Short Position: S&P 500

Given the high volatility the market has encountered over the past week, I Know First’s Forecast performance is noteworthy. One month ago we released two interesting forecasts for World Indices to Buy and Sell and Currency Prediction for over 50 currencies. The average gain from both indices to long and short were much higher than the S&P performance over the same time period. Additionally, the currencies forecast has a hit ratio above 70% despite the extremely turbulent time.

The I Know First algorithm creates its daily forecasts by finding the hidden relationships between various assets and indicators and one of the aspects it takes into account is volatility. In our newsletter two weeks ago, we warned subscribers to be wary of volatility as the VIX, one of the primary volatility indices, has a bullish outlook. Our forecast a month ago reiterated this stance while also including negative forecasts for some of the main world indices including the oil index (OSX) and S&P 500. Over the predicted time period, the VIX increased over 15% while oil dropped over 20% and the S&P 500 decreased by nearly 5%. 

Despite the high volatility, there are still opportunities for long positions. Our algorithm recently gave strong signals over 7 days for XPER and AU which jumped 26% and 14% respectively. The machine learning algorithm also gave a 14 day bullish prediction for CORT which gained over 25% in this time.
