The Ugly Truth: Integrity in AI: A Deep Dive into Our First Live Open House

Prashant Rao

Reclaiming Integrity in the Trading Space

Yesterday, we held our very first live open house for retailtrader.ai. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with our community and share the “why” behind this platform. For those who couldn’t make it, the full recording is now available.

The Motivation: Built on Integrity

My path to building this platform wasn’t typical. After 25 years in the software industry and 15 years of trading, I witnessed a $300 million corporate fraud at my previous company. That experience fundamentally changed my perspective.

Instead of returning to a corporate setting, I decided to build a product rooted in transparency. In a space crowded with “get-rich-quick” scams, retailtrader.ai is designed to be a co-pilot, not an autopilot.

How the “Co-Pilot” Works: The CNN-LSTM Model

We don’t use RSI, MACD, or Fibonacci; we view these traditional indicators as “noise”. Instead, our infrastructure is built on a hybrid neural network architecture:

  • CNN (Convolutional Neural Network): Identifies spatial patterns and setups in pure price action.
  • LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory): Assesses how those patterns form over time to identify turnaround points before they occur.

The result is a statistical probability score that helps you manage trades with institutional-grade discipline.

Institutional Reality: Win Rates vs. Reward

One of the biggest myths in trading is that you need an 80% win rate to be successful. The reality is far different:

  • Institutional Standards: Top-tier funds often succeed with win rates between 50% and 55%.
  • The Holy Grail: Profitability comes from the risk-to-reward ratio. You can be wrong 60% of the time and still be highly profitable with a 1:3 reward ratio.

Trading Strategy & Options

During the session, we walked through current signals and discussed our approach to options:

  • Timeframe: We seek multi-day opportunities, typically in the 3 to 10-day horizon.
  • Options Preference: We generally prefer In-The-Money (ITM) or At-The-Money (ATM) options for better correlation with stock price.
  • Entry Timing: We suggest waiting past the first 30 minutes of market open to avoid counter-intuitive volatility.

Looking Forward

The response to our launch has been overwhelming. Since the webinar, we’ve seen a massive surge in site impressions and a 10.9% average CTR, signaling a real hunger for transparent, data-driven tools.
