There can never be too much information, too much of a hook to the action! Real-time trading systems cater to this yearning, and one of the prime competitors and first competitors is Roberts-Slade, Inc. (RSI), out of Provo, UT. RSI, which was started more than 10 years ago in true started-in-a-garage entrepreneurial style, still leads in providing high-powered analytics to retail and institutional traders. First Alert is RSI's effort at exploiting the power of IBM's fairly new operating system, OS/2. OS/2 brings to the DOS world a variation of the Macintosh operating interface, which makes running First Alert more pleasant and effective. Generally, both First Alert and OS/2 succeed. |
