Are you still involved with ClearStation? Yes, I am. I'm a member of the core section of Recommend, an area on the website -- my username is "kensey." I still send recommendations to that, and those go to about 400,000 people. Let's talk about that a little later. First, though, what inspired you to start something like ClearStation Community - is that what you call it? That's fine. I started it in the summer of 1996. I worked on it for about two years on my own, and then, once I had most of the sections of the website functional, I got an investor, Kris Skrinak, who provided the initial funding to build the company, involved. While I continued to work on the software, Kris pretty much did all the other necessary things to create a company, which is a pretty involved task. He also became the chief executive officer (CEO). I was the chief technology officer (CTO). What got you interested in creating something like this? And in technical analysis, of all topics? Before I got started, there weren't really any sites that allowed traders
to apply technical screening characteristics to stocks. I wanted a powerful
tool that would let you take all the stocks you were interested in and
view their charts quickly. At ClearStation, you can build portfolios and
watchlists, and see all the charts for those stocks on one screen. There's
a feature called "Graphs and Bulk," and that allows you to see
as many as 100 sets of charts for the stocks that you're tracking, as well
as track their relative performance to each other. This was a powerful
new way to track the stocks that traders are interested in. ...Continued in the June 2002 issue of Technical Analysis of STOCKS & COMMODITIES
