Predictive Analytics vs. Technical Analysis
Traditional trading is reactive. AI trading is predictive.
Technical Analysis (Rearview Mirror)
- Method: "The moving average crossed yesterday, so the trend is up."
- Problem: It is a lagging indicator. By the time the cross happens, the move is often halfway over.
Predictive Analytics (Windshield)
- Method: "Based on volatility compression and volume accumulation, there is an 82% probability of a breakout in the next 6 hours."
- Advantage: It anticipates the move before it happens on the chart.
Case Study: The Flash Crash
- TA Trader: Saw support holding, kept buying. Lagging indicators looked steady.
- AI Engine: Saw Order Book liquidity thinning out (spoofing) and huge On-Chain outflows. It predicted a volatility spike and moved to cash before the red candle printed.
We don't predict the future (that's impossible). We calculate the probability of the future. And in trading, probability is profit.
