Frequently Asked Questions

ASM stands apart through its specialized focus on behavioral-AI analysis specifically designed for index markets. Unlike traditional technical analysis tools that rely solely on price and volume patterns, ASM incorporates:

• Behavioral Pattern Recognition: AI algorithms that identify crowd psychology and market sentiment shifts
• Risk-Aware Context: Every insight includes comprehensive risk assessment with color-coded bands
• Personalization Engine: Adaptive algorithms that learn from your trading behavior and preferences
• Multi-Algorithm Architecture: Main and sub-algorithms working in parallel for robust analysis
• Compliance-First Design: Built with regulatory requirements and risk disclosures integrated

This behavioral-AI approach helps traders understand not just what the market is doing, but why it's moving, providing deeper context for trading decisions.

ASM's behavioral personalization engine adapts to your unique trading patterns and preferences through several mechanisms:

• Risk Tolerance Assessment: Initial questionnaire determines your risk appetite and trading style
• Pattern Learning: AI observes your decision-making patterns and signal responses
• Preference Weighting: Certain market conditions and behavioral signals are prioritized based on your history
• Adaptive Thresholds: Alert sensitivity and notification frequency adjust to your engagement patterns
• Contextual Filtering: Insights are filtered and presented according to your preferred analysis frameworks

The system continuously refines its understanding of your trading behavior, becoming more accurate and relevant over time while maintaining strict compliance with non-advisory regulations.

ASM provides comprehensive risk context through multiple layers of analysis:

• Risk Bands: Color-coded visualization (Green/Yellow/Red) indicating risk levels from 0-100
• Market Regime Analysis: Identification of current market conditions (Bull/Bear/Sideways/Transition)
• Volatility Context: Historical and implied volatility measurements with percentile rankings
• Correlation Risk: Cross-market and inter-asset correlation analysis
• Behavioral Risk Metrics: Crowd sentiment extremes, positioning imbalances, and contrarian indicators
• Temporal Risk Factors: Time-of-day, day-of-week, and seasonal behavioral patterns

Each insight includes specific risk quantification, helping you understand the probability and magnitude of potential outcomes while maintaining awareness of market uncertainty.

ASM's backtesting framework emphasizes reproducibility and realistic conditions rather than optimized performance:

• Out-of-Sample Testing: All strategies tested on data not used in development
• Transaction Costs: Realistic slippage, commissions, and market impact modeling
• Market Regime Changes: Performance analysis across different market conditions
• Statistical Significance: Robust statistical measures with confidence intervals
• Behavioral Consistency: Validation that behavioral patterns remain stable across time periods

Historical accuracy varies by market condition, typically showing 65-80% directional accuracy for behavioral signals. However, past performance does not guarantee future results, and all backtests include comprehensive disclaimers about limitations and risks.
