Marketing plans are evolving. Here's the latest from a recent Email exchange.
Dear Hans,
I am a current subscriber to your daily fax service and have been for over a year. On Friday night, you sent a page with your daily fax that showed SP3.XGO on an intraday basis. I must say the accuracy was very good for that particular day.
Would it be possible for you to fax me several of your past charts so that I may see a more representative sample of your intraday charts? Please furnish the price of this additional service also.
Many thanks.
The reply was:
Dear xxx,
Thanks for your comments on SP.IXGO. It is a major improvement in my technology. I have dropped the neural net on the daily faxout, and am now just putting the SP.IXGO on. This simplifies things. So you are now getting SP.IXGO in chart form.
I also offer SP.IXGO as a separate data service. It is possible to compute SP.IXGO for any time in the future (incredible but true), so I can provide the data 3 months in advance. It will be mailed out quarterly on 3.5 inch floppies, or sent via encrytped email.
To use it, you need a trading program that can overlay the forecast. This can be done in Ensign, Dynamic Trader, Trade Station (has some limitations - can't see the future on the screen), and my own Chaos Trader Real Time. I can provide ASCII data files for all of these.
I am just getting the marketing set up. The data service will be $360 per quarter, limited to 120 subscribers. I will also offer it on a "pay per view" basis on the Internet once we get the web server put together.
I am currently working on a tutorial on how to use the online overlay method. I plan to put it on the Web so traders can see it in action. To attract attention to my web site I will probably offer "Friday's are Free" until I fill the subscription quota. On Fridays I also plan to display my trading screen live on the Web with about 15 minute updates. This should help the marketing and help users, too.
I'll fax you several days of SP.IXGO
Thank you for your business and for your interest in my work.
Happy Trading,
Hans
