How to Use AI to Trade Stocks: 7 Ways<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to use AI for stock trading\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use AI to Pick Stocks <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you want to sit back and see which stocks AI algorithms think are hot, you might benefit from AI-fueled stock picks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Related reading: <\/strong>Here\u2019s our list of the best AI stock pickers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the service, you typically pay a subscription fee, and the provider sends you regular alerts with stock ideas that its AI system identifies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While every company trains its AI system using different datasets, many services focus on crucial metrics like technical indicators, historical performance, and current sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you don\u2019t necessarily like the \u201cblack box\u201d approach and want stock picks that consider AI but also have a human touch, you might enjoy our Zen Investor<\/a> stock picking service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To select stocks for the portfolio, Zen Investor Editor in Chief Steve Reitmeister leverages the Zen Ratings<\/a> system, which incorporates a powerful AI algorithm to identify stocks with market-beating potential. (More on that system in a sec.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI is an important part of the stock-picking process, but Reitmeister doesn\u2019t just add stocks to the portfolio based on that factor alone. He layers his 40+ years of investing experience to vet each pick based on classic fundamentals and his lens of experience. This means you get AI-approved picks that also get a thumbs-up from a human who can pick up on emotionally-driven market nuances that machines can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
