thinkorswim's Shadow Trader To Deliver Free Live Market Analysis and Market CommentaryAs part of the release, thinkorswim enhances software platform by offering a new web-based trading platform, becoming the first retail trading application powered by AJAX Technology September 19, 2006; 03:08 AM thinkorswim Technologies, Inc., the software, intellectual property and technology building arm of thinkorswim, an industry-leading online brokerage, announced the launch of Shadow Trader, delivering streaming market commentary into thinkorswim's Sweet Suite. Shadow Trader is the latest in a series of groundbreaking technology enhancements available to retail traders through the thinkorswim trading software. Supported by thinkorswim's market strategy team and new Chief Market Technician, Peter Reznicek, Shadow Trader delivers live market analysis of sector trends and individual stock performance. Designed to round out thinkorswim's option oriented education facilities, this new 'free' content offers explanations and applications of technical indicators and market internals such as volatility divergences and contrarian sentiment indicators. "thinkorswim has always pushed the industry to places where other firms have had neither the inclination nor the technological know-how to go," said thinkorswim's CEO, Tom Sosnoff. "Peter is both a lively commentator and an insightful market technician. We love the way he reaches out to a broad range of clients." Shadow Trader is broadcast live through the thinkorswim software over a dedicated audio network that does not impinge on data or order execution speed. As part of the new release, thinkorswim has enhanced its top-ranked product suite with the introduction of its new web-based trading platform. The new web-software is the latest incarnation of thinkorswim's focus on delivering the best trading technology in a client-friendly user interface. Using an asynchronous solution of JavaScript and XML known as AJAX, the new thinkorswim live and paper trading applications offer customers a unique set of trading tools and execution speed. This is the first retail trading application to fully utilize this type of Ajax technology. thinkorswim's product development guru, Tom Preston explained, "The platform leverages the processing power of thinkorswim's web servers to eliminate the cumbersome page refreshing and endless page scrolling common to other Internet-based platforms. Aside from habit, there is no reason why retail traders would stick with outdated technology." Added Sosnoff, "Online traders are hamstrung by the traditional legacy systems used by our competitors. It will no longer be sufficient to offer customers vendor dependent software or off the shelf technology for discounted commissions. thinkorswim is seeing and cultivating a new paradigm, one in which customers are migrating to superior technology."
