  64. <h2 style="text-align: center;">What does AutoPeak do?</h2>
  65. <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>THE QUICK ANSWER:</strong> We look for unusual institutional activity to identify which stocks large investors are likely moving their money to and from.&nbsp; We are looking at the big money. Then we marry our scoring technique to showcase stocks that are likely to go up and down. We provide high level research to hedge funds and institutions ranging in size from a few hundred million dollars in assets up to multi-billion dollar managers.</p>
  66. <p style="text-align: center;">
  67. <strong>
  68. <span style="font-size: large;">
  69. WE TRY TO FIND OUT WHEN LARGE INVESTORS GET INVOLVED EARLY ON.<br>
  70. WE HAVE A HISTORY OF SUCCESS IN DOING SO.
  71. </span><br>
  72. <span style="font-size: large;">&#8203;WE BRING THOSE STOCKS TO YOU.</span>

  80. <p><strong>THE LONG ANSWER:&nbsp;</strong>We have nearly 30 years combined experience working in the equity markets and the Mapsignals approach has a strong track record going back 7 years.

  115. <p>Do we win all the time?&nbsp;<strong>Absolutely not.&nbsp;</strong>But we take a statistical approach to investing. That is- we look at stocks altogether in a big crowd.&nbsp; We look for traits in individual stocks that we have learned to carry time-tested qualities that help a stock grow year after year. When we layer this with our signal we improve our odds.&nbsp; We are all about stacking the odds in our favor and applying that mentality to investing.&nbsp;<u><strong>The premise is simple: with the odds in your favor, you should win over the long-term.&nbsp; And not just win, but also beat the market.</strong></u></p>
  116. <p>Let’s talk about our proprietary signal for a minute. These signals are rare for a given stock, but when you look at thousands of stocks each day, there is always something unusual going on in multiple stocks. When we say rare, we mean out of the 4000+ stocks we look at every day in the U.S. alone, we get on average about 100 of these big buying and selling signals. At this point, we know this is more than the everyday action in the stock and then we delve in deeper.</p>
  117. <p><strong>Our signal works like this:</strong>&nbsp;when you want to buy a stock, you place your order for 100 or so shares and you get filled. Your trade is hardly even noticed in the hundreds of thousands or millions of shares that trade every day. But what happens when huge money managers want to own a stake in a stock? Does that happen in one trade? It can but that is unlikely. Think about it, if you managed billions of dollars and wanted to buy a stock- 100 shares isn’t going to do it! You need to take a meaningful position that will have an impact on your overall portfolio.&nbsp; Wouldn’t you want to keep it quiet? Maybe, but that is not always easy to do.</p>
  118. <p>How do we know when the big boys trade their stocks? The Mapsignals founders have traded literally <strong>billions of shares of stock.&nbsp;</strong>We traded and sold derivatives and stocks for big investments banks for a combined time of over 25 years. Our light-bulb moment came when one day out of the blue, we had an order from a big client to buy shares in a stock; let’s call it XYZ. We went out and found him a seller of 100 thousand shares. We did the trade and we were happy. Our buyer however wanted more. We found more stock and traded another 100 thousand shares. By the end of the day we traded <u>one million</u>&nbsp;shares of this company; this was millions of dollars worth of stock! We were ecstatic! That was big, but our buyer wasn’t done! We had this order&nbsp;<strong>every trading day for a month.</strong>&nbsp;Think about that. By the time our buyer was done he had bought a large percentage of the company’s outstanding stock through our desk! It wasn’t until a 13D filing of material ownership hit the news that we realized our buyer had not only bought through us, but through several other big banks as well. An activist hedge fund announced that it now owned a material stake in the stock of this company.</p>
  119. <p><strong>The important thing is this:</strong>&nbsp;since the first day we traded XYZ until the news hit that the buyer had bought a large percentage of the company, the stock went up over 50% in a month.</p>
  120. <p>
  121. We knew this was anything but ordinary, but we also knew he wasn’t the only investor taking big stakes in companies. There had to be examples like this fairly frequently. We spent years and found a way to find unusual trading activity early on without being on the trading desk. We studied price, volume, and volatility in order to be able to see when something is out of the ordinary. We now had a way of detecting these orders&nbsp;<strong>just as they got started.</strong><br>
