                    QTRADER(tm) DEMO  Information File    
                  ͼ


   QTRADER is a very "user friendly" and easy to learn charting and analysis
   program. Its feature rich suite of technical indicators and line drawing
   tools are all incorporated into an intuitive pull-down menu system with
   dialog boxes for the user's input. It will use a Microsoft or Logitech
   compatible two or three button mouse if you have one installed.

   QTRADER is designed for the professional or novice trader of futures
   and stocks. Over the years, my own trading has given me hands on
   experience with technical analysis software ranging from "Futures Source
   Technical"; "IntraDay Analyst &  CompuTrac"; to "MetaStock Pro". I
   discovered that what I really needed to discipline my trades was a way
   to identify and stick with the current trend, and limit my losses if my
   timing was wrong. Focusing my attention on the contract or issue about
   to be traded, and yet keeping it simple, seemed to be my need. Fulfilling
   this need led to my development of QTRADER. All the information you
   need to remain properly positioned and limit your risk is always on
   the screen with the price chart and studies. The values of ALL of these
   data points can be examined at any point in time, within the span of
   the loaded price data.
    
   Focusing the trader's attention on the contract being traded, with the
   information needed for proper positioning and risk limiting always at
   hand, is the major goal of QTRADER.
