Re: Internet data feed - security risk?

Larry,

In any case I cannot see why an Internet feed should be better than
satellite.

Gerrit, I struggled with the value of internet feed myself.  However I have
seen many good internet feeds available.  I have used them and the
dependability and speed is certainly as good as satellite.  I am not the
only one who has observed this, there have been others who have said the
same.  When deciding on doing my own VaporStation I could have went with any
feed and any delivery method we wanted, or all of them.  However we felt
like the only way we could provide a real trader a set down and do your
business platform was to do all the data feed drudgery for him.  Some of the
advantages of letting us provide you with both the application and the data
are as follows:

You have no software to load or to mess with hardware incompatibilities.

If you have a internet browser version that meets our criteria then you have
all you need.


This allows someone who has 486 the ability to run faster than others who
are running a client side application that is doing the charting and the
data collection.  Other software vendors should at the very least make
available a product that can run the server on one computer and the charting
on another.  But things seldom change when you have someone selling
something that they dont actually use themselves for the intended purpose...

By using the internet you could theoretically run as many charting
applications as you want, all at one time.  The only limit would be your
computer power to run so many all at once..

Plat for independent comes to mind, if it can have a web browser then it can
run our application.

Tick Data Plant, we hold all the historical data and it should be fully
disclosed common format.  Do what you want with as much as you want, I dont
care nock yourself out.

We are currently programming an automatic data correction and error trade
replacement switch on the server so you can have it your way (like you have
it now) or our way clean and filtered.

We want a professional trader to be able to set down and trade and not
maintain a piece of software and its data base.

These are the primary reasons that come to mind why we picked an internet
data feed first for our new product.

Wanting to give everyone what they want though we have decided to do a stand
alone version that will use every data feed available by every data delivery
method.  But that is in the future, we first wanted to do the most people
the most good and so the internet.  Security and all the concerns will be a
mute point, we have a military encryption scheme that is impossible to
crack.  Let me correct it can be cracked but it cant be deciphered no way.
It is totally transparent to speed of data flow and it will provide our
order entry modules with complete and total security.
