• An automatic evaluation of well-known market indicators is important – these are stochastic, moving average, and Fibonacci series. These indicators should be very well designed and must be capable of being easily switched from one to the other. For instance, immediately going from a 5-day stochastic to 9-day stochastic.
• Lastly, you have to be able to track your losses and profits via regular updates of the closing prices in the market.
So whether you are a stockholder or a broker – you trade assets and securities. Therefore, you are also interested in how much losses you incurred, or how you have gained in profit. All of these is difficult to do manually, but not with the advent of the new trading software in the internet.

Mobile Web
Posted on: September 30th, 2009Mobile web is already a big part of Europe, Asia, and the US market, beginning with the release of the Apple iPhone. Companies like Nokia, Blackberry, and Sony-Ericsson have been working on mobile web for several years now. And this is only the beginning. Over the next decade, there will be more location aware services available to consumers through mobile devices, like getting map directions while driving or sale alerts and recommendations wihle shopping in the mall.

Web Services in Web Sites
Posted on: August 25th, 2009The Internet is becoming both a database and a platform, with major websites becoming web services that will expose their information an dproducts to the world. Although these transformations are not smooth and will encounter legal bumps and sociability issues along the way, the metamorphosis of websites into web services is only a matter of time.
It will probably happen in two ways. First, sites can follow the example of Flickr and Amazon and offer their services through a REST API. Other websites will keep their information proprietary but will open them through services like Yahoo! Pipes. Unstructured information will make room for more structured information and pave the way for more intellegent surfing.

IBM and Microsoft Joins the Cloud
Posted on: June 2nd, 2009
With every industry leader developing their own version of the cloud, it will only be time when they all agree on their differences and the web begins transition into the web in the clouds where they say it will be simpler and easier to maintain. The concept of cloud computing is actually a mere revision of the old computer network setup then known as the server-client topography. The only difference is that the web is now dynamic with most of the action happening in split seconds out of sight. Doing a mere search takes a few milliseconds but the tasks that have to happen for a search to be successful is simply too complex to fathom should it be laid out and written down.

Firefox Goes 3.5
Posted on: May 2nd, 2009
The much loved web browser that has taken the web monopoly out of the much used Internet Explorer has turned version 3.5 when release candidates have been released even as their version 3.0.11 was for distribution. The newest installment is overall way better than the previous ones but they are having to face another problem and it isn’t IE yet, it’s other open-sourced browsers that have made their entry into the web.

Don’t get yourself phished!
Posted on: February 18th, 2009One of the most prevalent malicious attacks on computer systems today is called PHISHING.
Phishing is where sensitive information – such as passwords, addresses, credit card numbers, etc. – is obtained under false premises. The usual modus operandi is for a site to pretend to be a trustworthy site which then ask for users’ personal information. Some also disguise themselves as emails that tell the recipient that he or she won x amount of money in a contest they never heard of. The recipient is then required to log in or register to a site, which then records all the information inputted by the clueless person.
So before you commit to putting down sensitive information on forms on the web, make sure that the site is trustworthy – and always be suspicious of too-good-to-be-true offers that suddenly show up.
