About viditrade

How viditrade's
Learning Curve Works

Formatting that trains you to intuitively
read the market.

The Problem

Narratives can only tell what someone else is thinking. And their price reports alone tell you even less.

The Fix

Vidi conditions your mind to intuitively read the market.

The How

viditrade‘s analysis and signals are organized in a logical, consistent structure. Your subconscious learns by rote when it processes them, while you’re consciously immersed in real-time price action — watching it develop in-line with the analysis and forecast.

Hours

  Filtering

Our minds are the world’s most efficient computers. Thousands of hours  reviewing hundreds of thousands of charts forced my mind to filter their commonalities. Grouping and ordering common features into patterns has led to discoveries that are viditrade’s foundation.

Market Timing • Price Forecasting • Technical Analysis • Chart Pattern Analysis • Sector and Stock picking • Proprietary Indicators • Writing / Education

Thousands of hours scanning hundreds of thousands of stock charts unlocked my eidetic memory for images, and forged it with a natural inclination to process data efficiently by organizing them into patterns. The result is an analysis that identifies the shifting perceptions and allocations among those who forecast economic and company financials. This edge adds basis points to tweaking the timing of entries and exits, and adds multiple points when forecasting imminent price inflection or acceleration.

Previously I was a Contributing Editor for optionMONSTER where I produced the Index Trader blog, providing intraday timing signals and targets in S&Ps and other futures markets. Prior to that, I founded AvidTrader.com in 1995, one of the original technical analysis web sites. Through AvidTrader, I launched the web’s first free-access trader’s chatroom in 1996 for technical analysis newcomers and experts from around the world to mingle throughout the trading day.

Rod David, Founder

Market Strategist, Pattern Analyst, and Educator

*viditrade* is my next-version platform for on-demand access to my decades of proprietary research and trading setups. Content includes live/recorded workshops, vidi VIEWS intraday updates, and participation in the live vidi ROOM teaching and learning environment.

I’m a Technical Market Strategist and Behavioral Finance Expert: I am an established chart technician and financial journalist, with a proven ability to identify profitable trading perspectives and actionable setups in all market environments.

In any capacity, I thrive in fast-paced conditions that demand quickly defining the most preferable available actions from imperfect and incomplete information – and then communicating those choices effectively, or deciding among them and executing, all while the inputs remain fresh.

My Background

My broad industry experiences range from retail brokerage to trading advisory publisher; from market analyst to algorithm developer; from trader to educator and industry innovator. And equally important, from novice investor to market professional. Backgrounds in each enable me to tailor my message for any user or audience.

From my first exposures to charting and technical analysis this discipline has rung true to me for assessing stocks and markets. I’ve since defined it as a common denominator that cuts across industries, markets, asset classes and regions by analyzing the influence of mass psychology on price. Its edge adds basis points by tweaking entry and exit prices, and adds multiple points by timing imminent price inflection or acceleration.

My Approach

My proprietary and bespoke analysis is based on a robust set of unique, predictive analytical techniques. These rule sets segment price action into usual and unusual behaviors – i.e. noise and signal. Their output efficiently and quickly forecasts any chart – be it equity, index or futures, over any time frame from intraday to weekly.

What I Do

My proprietary and bespoke analysis is based on a proprietary set of unique, robust, predictive analytical techniques and rule sets, which segment price action into usual and unusual behaviors – i.e. noise and signal. Their output efficiently and quickly forecasts any chart – be it equity, index or futures, over any time frame from intraday to weekly.

How I Do It

Essentially, I label signals on charts… before price gets there. I assess market conditions to forecast intraday direction and targets for active markets and individual stocks. In doing this I maintain “bigger picture” perspectives that anticipate trend changes and duration. This analysis includes identifying risk control techniques, and price behaviors that will help to confirm whether a trade/trend is developing, or in jeopardy. Along with charting, I produce research and idea flow simultaneously on multiple products, across multiple time horizons, throughout each trading day.

What's Next

I have documented my proprietary discoveries of unique market action, and organized them in a Knowledge Base. They’re available to viditrade members for study, and continually updated with new actual examples for quick historical references when I identify them forming. This resource includes strategies and tactics I’ve developed for trading their signals and maximizing profitability… In Q3 2024 I’m pursuing AI solutions for identifying new associations, and for enabling a chat bot guide.
