The Financial Edge offers education on electronic stock trading for self-directed investors and traders. Some trading firms offer training on their software and equipment, but are they teaching you to trade in your best interest or in theirs? Every time you click your mouse to execute an order, the firm makes money, regardless of your profit or loss. The Financial Edge is not a brokerage firm. It teaches you to trade using your existing system and software. If the student has not yet decided on a system, the research department at The Financial Edge will assist them in choosing a system that suits their individual needs. 

The Financial Edge is dedicated to educating students to understand their place in the markets whether they are active traders, short-term traders, or long-term investors.

This new processing capability ensures that Data Broadcasting's more than 15,000 eSignal subscribers are further guaranteed true real-time market data. 

As the markets prepare for the move to extended trading hours, decimalization, and multiple listing of options, the extra speed and capacity of Compaq's Alpha servers are even more important to the data service. These market changes will dramatically increase demand for broader and faster data. Over the next year, a more-than-200% increase in message rates is expected by Nasdaq to accommodate the upcoming decimalization of market information. Trading levels are also anticipated to commonly reach 2 billion shares each day. 

The DBC network infrastructure already includes redundant servers across two ticker plant data centers. DBC's servers utilize multiple Internet access points across multiple vendors to ensure the highest reliability. In addition, a redundant high-speed IP multicast feed running over private networks supplies financial data to all sites, while maximizing bandwidth efficiency and supporting the fastest delivery.

Visual graphic modules in the program allow you to see which astrological or astronomical criteria move certain markets. The efficiency-testing module will tell you how many times the market went up or down based on which criteria you input. The program allows parameter testing. It also calculates many techniques, such as Bradley, Gann, David Williams, George Bayer, Fibonacci and the golden mean, and more. 

Version 2 of Financial Trader incorporates many statistical modules as well as artificial intelligence. The program can take historical prices from any market and will self-educate to determine whether any phenomena in the sky correlate with market rises, falls, or reversals. The program will then project a forecast stock-price graph for the future for any market.  The statistical modules allow you to test the strength of any astronomical criteria and then create probability lists showing the likelihood of making money with that criteria. 

Financial Trader reads ASCII, CSI, and MetaStock data. It comes with hard-copy documentation and a two-hour video.
