Useful or not, that is the question!

maestro - looks nice. will i need 36 mobiles to make it work :D


only kidding.


from my experience before trading ( i worked in the commercial dept of a few software companies), it seemed clear that good marketing and sales channels beat product design and technology hands down every time, so i'd focus on that. (msft prime example)

personally, id never use a pda for trading, unless i was managing a long term position and had to go out. im trying to say i wouldnt personally make decisions when i was out & about, unless they were pre determined orders. eg adjusting an eod stop or something.

how about something real simple like an order entry system and alarm if a level is achieved?

this looks like some day trading device??

i take it youve obviously done a bit of research into other similar products, so i guess youve sussed out there must be a market.

perhaps this sort of thing will be for the wannabe trader (no disrespect to your product) who wants to seem flash harry in the bar? so what! as long as it sells!!!!

good luck either way and hope this helps.

Thank you very much! Very useful! I will print your post and pass it on our marketing team.
As a fund manager I would like to have something like that to be constantly in touch with my positions. It was never considered to be a primary trading tool. It is meant to be an extension of your trading platform on a go. There are a few companies that provide charting and quotes for PDAs but none of them do the analysis on them.
Thanks again.

for a person that trades on so many monitors, i find if humorous that you are developing a handheld mobile device.

The product "looks" great, but the true test is how easy it is to use and how it performs.

although I am currently on the sidelines observing the market, I don't foresee myself using such a produce when I do enter into the market.

I see. The reason we started this concept is constant itching to see what is going on when you can not be at your trading station.

Hi Maestro,

I see that you switched your genitor into miniature gismos these days.
 
Hi Denis.

Unfortuneatly I am moving away from Toronto, but I think the idea is great. I also remember you had a sentiment based trading system. Congrats on everything. Your doing exactly what I want to do (combining trading with system development).

Take care,
ozzy

I forgot to mention that the device will allow you to trade in some situations when the use of a computer is impossible (Movie Theater, Lecture Hall, Car etc.) Also, during the catastrophic events (black out, fire, etc) it will keep you in touch with your positions.
 
I have had a T-mobile sidekick for the past 2 years. I can access charts and quotes from finance.yahoo.com or other sites. But I never log into my accounts(bank, brokerage or credit card) from my phone because I am not comfortable enough with the security of wireless data. I think this could be a problem for your business.
