QUOTE EXPRESS 3.2 RJT Systems Inc. Integrated Financial Solutions Inc. 1049 Sw Baseline, Suite B-200 Hillsboro, OR 97123 Phone: (503) 640-5303 or (800) 729-5037 Product: Quote management software that transfers data to quote screens and analysis packages Price: $149 to $415, depending on options ordered Equipment required: IBM compatible, 286 CPU or better with 8.5 megabytes in hard-disk space and Data Transmission Network (DTN) datafeed. One of the more exciting prospects in front of retail—and even institutional— traders is a dramatic decline in data costs. With the advent of cheap, real-time and delayed data feeds, traders who are fast on their feet can conceivably capture all the data they. need currently and, in the proscess, build a historical trading database. g QuoteExpress (QE) is one of the first products out there to make this reasonably easy. Late in 1992, I reported on DTN Wall Street, an extremely reasonable datafeed that features delayed quotes on futures, stocks and news. QuoteExpress takes the data from DTN and stores it on your hard disk while presenting you with a much better quote screen display than DTN can manage on its own. On your command, QE will download the day's price to your analytical package—MetaStock, Commodity Systems, Inc., CompuTrac, whatever. Should you wish to, you may then jump immediately into that package from QuoteExpress and then back to QuoteExpress. Clearly, RJT, the developer of QuoteExpress, has gone out of its way to facilitate traders ' usage of the data, but there's more: QE comes with a small terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) that stays in your computer's memory when you leave QE, constantly funneling data from the DTN feed to your hard disk. Thus, your computer isn't dedicated just to data capture. Once started, the TSR works as long as your computer is turned on. All you have to do is turn on the machine and leave it on. |
