First Online Tool to Bring Professional Functionality to Individual Investors
CHICAGO, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- PCQuote.com, Inc., a subsidiary of
HyperFeed Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR), announced today the release of
PCQuote Orbit, the industry's first financial data software created with the
non-professional online investor in mind. PCQuote Orbit takes the most
sophisticated features of professional financial data software, such as
real-time streaming quotes and intraday charting with analysis, and delivers
them in a format that is easy to use and affordable. With Orbit, the
individual investor can turn any Internet-enabled computer into a personal
window on the exchange floor.
"The launch of PCQuote Orbit is proof of PCQuote.com's commitment to
empower the individual investor by equipping them with the proper tools and
services they need to make well-informed, independent financial decisions,"
said Tim Krauskopf, President of PCQuote.com, Inc. "Orbit's features are the
essential tools, which until now were primarily available only to the
professional stock broker and trader. Orbit also makes these tools easy to
use and affordable."
"PCQuote Orbit brings the excitement of the stock market into people's
homes. Instead of waiting for market updates, an investor can use Orbit to
watch every trade as it happens. Having that kind of knowledge at your
fingertips is powerful," said David Kahl, PCQuote.com's Vice President of
Sales and Marketing.
Flexible Tools for Every InvestorPCQuote
Orbit is comprised of a wide variety of unique investment modules that
allow the individual investor to keep a close watch on the markets. Orbit's
modules can be used together for in-depth analysis and investment planning or
individually to get a quick snap shot of a particular issue in streaming
real-time. The modules include: Charts with Analysis, Time and Sales, Top Ten
Stocks, Tickers, Quick Quotes, Options, News, and Web Link. The Web Link
module allows a user to open a browser window to an online brokerage website
to make an instant trade or to chat online with other investors while keeping
an eye on the market. The Top Ten stock module gives a quick glimpse of the
most active stock gainers and losers on each exchange.
Quick Access to Information
Another unique feature of PCQuote Orbit is the Launcher Bar, which can be
minimized on a user's desktop. The Launcher Bar enables a user to open only
those modules that are needed or recall a pre-configured personal investment
research center. Other software applications can continue running along with
Orbit, allowing users to work on their computer while a ticker or chart runs
in the background.
PCQuote Orbit is available with North American stocks, options and
indices, and is powered by Hyperfeed 2000, the fastest datafeed available.
PCQuote Orbit will be sold through http://www.pcquote.com and its telesales
organization and is priced at $55 a month plus exchange fees.
