The Innova Story: Revolutionizing Stock Trading Through AI
​
The Genesis
​
Nearly two years ago, our founder Kevin Griffiths embarked on an ambitious journey to transform the world of stock trading. Frustrated by the emotional decision-making, human error, and limitations of traditional trading approaches, Kevin envisioned a platform that would harness the power of artificial intelligence to deliver superior results for investors.
This vision wasn't born overnight. It emerged from countless hours analyzing market inefficiencies and recognizing the potential for AI to process vast amounts of data far beyond human capabilities. With a background in technology and finance, Kevin assembled our team of experts to turn this vision into reality.
​
Our Roots
​
The creation of Innova wasn't Kevin's first venture into building sophisticated technological platforms. Before launching Innova, Kevin had already established his expertise through the successful development of Xource (xource.com), a platform that revolutionized how businesses connect with technical talent.
​
The experience of building Xource provided us with crucial skills that would later become the foundation for Innova:
​
Data-Driven Decision Making: At Xource, we mastered the art of using data analytics to match businesses with the right technical talent. This same analytical rigor was applied to Innova's AI engine, enabling it to process vast amounts of market data and make informed trading decisions.
​
Algorithm Development: The matching algorithms we developed for Xource required sophisticated pattern recognition and predictive capabilities. These same principles were expanded and refined for Innova's trading algorithms, which now analyze over 100 technical indicators simultaneously.
​
Integration Expertise: Building seamless integrations with various platforms and APIs was a core component of Xource's functionality. This expertise proved invaluable when integrating Innova with regulated brokerages like Alpaca through their API.
​
User Experience Design: Making complex technology accessible and user-friendly was a hallmark of Xource. We applied these same principles to Innova, creating an intuitive interface that makes sophisticated AI trading accessible to everyone.
​
Scaling Technology: The challenges of building and scaling Xource prepared our team for the computational demands of Innova's real-time market analysis and trading platform.
The creation of Innova wasn't just a new business venture—it was the natural evolution of our vision to leverage technology to solve complex problems. By applying the technical expertise and business acumen developed through Xource, we were uniquely positioned to revolutionize the world of stock trading.
​
The Development Phase
​
The development of what would eventually become Innova was no small feat. For almost two years, we worked tirelessly, building and refining our sophisticated AI engine capable of analyzing over 100 technical indicators simultaneously. We faced numerous challenges along the way – perfecting our algorithms, ensuring reliable risk management protocols, and creating a user-friendly interface that would make this powerful technology accessible to everyone.
Our team was meticulous in our approach, constantly testing and iterating our models. Each improvement brought us closer to our goal: a platform that could deliver consistent returns while minimizing risk through emotionless, data-driven trading decisions.
​
Private Success
​
Before publicly launching Innova, we wanted to validate our technology with real users and real market conditions. We quietly onboarded 63 private clients through our personal networks, allowing these early adopters to experience the power of our platform firsthand.
The timing of this private beta couldn't have been more challenging – or more revealing of our platform's capabilities. The market experienced some of the most volatile conditions in the last century, with dramatic swings that would typically devastate traditional traders. Yet, even in this turbulent environment, our users achieved remarkable results: returns exceeding 100% within just six months of using our platform.
​
These results weren't isolated to a few lucky users. Our platform consistently delivered, with average monthly returns between 7-14% and a maximum drawdown of only 5.5% – metrics that far outperformed most professional traders and competing algorithms.
​
The Success Factors
​
What made Innova so effective when others faltered? Several key factors contributed to our success:
​
Our AI's ability to analyze market data across multiple dimensions simultaneously – price movements, trading volumes, financial reports, news, and market sentiment.
​
Our sophisticated risk management system that automatically adjusts stop-losses and take-profit levels as market conditions change.
​
Integration with US regulated brokers, ensuring compliance and security for all transactions.
Most importantly, the complete removal of emotional decision-making from the trading process, relying instead on pure data-driven intelligence.
​
Going Public
​
After witnessing the remarkable success of our private users and perfecting our platform through real-world testing, we are now ready for our public debut. Our team is excited to release this revolutionary AI technology to the general public with special early access pricing.
This launch represents more than just a new product offering – it's the culmination of our two-year journey to reinvent stock trading for the modern era.
We stand poised to democratize AI trading, making sophisticated AI-driven strategies accessible to investors who previously couldn't compete with institutional traders and their advanced tools.
​
As the financial markets continue to evolve, we remain committed to staying at the cutting edge of AI technology, continuously improving our algorithms and expanding our capabilities to deliver exceptional results for our growing community of users.
