AI vs. Wall Street: The Power Is Now in Your Hands

AI vs. Wall Street: The Power Is Now in Your Hands

Editor’s Note: When OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, it also launched Wall Street into an AI arms race.

Almost three years later, billion-dollar hedge funds are now pouring fortunes into AI systems that can spot market opportunities faster and more accurately than any human trader.

The good news, though, is that that kind of power is no longer reserved for the financial elite.

This week, I introduced you to TradeSmithGPT – a revolutionary AI-powered trading system that I believe could change the game for everyday investors.

Built by our partners over at Tradesmith, this tool helps everyday investors harness the same edge as Wall Street’s top firms. And it is already identifying trades with triple-digit potential.

You can watch a replay of how this tool works – and how you can access it – here.

And you’ll want to be sure to check out that demo now, as it is only available for a limited time.

Today, Tradesmith CEO Keith Kaplan is joining us to explain how you can use TradesmithGPT immediately to improve your returns.

It started with a challenge…  

As CEO of TradeSmith, I have a team of top data scientists, programmers, and quant investors. 

We pride ourselves as being on the cutting edge. 

And this year, we’ve launched a few new strategies designed to help you trade what’s become an increasingly chaotic market environment. 

These include a seasonality screener, a tool that identifies snapback rallies, and more. 

They’ve all been huge successes in delivering outsized returns for our members. 

But I wanted to go one step further.  

So, I asked: Can we harness the same type of artificial intelligence technology Wall Street uses – and make it available to everyday investors? 

After tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of man-hours, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” 

As I revealed during a live demo on Wednesday, an AI project we’ve been quietly building is now finally ready for action. 

We call it TradeSmithGPT

It works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year – analyzing opportunities across nearly 2,000 stocks in any sector you can imagine. 

And in our backtests, it’s given opportunities to collect four, eight, even nine years of average stock market gains in a matter of weeks. 

Today, I’ll show you how this works, how it could completely change the way you build wealth in 2025 and beyond, and how it could help you outperform even the pros. 

First, it’s important you know how critical it for us as self-directed investors to put AI on our side. 

As you’ll see, TradeSmithGPT isn’t just about boosting our returns. It’s about making sure we don’t get left behind in a world-changing “arms race.” 

No Room for Complacency 

You won’t hear much about it in the press. It’s too busy reporting on the food fight on Capitol Hill and the latest social media scandal. 

But there’s a frantic “arms race” on Wall Street right now. 

The world’s wealthiest and most sophisticated investors are racing to build ever more advanced AI systems — squeezing bigger profits from the market… often at your expense. 

This really caught my attention back in 2022 when Ken Griffin’s storied Citadel hedge fund hauled $16 billion out of the markets in 12 months mostly by automated trading.  

That’s $9.8 million for every hour the stock market was open – more than most folks make in a lifetime. 

But the AI arms race has accelerated at a pace even I didn’t see coming. 

Here’s just a small sample of recent developments… 

  • Steven Cohen’s Point72 Asset Management’s new AI-focused fund posted a 14% gain just three months after launching last October. That’s more than twice the 6.2% gain for the tech-heavy Nasdaq over the same time.  
  • Paul Marshall and Ian Wace’s AI-powered Trade Optimized Portfolio System (TOPS) synthesizes thousands of trade ideas – as well as data from social media – to find winners. This strategy netted 22.7% last year and a further 7.1% in 2025.  
  • Melvin Capital delivered a staggering 44% return in 2019 and 30% annualized return from 2014 to 2020 by blending human insight with proprietary AI systems. 

It’s not just hedge funds that are turning to AI. Earlier this month, The Wall Street Journal reported that automated portfolios – many driven by algorithmic and AI-based strategies – now manage nearly $8 trillion. And more than eight in 10 fee-based advisers now use these portfolios for at least some client money. 

AI isn’t hype. It’s reshaping how money gets managed on a gargantuan scale. And as individual investors, we can’t sit pat. And we can’t be complacent. 

Griffin, Cohen, and the other “masters of the universe” on Wall Street aren’t flocking to AI for no reason. They know it’s better than human traders at spotting profitable market setups. And they’re practically tripping over their Gucci loafers to get a leg up on the competition. 

And this shift toward AI by deep-pocketed money managers is happening right when the gains from buy-and-hold investing are becoming more difficult to find. 

Volatility Is the New Name of the Game  

I probably don’t need to tell you. But April was the craziest month for markets since the pandemic crash of 2020. 

The S&P 500 plunged 11% over just two trading days. 

That wiped out $6.6 trillion in stock market value.  

A couple days later, we got a one-day rally of 9%. 

And Wall Street’s “fear gauge,” the VIX, exploded to rare heights… 

On April 8, the VIX closed above 50. We’ve only seen this level or higher in 2008, 2009, and 2020. 

This isn’t your grandfather’s stock market…. or your father’s. When markets can move that much – often on as little as a social media post – you’re dealing with a new kind of market entirely. 

And with geopolitical conflict rising around the world… the pace of technological progress upending entire industries… and intense political battles playing out across America, we can expect more intense volatility ahead. 

Add in the widespread adoption of AI on Wall Street, and the rules of investing and trading are about to be rewritten. 

But there’s hope. 

Thanks to the breakthrough my team and I have made, these powerful trading tools are no longer locked away inside billion-dollar quant funds. 

Invest Alongside AI, Not Against It 

According to a report from the SEC, hedge funds deploying AI-driven trading strategies outperformed their peers by an average of 12%.  

TradeSmithGPT can do better. 

In our backtesting, it identified setups with potential gains as high as 776%. 

Of course, that’s just one example. 

In backetesting, it also flagged… 

  • A 153% win on Spotify (SPOT)… 
  • A 172% win on Eli Lilly (LLY)… 
  • And a 339% gain on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM). 

All in a matter of days. 

Now, not every trade will be a winner. So, you should never invest more money than you can afford to lose. 

But if you want to invest alongside AI like the top players on Wall Street, this new software is something you’ll want to have on your radar. 

In my live demo of TradeSmithGPT, I revealed exactly what this new breakthrough AI software is, how it works, and why it will be critical to your success in the markets throughout 2025. 

If you missed the action, don’t worry. You can view the replay here – but only for a limited time

And by acting now, you’ll be ready to seize three new opportunities TradeSmithGPT just flagged… which will drop on Tuesday, July 1.  

But as I said, the replay is only around for so long. After July 1, I can’t promise you’ll ever see it again.  

Go here now – and you’ll have three fresh trade opportunities ready for you on Tuesday.  

Sincerely, 

Keith Kaplan 

CEO, TradeSmith
