The Value of Our Technology
 We acknowledge that our pricing isn't bargain basement. There is a reason for that; the technology isn't run of the mill. A lot of innovative thinking, research and development, and long hours go into every unique product we sell. That said, we do price fairly; for example, Dakota's price has been set by Dakota users through surveys.

To provide you another value benchmark, we just issued our largest-ever commercial bid for a project, using the same technololgies, valued in the millions of US dollars. Of course, it is just a bid and not an awarded project, and the customer can probably pocket a lot more money than you or I trading, but it is a competitive bid against numerous others, so we have to keep it priced fairly for the work, risk and the value. Kind of like Goldilocks' porridge; not too low, not too high. Just right.

So, for what the "big boys" pay, you can use for about 1/100th of 1%. I hope you agree that seems to be a good value.

My Pet "Swarm" Achieves Another Equity High

It is a Double-Smoothed Z-Score, Median of Signals, 10 yr History, One Day Ahead... Like I said before, that is a mouthful. Maybe I should create an acronym... how about (DSZSM10YHODA). That's better! (grin). Anyway, this trading system (bot) is available to download from our forums by Dakota / Profit users and it is very easy to setup... click, click... No coding required.

And here is a screen grab of the price, signal and equity curve of the system recently. Click on the image to get a full screenshot of the Dakota "Swarm" window since June. There are some brilliant moves in there and an interesting to see correction of a misstep.


(click image to see screenshot)

This system has hypothetically "racked up" 2,942 S&P points so far over its entire history, and is making a new equity high as I type. I always cringe when I say things like that. No, I'm not really superstious but, you know...well, maybe I am... a little.

Stay tuned...
