Dear Investor:
After graduation from the University of Colorado and spending
some time in the furniture business, I started playing penny
stocks (stocks trading for less than $1.00). After having substantial
success playing the "pennies", I bought an Apple II+
computer in 1980 in order to play the stock market full time.
When the penny market began to sour I looked into playing NYSE
stocks and options. I bought a program which generated signals
based on the OBV analysis and in one month lost $17,500. But
I remembered something I learned in a college economics class
- the major factor for determining a price is supply and demand.
I bought two books on how to program and spent six months creating
my own supply and demand analysis based loosely on the OBV idea.
My new analysis technique was good, but not accurate enough to
insure profitable trades all of the time.
I noticed an amazing relationship between a stock's price and
its 50-day moving average in O'Neill's Daily Graphs. I wrote
parameters for a price analysis based on this observation and
used them to complement my new volume analysis. Finally, I started
to make money playing the big board. The first month I made $6,700,
and by the end of 1980 I made $63,000.
After putting this all together, my new program was correct in
its analysis 78.8% of the time. The average price move was approximately
9% within a two week period. After two profitable years of investing
using the program's signals, two newspaper articles appeared
about them. I was besieged with requests for more information,
but I refused to allow anyone to see or use my programs. At that
point, I created my Futures Program and later added the Index
and Mutual Fund programs to my investment repertoire.
With the combination of these programs as my investment aids,
I was making money playing the markets. Since my programs only
needed my attention for five minutes at the end of each trading
day, I became bored. The hundreds of purchase requests I received
for my programs after the newspaper articles appeared persuaded
me that there was a tremendous demand for investment software.
On December 24, 1984, I opened T.B.S.P. Inc., made the programs
more "user friendly", called the system the "Right
Time" and added some new features.
The speed and powerful "IF-THEN" reasoning (some call
it artificial intelligence) that computers are capable of, allows
my calculations to do 85% of my investment "thinking".
As times and technology have changed, I have changed too. I started
the Trader's Access Downloading Service after getting a $4,000
bill from the Dow Jones News Retrieval Service (I tried Dial
Data but they charged $70.00 per month). I created my Trader's
Access software, which includes charting and exporting, and incorporated
the Right Time calculations into the Trader's Access software
as an add-on module.
Trader's Access is a terrific program that you can use to just
download and export data to other programs or as your primary
technical analysis tool. Either way, you win! After reviewing
my web site, you will see that Trader's Access can help you make
and save money. After all, isn't that the bottom line?!
Sincerely,
I.N. Botnick, President
