The Impact that Louis B. Mendelsohn Has Made for Traders 

In the world of financial trading, technological innovation has repeatedly transformed how market participants analyze and forecast price movements. Few individuals have made as lasting an impression on this evolution as Louis B. Mendelsohn, whose pioneering work with artificial intelligence and intermarket analysis revolutionized technical trading approaches beginning in the 1980s. 

The Visionary Behind VantagePoint 

Louis Mendelsohn’s journey into the trading world began not as a software developer but as a trader himself. Holding an MBA in Finance, Mendelsohn was trading in the financial markets during the late 1970s when he recognized a critical limitation in the traditional technical analysis methods of the time. While conventional indicators analyzed single markets in isolation, Mendelsohn observed that markets were becoming increasingly interconnected globally. 

This crucial insight led to his groundbreaking realization: to accurately predict movements in one market, one must analyze related markets simultaneously. This concept, now widely accepted as “intermarket analysis,” was revolutionary when Mendelsohn began developing it. 

Birth of Predictive Technology 

In 1979, Mendelsohn founded Market Technologies (now Vantagepoint A.I.), becoming one of the first developers to create commercial trading software for personal computers. His initial programs were single-market analysis tools, but his vision expanded significantly in the mid-1980s. 

The true breakthrough came in 1991 when Mendelsohn released VantagePoint, the first trading software to apply artificial neural networks to intermarket analysis for financial forecasting. This was transformative — while traditional technical indicators were lagging by nature (based solely on past price data), VantagePoint’s neural networks could identify hidden patterns between related markets to generate predictive, leading indicators that forecast future market movements. 

Decades of Innovation 

What began as an innovative concept has evolved through decades of continuous development. VantagePoint pioneered the commercial application of artificial intelligence in trading software well before “A.I.” became a household term. The software now analyzes global market relationships across stocks, ETFs, futures, forex, and cryptocurrencies, using sophisticated machine learning algorithms and deep learning to identify probable market directions up to three days in advance. 

Mendelsohn’s contributions extend beyond just the software itself. Through numerous books, articles, and presentations, he has educated generations of traders about the importance of understanding global market interconnections and the power of predictive technologies in trading. 

A Legacy of Trader Success 

Perhaps Mendelsohn’s most enduring impact has been on the thousands of individual traders who have used VantagePoint to navigate volatile markets with greater confidence. By democratizing access to sophisticated forecasting tools previously available only to institutional investors, Mendelsohn helped level the playing field for retail traders across the globe. 

Today, VantagePoint continues to evolve with cutting-edge artificial intelligence while maintaining Mendelsohn’s original vision: giving traders predictive insights to make more informed decisions in interconnected global markets.
