Satellite datafeed speeds data
NEW -- Data Transmission Network Corporation (DTN) offers a new real-time quote and news service for personal computers called DTN Real-Time. Previously, all DTN services displayed information on a stand-alone unit, which could then pass the information to a PC. The new service delivers nearly 12,000 characters per second, which is roughly four times faster than a computer modem operating at 28.8 KBS, or the speed that a trader likely relies on to download data over the Internet.
DTN Real-Time is delivered via satellite and will soon be offered via cable television's vertical blanking interval technology. The dual-channel DTN Real-Time receiver grabs the information from the satellite signal and stores it on an internal hard drive to help ensure data redundancy.
The fee is $89 per month (under a prepaid annual contract) plus exchange fees. The subscriber receives all equipment and software necessary to use the service on his or her personal computer, which includes the receiver, satellite dish and software to connect to the subscriber's PC. DTN Real-Time offers a 30-day free trial. Subscribers pay a one-time initiation fee of $298.

Version 2.0 analyzes wave counts that the user has defined. It recognizes patterns and gives feedback on the validity of wave counts. The wave tree feature gives a visual depiction of wave degrees. Clicking on a wave label in the wave tree will zoom in on the appropriate section in the chart, show the connected Fibonacci ratios, and reveal which rules have been satisfied or broken. In addition, ELWAVE graphically presents alternative paths of future price action for each pattern phase.
ELWAVE comes in two versions, end-of-day and intraday. ELWAVE is an object-oriented program with 32-bit design and reads the MetaStock file format. Prognosis' next release of ELWAVE will perform Elliott wave analysis automatically.
