Just a Quick Intro
Keith Kaplan and TradeSmith have started a new promo campaign for their TradeStops investment and portfolio-analysis software called the Stock Genome Project.
Kaplan and his team have harnessed the power of their TradeStops software suite to offer “Wall Street caliber technology” to everyday investors.
Based on a powerful proprietary algorithm that makes millions of calculations every day, the TradeStops package includes tools designed to provide investors with concise, continually-updated stock recommendations.

Who is Keith Kaplan?
Keith Kaplan is the CEO of TradeSmith, the investment research firm which developed and maintains the market analysis software known as TradeStops.
A software architect and engineer with decades of experience, Keith describes himself as someone good at making money but not so successful at investing it.
All that changed when he encountered the team at TradeSmith in 2015. Using their “proprietary VQ algorithm,” Kaplan helped them develop the suite of trading and investment analysis software tools known as TradeStops.
Rising through the company ranks to become CEO, Keith developed a passion for sharing this software with other independent investors. The same software helped him “[turn his] own financial history around.”
What is TradeStops?
TradeStops is a software suite of investment and stock portfolio analysis tools developed by TradeSmith and its CEO, Keith Kaplan.
TradeSmith is known for its proprietary “VQ algorithm,” which is based on the work of Nobel Prize-winning economists and serves as the heart of the TradeStops software.
The TradeStops tools were created to provide investors with the detailed information needed to: know when to enter or exit any investment position, know how many shares of a stock to buy, know the actual health of potential stock purchases, and know “at a glance” the most up-to-date recommendations for their investments.
The latest update to this software is called the Stock Genome Project.
The Stock Genome Project
After millions of dollars and a decade spent in development, Keith Kaplan finally believes that his Stock Genome Project is ready for primetime.
Keith argues that just like every cell in our bodies, stocks contain a “unique genetic code” hidden deep within them.
For all intents and purposes, this code represents that stock’s “DNA.”
And, in much the same way doctors can now analyze our genetic information to reveal hidden diseases and weaknesses, Kaplan’s system scrubs through “stock DNA,” determining the relative “health” of each stock.
According to Kaplan:
“What we’ve uncovered is mind-blowing. Every stock has its own unique DNA! No two stocks are the same, just like no two people are the same.”
The team at TradeSmith claims to have used this information to “crush the performance of billionaire investors” and predict market trends days or even “weeks ahead of time.”
They’re calling the Stock Genome Project:
“…the single greatest edge in the investing world.”
And…
“…the biggest breakthrough in history for Main Street Americans.”
The system requires a ludicrously expensive supercomputer to crunch through millions of daily calculations for the stocks in its database.
The mathematical backbone of this constant, “genetic” analysis of tens of thousands of different stocks, day in and day out, is the Volatility Quotient Signal algorithm.
Stock DNA and the Volatility Quotient Signal
Simply put, the Volatility Quotient (VQ) Signal (or score) is a number that tells investors how a stock is expected to behave.
As TradeSmith describes it, every stock has its own unique VQ score. Volatile stocks have a high VQ score, and more stable stocks have a low VQ score.
By comparing the current behavior of a stock to its VQ score, TradeSmith claims that its system can determine if the trading activity seems normal or if something more unusual is afoot.
This “genetic” scan of a company’s VQ signal, which requires 9,250 calculations per day” for each stock, provides investors with real-time information to help grow and protect their portfolios.
The VQ signal is designed to remove the human factor from the investing equation.
This frees investors to make decisions based on numbers rather than emotions.
To know when to buy…
…And to recognize when the instinct to dig in your heels on a tanking stock is driven by stubbornness rather than cold, hard facts.
For investors who’ve followed past recommendations of TradeStops’ VQ-powered Stock DNA, Kaplan cites potential returns of:
- 259% on Immunovant
- 308% on Nine Energy Service Inc.
- 1,040% on Tesla
- 1,887% on Novavax
- 4,628% on GameStop
Not too shabby.
So, now you may be asking…
How Exactly Does TradeStops Work?
Keith’s been asked more than once to explain precisely what’s “going on under the hood” of this thing.
The TradeStops software platform includes several tools designed to help subscribers take advantage of the continually-updated VQ signal information.
First, the software analyzes over 50,000 securities, including stocks, mutual funds, index funds, and ETFs.
Subscribers get full access to this Stock Genome Project DNA Database.
Second, there is the DNA Health Status ticker which translates the VQ score of every stock into a simple recommendation system modeled after a stoplight.
- RED: Sell
- YELLOW: Hold or Caution
- GREEN: Buy
And time durations are listed to show investors exactly when the status of each stock changed.
Third, brokerage account connection functionality is built into the software, allowing users to link their investment portfolios and get instant, completely private scores for every security they own.
This means subscribers receive constantly-updated DNA reports indicating the health of each of their holdings.
And TradeSmith ensures that their users’ portfolio data is protected by “airtight, bank-level security.”
Fourth, the software includes extensive newsletter connection functionality. This means you can link the model portfolios of any major financial publications to which you subscribe…and instantly see the comprehensive DNA and health ratings for those stocks.
Fifth, TradeStops includes a position size calculator which shows users their predicted risk for any dollar amount they wish to invest in any given stock.
This means users can calculate their ideal position size on any stock…
…And see whether it’s time to buy or sell shares based on the latest health score for that company.
And last but not least…
You set the criteria for what triggers an alert for each stock and individual position, so Kaplan promises you’ll always have the info you need without having to stay “glued to your screen.”
