VirPoint Expands Executive Team with Dave Ellis to Lead Precision Trading and Technology Integration

Starting his career in 2004, when manual execution and human-driven analysis still dominated the trading floor, Ellis has navigated the rise of algorithmic systems, the explosion of online brokerage platforms, and the emergence of cryptocurrencies as mainstream assets.

Originally from Greece, Ellis built his career on one core belief: accuracy beats speculation. At 44, he combines a seasoned trader’s instinct with cutting-edge analytical tools to help clients across the UK and Europe pursue smarter, more controlled portfolio growth.

Since joining VirPoint.com four years ago as Senior Investment Specialist, Ellis has become one of the firm’s leading advocates of precision trading, a discipline that merges data analytics, AI-assisted decision-making, and disciplined execution to achieve measurable, repeatable performance across client portfolios.

The Philosophy of Precision Trading

For Ellis, precision trading means achieving a high level of analytical accuracy and control through advanced technology and rigorous data validation. “Every decision should have a measurable reason behind it,” he often says a mindset that defines the VirPoint method.

Using VirPoint’s proprietary AI suite and a range of analytical tools, Ellis focuses on identifying pinpoint entry points and optimal exit zones to secure stronger reward-to-risk ratios. His strategies emphasize the integration of historical correlation, real-time sentiment analysis, and quantitative modeling ensuring that each move aligns with probability, not emotion.

Data-Driven Research and Selection

Ellis is a proponent of using AI-based screeners and data-aggregation systems to simplify complex analysis. Within VirPoint’s internal research framework, he relies on advanced ranking models similar to VectorVest’s VST system and Kavout’s K Score tools that help identify undervalued yet fundamentally strong assets for long-term allocation.

He also integrates TradeEasy-style sentiment analytics, which convert global financial news into structured data, flagging bullish or bearish momentum shifts in real time. This approach enables VirPoint clients to understand not just what is happening in the market, but why.

Systematic Portfolio Construction

Ellis applies precision principles to portfolio design itself. Through VirPoint’s AI Portfolio Wizard, portfolios are built around each client’s goals and risk tolerance, balancing traditional equities with select digital assets.
Before any strategy goes live, Ellis ensures it passes a multi-year backtest using engines comparable to TrendSpider and Finviz Elite to verify that each model performs reliably across different market cycles.

This systematic process has produced consistent results: client portfolios under Ellis’s supervision recorded an average annual return of 17.4 percent in 2023, outperforming several UK CFD benchmarks reported by Yahoo Finance.

Timing the Market and Managing Risk

Precision trading isn’t only about entries, it’s about discipline. Ellis uses market-timing indicators and risk-optimization tools akin to VectorVest’s Market Timing Gauge and MetaStock Forecaster to manage exposure.
These systems provide forward-looking probability clouds, helping him decide when to scale positions, tighten stops, or rotate clients’ capital into safer instruments.

His risk management philosophy mirrors institutional frameworks: control volatility first, pursue growth second. This steady approach has made Ellis a favorite among long-term investors who prioritize capital preservation.

A Conversation with Dave Ellis

In a recent interview at VirPoint’s London office, Ellis spoke candidly about the evolving role of technology in modern investing. Sitting across from a member of the firm’s research team, he described how “precision is not just about hitting the right trade — it’s about understanding why it’s right.” His calm, analytical approach reflects both his years on the trading floor and his commitment to continuous learning. Whether discussing AI integration, portfolio structure, or market psychology, Ellis emphasized the same guiding principle: disciplined execution supported by data-driven insight.

Automation and Execution Discipline

To ensure consistency, Ellis incorporates automated-execution technology such as SignalStack-style middleware, connecting chart alerts directly to live trading accounts.
Orders are executed within milliseconds removing hesitation and emotion from the process which, as Ellis notes, “keeps strategy stronger than psychology.”
Automation allows him to monitor dozens of portfolios simultaneously while maintaining exact adherence to strategy parameters.

Leadership at VirPoint

Within VirPoint, Ellis mentors rising analysts on systematic strategy design and quantitative thinking. He is also a frequent contributor to the VirPoint Academy, where he conducts webinars on risk control, diversification, and the intersection of AI and human insight.
Colleagues often credit him with helping to refine VirPoint’s Precision Desk, the internal team dedicated to developing next-generation forecasting models.

Looking Ahead

As VirPoint continues to expand its reach across Europe, Dave Ellis remains at the center of its precision-trading philosophy, merging twenty-plus years of real-market experience with data-driven innovation.
