Editor’s Note: In a volatile market where long-term projections are unreliable, opportunities can still come knocking… if you know where to look…

And if you have the right tools.

Our corporate partner TradeSmith has cracked the code on securing short-term gains, even amid the bumpiest turbulence. And it’s all thanks to an AI-powered algorithm called An-E (short for Analytical Engine).

Built in-house using machine learning models trained on over 1.3 quadrillion data points and 50,000+ backtests, An-E can help you see what stocks could go up or down within a 30-day projection. An-E projects the share price on thousands of stocks, funds, and ETFs one month into the future.

The result? A powerful advantage unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.

Now, I’ll let Keith talk more about how this strategy can work for you…

$2 trillion. Gone in a flash.  

That’s how much value was lost from the markets after President Trump’s unexpected tariff announcement – setting off one of the most volatile periods in recent market history.  

For most investors, it triggered the same response: fear and hesitation, which led to painful losses. 

But for a growing class of traders, this chaos didn’t bring uncertainty – it brought opportunity. 

Because in the middle of extreme volatility – when headlines change by the hour and traditional strategies fall apart – a powerful new force is emerging as the clear winner in the battle for market profits: AI

While human investors react with fear, delay, or overconfidence, a new breed of trading algorithm – like TradeSmith’s cutting-edge system, An-E (short for Analytical Engine) – is making precise, unemotional forecasts about where the market is heading next.  

And in today’s chaos, that edge is proving invaluable. 

The Shift: Why AI Is Dominating in Volatile Markets 

In stable markets, it’s easy for anyone to feel like a smart investor. 

But real skill – and real profits – show up when things fall apart. Volatility is the stress test. 

That’s why AI is taking over. 

Unlike humans, AI doesn’t get emotional. It doesn’t chase headlines.  It doesn’t second-guess every move. Instead, it digests mountains of data and makes calculated projections—especially when things get messy. 

And in this turbulent market, messy is the new normal.

Meet An-E: The AI Forecasting Engine Built for Chaos 

AI-powered trading systems like robo-advisors have been gaining steam for years. In 2024 alone, U.S. robo-advisors managed over $1.46 trillion in assets. 

But basic robo-advisors are just that – basic. 

The real leap forward? Predictive AI. Tools that don’t just manage your portfolio – they forecast future stock movements before the rest of the market reacts. 

That’s what sets An-E apart. 

Unlike most robo-advisors that only adjust based on your risk tolerance, An-E takes it several steps further. 

It uses advanced predictive modeling to forecast stock prices 21 trading days into the future – a huge advantage when markets are whipping back and forth like they are now. 

And this isn’t guesswork. An-E analyzes millions of data points, learning patterns, pricing behavior, and momentum signals that most investors would never catch. 

Here’s what that looks like in real time… 

Case in point: Duolingo Inc. (DUOL) 

On March 3, 2025, An-E projected that Duolingo Inc. (DUOL) would rise to $325.30 within 21 trading days – a projected increase of 10.18%.  

What made

this signal stand out even more was An-E’s 66% confidence gauge – its own internal measure of how likely the forecast was to come true.  

And just 21 days later, the stock exceeded that projection, hitting $327.28 – locking in an even bigger gain of 10.89%. 

In a choppy, panic-driven market, that kind of signal isn’t just valuable; it’s game changing. The average investor sees volatility and backs away. But with the right tool, volatility becomes a profit machine.  

And that’s exactly what you want in today’s landscape. Because while there will always be winners, volatility also creates landmines – and knowing when companies are poised to crash could save your portfolio from serious losses.  

So, what about the downside? Take this bearish forecast: 

On March 7, 2025, An-E projected that Discover Financial Services (DFS) would fall from $167.52 to $150.83 within 21 trading days – a projected drop of 9.97%. 

This time, An-E’s confidence gauge was even higher – 72%  – suggesting a strong likelihood the bearish move would materialize.  

And by April 7, 2025, DFS plummeted to $150.88 – a nearly perfect match to An-E’s forecast, and a real-world 9.93% drop.  

Whether it’s going long on opportunities or short on risk, An-E thrives where human instinct fails. 

Human Emotion vs. Machine Precision 

Let’s face it: Human traders struggle in unpredictable markets. We get nervous. We chase headlines. We miss out – or worse, buy at the top and sell at the bottom. 

But An-E doesn’t do panic. 

It simply scans millions of data points and highlights the moves most investors will miss – both bullish and bearish – with no emotion involved. That includes which stocks could collapse next, something no investor can afford to ignore right now. 

In fact, when the S&P 500 dropped nearly 6% the day after the tariff news, An-E’s bearish forecasts became more crucial than ever. 

AI is no longer a niche tool – it’s becoming the foundation of modern trading. 

In 2023, investment in AI-powered financial services hit $35 billion. By 2028, it’s projected to soar past $126 billion. 

Why? Because the numbers don’t lie. 

A quarter of firms already say AI strategies are delivering their highest returns. And more investors are turning to AI not just to survive in volatile markets – but to win

Here’s the turning point…
