed of information delivery will allow you to beat a high frequency trading algorithm. It is always important to remember what you are up against.
