Acuity Trading has launched a new fully automated, AI-powered trading signals tool, TradeSignals.
Extending beyond the capabilities of Acuity’s well-known AnalysisIQ platform, TradeSignals adds a new layer of automation to an already robust suite of trading tools. The new AI-driven signals tool caters specifically to the FX and cryptocurrency markets, bringing an unparalleled blend of machine precision and market intuition.
Acuity’s AI doesn’t just read the charts—it reads the room
Technical Analysis (TA) has always been a mainstay in the trader’s toolkit, but Acuity’s has flipped the script by infusing it with cutting-edge Natural Language Processing (NLP) and sentiment analysis. By tapping into real-time news sources and volatility data, Acuity’s AI doesn’t just read the charts—it reads the room.
This approach allows traders to see market signals in context, combining classic TA indicators with live sentiment tracking. The result? A more holistic, responsive system that can adapt to market shifts as they happen.
One of the key selling points of this rollout is its seamless integration into Acuity’s AnalysisIQ product. There’s no need for traders to learn a new system or overhaul their strategies. Instead, the automated signals fit snugly alongside the existing toolkit, preserving the familiarity and customizability that users appreciate.
Traders can toggle between human-generated insights and AI-powered signals, allowing for a hybrid approach tailored to different market conditions and personal preferences.
TradeSignals covers over 2,100 assets
Acuity isn’t skimping on breadth, either. As of launch, the platform provides signals for over 2,100 assets, including heavyweights like the SP500, Russell 2000, EUROStoxx, FTSE100, and NASDAQ100. Crypto traders, too, will find a diverse array of signals targeting popular digital assets.
The firm has plans to broaden its reach even further, with future updates set to include more equities, commodities, and FX instruments. This expansion aligns with the company’s goal of ensuring traders can access high-liquidity assets across global markets.
Customization and optimization are at the core of Acuity’s trading strategies. By calibrating different parameters—such as risk tolerance and decision-making timeframes—Acuity ensures that its trade signals aren’t just relevant but razor-sharp. Moreover, separate optimizations for long-only and short-only strategies add another layer of finesse, giving traders an edge whether the market is rising or falling.
Acuity’s AI signals outperform buy-and-hold strategies
Perhaps the most compelling piece of the puzzle is performance. Acuity’s AI signals have consistently outperformed traditional buy-and-hold strategies—even with a win rate below 50%. The secret lies in rigorous risk management and smart stop-loss protocols that minimize losses and let winners run.
Ariel Duarte-López, Head of Data Science at Acuity: “Acuity automated signals represent a significant advancement to our already popular technical analysis offering. By leveraging AI and data science, we’re able to generate trading signals that not only reflect historical data but also capture real-time market sentiment and volatility.”
“The precision of our signal generation pipeline is a testament to the thorough backtesting and optimization we’ve performed. While our historical performance has been strong, it’s important to emphasize that success in trading is not guaranteed, and we always recommend a cautious approach.
“Even with a lower win rate, our strategy’s profitability is driven by the higher revenue from successful trades compared to losses from unsuccessful ones. This is a crucial aspect of our risk management approach, ensuring that our clients are supported in making informed trading decisions.”
