Momentum Crash Unleashed -- Capital Rotations Found in the Dark with Bottom-Down Intelligence and Sentiment-Aware Momentum Perception Maps

Meet Efrem Hoffman — he is the “Visionary” behind the Running Alpha Story.

With a strong practical understanding of financial innovation use cases,

Efrem brings a broad-scale practical perspective to making sense of capital market and economic movements, for advancing the science of precision wealth-intelligence;

Founded on a unified framework, of three innovations:

Multi-Valued Computing Logic, Bottom-Down Analytics, and Crowd-Physics,

Efrem is opening new ground in levering Quantum Machine Intelligence strategies, for giving precision insight into international capital and domestic liquidity movements in both publicly listed and dark markets --

off-exchange venues, where market dealers work on behalf of big institutions to mask their order-flow intentions.

Efrem started out at a time when few in the business community were aware of our framework's universal potential in other industries -- over 15 years before it became a buzzword on Wall Street and Main Street.

Although the initial focus was Tornado Prediction from high dimensional radar imagery, which unlike a picture of a car, as seen with a camera, 3D weather-radar reflectivity echoes of wind patterns, and signatures of whirling cloud droplets, colliding and bouncing off each other in the sky, are only abstractions of reality.

His scientific approach was so unconventional and promising that, not only did Efrem receive special recognition by a lead research scientist at the Atmospheric Environment Service (AES) Prairie Storm Prediction Center,

for making significant contributions to StormTech science and transforming the way experts can start thinking about making better sense of hierarchical patterns in just about any unstructured multi-dimensional big data sets ( including financial markets ),

while teasing out, at remarkable speeds ( up to 1000 times faster than conventional AI and more accurately than classical algorithms on a supercomputer ), the salient predictive features at local and global scale,

but the technology innovation use case also played a role in pilot-test studies, and later featured by Braindex, as among the top 250 most fascinating weather radar inventions.

Efrem has an unwavering fascination for bringing the common ground, unique challenges, and bleeding edge solutions he discovered across multiple disciplines to building solutions for observing the collective human perception and behavioral traits and biases that make markets tick; and give rise to sudden outbursts of extreme bullish and bearish activity.

These interactions have humbled Efrem to appreciate the importance of knowing when to start applying and investing in a technology; and of equal relevance, avoiding situations when the underlying assumptions of a technology's function and utility create unacceptable trade-offs that are incompatible with the current and upcoming market environment.

By augmenting the benefits of industry knowledge and human judgement with non-discretionary strategic insights from academia and industry, Efrem has acquired a respect for how the human condition, trying to make sense of the unknown, both interacts and interferes with mathematical modelling.

That’s why Efrem Hoffman's strategies and research frameworks are challenging the fundamental limits of conventional logic for which almost every life and death, career-changing flight or fight, decisions we make, are based on.

So, Efrem's message is clear -- we better be prepared to see outliers, irregularities, and uncertainty for what they really are -- the most persistent windows of opportunity that should be embraced for converting strategy into action inside the World's Thinnest Risk Horizons.

What really catches Efrem's attention is when the underlying premise of the consensus view, particularly of the market’s collective behavior and expectations, not only diverges wildly from reality, but is founded on a rigid monochromatic belief system and theory, that is not verifiable in the real world.

He especially derives pleasure from assisting investors with making sense of current conditions, and then levering this dynamic knowledge for generating high levels of anxiety-adjusted returns.

To this end, Efrem is delivering insights into what’s not only new,

but also, how his new innovation in investing technology and prescriptive analytics has the power for inspiring audiences to innovate at a new level; transforming specific industries and organizations forever.

Precision Activism: How Running Alpha is Changing the Face of Financial Decision-Making Outcomes for Delivering Super-Human Investor Performance

March 17, 2019

Instead of Predicting Capital Market events from the Outside, which are in theory and practice virtually unknowable, Running Alpha leverages market event and investor uncertainty with never-before-accessible insights into the forward-looking market interaction effects of divergent and convergent investor sentiment and perception biases across all time-lines simultaneously, for monetizing future scenarios; thereby:

liberating investors and traders from:

feeling anxiety about not having a stake in the future -- by shifting their attention from inputting and acting on their own opinions to looking down from 30000 feet on the whole market player decision-making puzzle board; and

the complexities of consistently finding extraordinary opportunities at the intersection of value and exponential growth, without compromising the potential for comfort-adjusted absolute returns in all market environments and across all economic cycles.

Extracting Profits From Crypto-Currencies | Running Alpha Opens New Ground in Data-Driven Decision-Making: Introducing AI-Powered Quantum Machines
Running Alpha, Efrem Hoffman, CE and Founder
December 12, 2018

Running Alpha is the first AI-Powered Algorithmic Machine Intelligence Framework that was designed from the ground up to:

organically simulate how nature uses quantum computing principles for circumventing the constraints of processing exponentially big chunks of classical data ( visible information ) in real-time.

In-house proprietary technology is used for transforming data into an encrypted superposition of quantum entangled states — each representing the observed event from a unique viewing perspective; independent of human or machine observation.

Adapted from the founder’s U.S. patents on Autonomous Hierarchical Assemblies of Artificial Neural Networks — for giving early warning of tornado outbreaks from 3D atmospheric radar imagery — the parameters underlying the conversion process were discovered.

Up until now, conventional machine intelligence can only learn by example in sequence; and because they require a very large number of past examples to recognize variation and identify change, many of today’s newer data sets of finite length impose a roadblock to innovating data-driven applications.

Even in those situations where the data history is not limited, legacy classical algorithms are unable to leverage the capabilities offered by Running Alpha’s massively-parallel one-shot training process (self-generated), which takes into account gauge symmetries — the unchanging geometric relationships among the viewing perspectives (quantum states) that lead to emergent structure in the real-world; and as such, traditional AI platforms are ill-designed for detecting anomalies in data we have never seen before.

Momentum Crash Unleashed -- Capital Rotations Found in the Dark with Bottom-Down Intelligence and Sentiment-Aware Momentum Perception Maps
Hoffman Financial Storm Chaser on: LinkedIn Newsletter
March 16, 2023

Momentum-based strategies for capturing the forward sentiment bias across asset classes, are especially useful in high inflation environments, like we are experiencing today.

The underlying logic is that momentum in consumer prices leads to persistent reactions in both central bank and private investment decision-making, which in turn drives asset price action.

A combination of unexpected and sharp spikes in inflation and/or inflation expectations, cloud cover surrounding the duration and extent of supply-chain disruptions, and export restrictions and protectionist trade policies, give rise to situations,

where emotional reactions to these highly uncertain outcomes can get elevated to such untenable levels for economic capital allocators to reliably manage business expectations and purchasing decisions. Such situations lead to exaggerated momentum movements in asset values.

When asset prices get pushed too far in one direction too quickly and/or over a prolonged period, they can quickly start reverting from an extreme, when investors in the prevailing trend begin unwinding their concentrated bets; thereby sending asset prices moving at an even faster rate in the opposite direction.

Our research intelligence framework and Momentum Perception Map technology, is designed precisely for this task, namely,
telling us when these extreme reversion events are knowable, and in those special time windows when we can see them before they happen,

we alert our premium subscribers of these critical transition price points, which have high potential for triggering the onset of:

Momentum Crashes – when the relative performance of the stronger and weaker assets flip direction, momentum strategies that were working before the transition begin failing ( which is distinct from the notion of a stock market crash, which, Running Alpha also has a remarkable record of seeing before they happen ).
