Time Streaming Quote Services For the serious trader, watching real time prices and trends in one window, while having your stock trading site appear in another window is definitely having the "Edge".

Also having the ability to set alarm parameters that are activated when price points are hit, then making the trade is the loaded dice for success. Combined, this total "Edge" is really an example of our STAR path in action. Strategic - Focusing on the long term. Tactical - Action you can take now and in the near future. Anticipating - Sensing the future trends and shifts. We call this STAR Gazing. Risk Sensible - Risk management. So you don't become a Falling STAR.
