Advanced Charting

Charting is the most important tool in technical analysis and almost all trading programs have a chart of some form. Since charting is such a common tool, you are at no advantage over other traders if you look only at simple charts.

By combining advanced analytical tools and direct order placement, NeoTicker®'s charts can help you gain more insights from data, react faster in real-time and work more comfortably.

High Performance Pattern Scanner

clientsidecontrol_w260Many traders rely on commonly available lists such as "most active stocks", "highest volume stocks", etc. as the first step to narrow down trading opportunities. Think about it. These lists are available to all traders. By the time you find something to trade, hundreds of other traders could have made the same discovery. It is very difficult to take advantage of commonly available lists.

What you need is your own custom scanning criteria. With NeoTicker®, you can specify virtually any combination of spread, data and indicators as your scanning criteria. The scanning happens on client side - your computer. So you have 100% control over what to scan, and how to scan it.

Only with NeoTicker®'s client side scanning, you have the control over scanning criteria and it puts your ahead of your fellow traders.

NeoTicker® offers you three types of scanning technologies:

  • Quote window based scanning that can scan at close to real-time speed (screenshot).
  • Sophisticated pattern scanner that is designed to handle large scanning jobs. Pattern scanner can scan baskets and perform chain scanning (screenshot, illustration).
  • Scan Workshop that lets you scan using chart patterns that are visually intuitive (screenshot, screenshot, screenshot).

NeoTicker® uses what we called an accountable order placement system. Before an order is sent to your broker, NeoTicker® logs the order in a database. When your broker fills the order, NeoTicker® will receive an update and logs the transaction in the database.

Having a database means you have the facility to query past orders and transactions. So you can objectively evaluate your trading performance.
