What Is the Cramer's AI?

Why Cramer's AI?
It is a multi-paradigm artificial intelligence (AI) system that attempts to produce
successful trading and investing solutions based on information collected from a
number of sources.  The initial source is the teachings of James J. Cramer as given in
his show on  
CNBC MAD MONEY, and his books REAL MONEY, MAD MONEY, and STAY
MAD

Over time, and as deemed necessary, new strategies will be integrated into the
Cramer's AI. These strategies include, but are not limited to: Trend Trading strategies,
Trend Following strategies, Turtle Trading strategies and Technical and Fundamental
Analysis strategies.

The Cramer's AI originates in my work on a project named Colossus M1-20. That project
utilized Neural Networks, Genetic and Evolutionary Algorithms and a number of unique
learning algorithms operating in a runtime environment of a relatively large scale
parallel processing system. Colossus M1-20 had as many as 5000 threads of
execution running across 20 nodes of an openMosix cluster.

Colossus M1-20 was successful in learning how to make predictions up to 5 hours into
the future on any given equity. Given enough time, about one to three hours, its
performance was always impressive.

Colossus M 20 had a weakness It lacked the ability to select equities that would
maximize profits within a given day or other period of time. The Cramer's AI addresses
this weakness along with money management and asset allocation algorithms, thereby
allowing solutions to be traceable to a much greater degree.

The core of Colossus M3-20 should provide the intuition that drives the Cramer’s AI.
Quoting David Denby of 'The New Yorker' “Cramer is the greatest public generator of
excitement and knowledge about the market today” This states how iconic a teacher he
is in the workings of Wall Street Markets. Never in my many years as a software
developer, engineer and architect in the financial industry have I encountered anyone
who so clearly explained how the Wall Street markets work even given the fact that I have
been responsible for a number of important systems used in the Financial Industry.

Capturing and automating James Cramer’s knowledge and expertise is, I believe, a
worthy challenge and, at least as important, a tribute to a great teacher that would
remain even after he retires.

Colossus M3-20 is the name of the AI.  However, it was James Cramer who in part
inspired me to revive the Colossus project.  It is an automation of his teachings and
lectures hence the name Cramer’s AI..
