How It Works
The Analysis Engine
The heart of Automatic investor is the analysis engine. It's based on a time-tested algorithm developed by Robert Lichello in the 1970s.
Of course Lichello had to perform all his calculations by hand - a tedious chore to be sure. Over the years, Lichello's algorithm has been improved significantly.
Automatic Investor not only implements the very latest improvements, but also harnesses the power of your computer and the Internet to make managing your investments a breeze.
A Theory Ahead of its Time
Lichello came up with a simple, but brilliant, system based on stock market volatility.
Unfortunately, the theory was too far ahead of its time. When first developed, it was not feasible to perform the necessary calculations frequently enough.
The system still worked, but many buy and sell signals were missed. The proliferation of the computer, and the Internet, has changed that.
Hundreds of calculations can now be performed in a second. Furthermore stocks are much more volatile today, and the Internet brings an unprecedented amount of financial information right to your desktop.
These key developments have combined with Lichello's algorithm to usher in a system that can significantly increase your investment returns.
Value Added Features
But that's not all. Automatic Investor adds a host of features to the Analysis Engine.
Features that not only makes it a snap to use, but also increases its power and effectiveness.
Features such as the most comprehensive set of tuning parameters currently available. These parameters will let you configure the system to your investment style, market conditions, and the characteristics of your portfolio.
Once you've gained some experience with Automatic Investor, you'll definitely want to learn about them. For now ignore them. They default to values that work well with most portfolios.
A Look into the Past
Automatic Investor also allows you to back-test stocks based on historical prices.
You can update your entire portfolio from the Internet with one mouse click. You can "go back in time" to see what your portfolio looked like at any given point (using Automatic Investor's unique check point feature).
And the list goes on and on.
