The StockHero Sigma Series bots are powerful, high-performance machines. They tell you how to trade with proven, automated strategies. But to achieve elite-level returns, you need to answer a critical question: Which stock should I trade now?
This is where the StockHero AI Chatbot becomes your secret weapon.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through a three-step process to combine the successful trading history of the Sigma Series with the analytical intelligence of the AI Chatbot, transforming a list of potential stocks into a shortlist of the strongest, highest-conviction trades.
Disclaimer: The AI Chatbot is a tool to organize and analyze stock data and it does not provide buy/sell advice. Decisions remain with you.
Why Metrics Matter for Trading Bots
Automated trading systems don’t operate on instinct — they execute decisions driven entirely by data. Several key indicators shape how these bots select and manage their positions:
- Liquidity: Determines whether the bot can enter or exit trades without significant disruption.
- Volatility: Ensures there’s enough price movement to capture gains, while avoiding extreme swings that can amplify losses.
- Stability: Helps filter out assets that are prone to sudden crashes or irregular behavior.
- Growth Prospects: Flags companies with strong fundamentals and long-term expansion potential.
- Valuation: Prevents overpaying for stocks whose earnings don’t justify the price.
These metrics don’t tell investors what to buy; rather, they reveal why bots behave the way they do. Understanding them can offer clearer insights into automated trading strategies and support smarter, data-driven decisions.
Step 1: The Starting Line – Mining for High-Potential Stock Candidates
Automated bots generate profit by successfully trading volatile and liquid stocks. The best place to find your next great trade is where your current bots are already winning.
Action: Review the Sigma Series Traded Stocks List
Starting with the Traded Stocks List from the Strategy Marketplace is a smart first step. These are stocks that other users’ bots have widely traded historically
A smart trader, let’s call him Alex, checks the “Traded Stocks List” for his top-performing bot (e.g., Sigma Series Fast). He sees that this strategy is widely used by many users to trade these stocks.
This is a simulated example showing how the StockHero AI Chatbot can help generate investment ideas.
Alex’s Initial Stock List (Illustrative Examples):
TSLA, AMD, NVDA, GOOG, CAT, FDX, DE, MSFT, SMCI, TSM
This list is good, but it’s too broad. Alex needs to narrow it down based on fundamentals and future prospects.
Step 2: The First Filter – Using the AI Chatbot for Fundamental Screening
Alex uses the Chatbot to quickly screen the 10 stocks based on core valuation metrics. A high Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio can signal overvaluation, while the Forward P/E ratio gives a glimpse into future expectations.
Alex’s Query 1: Comparative Valuation (Illustrative Query)
“Among these 10 stock symbols (TSLA, AMD, NVDA, GOOG, CAT, FDX, DE, MSFT, SMCI, TSM), please list the current P/E Ratio for each.”
AI Chatbot Output (Simulated):
| Symbol | Current P/E Ratio (Approx.) |
| TSLA | 293.7 |
| AMD | 109.3 |
| NVDA | 46.0 |
| GOOG | 31.0 |
| CAT | 31.0 |
| DE | 25.3 |
| MSFT | 34.9 |
| SMCI | 27.8 |
| TSM | 30.5 |
| FDX | 16.7 |
- Alex’s Action: He immediately filters out TSLA and AMD due to their extremely high P/E ratios, which indicate a hefty premium and could be prone to sharp pullbacks—too risky for his high-frequency bot right now.
- New Shortlist (Illustrative): NVDA, GOOG, CAT, FDX, DE, MSFT, SMCI, TSM
Step 3: The Final Cut – Seeking Growth and Minimizing Risk
Alex is down to 8 solid, profitable companies. He now needs two things for his final pick: strong future growth and low institutional resistance.
Alex’s Query 2: Growth Prospects and Institutional Sentiment (Illustrative)
“Among my remaining 8 symbols (NVDA, GOOG, CAT, FDX, DE, MSFT, SMCI, TSM), which are the top three with the best near-term revenue growth prospects based on consensus estimates, and which of the eight has the lowest short interest percentage?”
This is a powerful, multi-faceted query that extracts both fundamental prediction and risk analysis in a single prompt.
AI Chatbot Output (Simulated):
“Based on current consensus estimates, the top three stocks for near-term revenue growth are generally:
- NVDA: Driven by unprecedented demand in AI data center infrastructure.
- SMCI: Benefiting as a primary supplier for high-performance computing and AI servers.
- MSFT / GOOG: Strong, diversified growth across cloud services (Azure/GCP) and subscription models.
Regarding risk, the stock among your list with the lowest short interest percentage (indicating the fewest institutional bets against its price) is typically MSFT (often <0.5% of float).”
- Alex’s Analysis:
- NVDA and SMCI offer explosive growth, but their high P/E (and high volatility) might be too much for a general strategy.
- MSFT (Microsoft) offers strong growth (top 3) paired with the lowest institutional risk (lowest short interest). This combination of stability and forward momentum is ideal for a systematic bot like the Sigma Series.
Final Decision & Execution
Alex chooses MSFT as his high-conviction trade. The AI Chatbot didn’t tell him to buy it, but it provided the data and comparative context he needed to confidently deploy his Sigma Series Fast Bot on a stock poised for stable growth and low internal resistance.
Summary: Your 3-Step AI Bot Workflow
| Stage | Action | AI Chatbot Role |
| 1. Discovery | Review the Traded Stocks List from a successful Marketplace Strategy (e.g., Sigma Series). | None—Initial Data Source. |
| 2. Analysis | Query the Chatbot for fundamental metrics (P/E, Revenue Growth) on the shortlist. | Data Aggregator & Comparer. |
| 3. Conviction | Query the Chatbot to analyze growth and risk (short interest). | Analyst & Risk Assessor. |
| 4. Execution | Deploy your chosen strategy (e.g., Sigma Series) on the high-conviction stock. | None—Bot Execution. |
