ProfitCenter
Version 2.217
by John Sweeney
Obscuring one end of the STOCKS & COMMODITIES functional test group work area in its new quarters are a pair of constantly whirring IBM-compatible computers (one the datafeed and the other ProfitCenter itself) taking data off a satellite feed and stuffing it into a huge database with prices on everything from the price of the shares of the Australian-New Zealand Bank on the Bombay exchange to Tokyo International Financial Futures Exchange Eurodollar interest rate futures. If it's traded somewhere in the world, be it cash, futures or options, a number of systemsReuters, Bloomberg, Telerate or Knight-Ridderis likely to have pricing on it. ProfitCenter is Knight-Ridder's package entry in the institutional trading sweepstakes.
What Knight-Ridder offers is a turnkey package that does nearly everything with no installation or support worries. It can't replace custom in-house analytics, especially involving the arcane mathematics of probability and derivative valuation, but should you seek anything other than that it's all here for a single price:
24-hour, world-wide datafeed
Huge historical database on your desk and/or available by download
Immense variety of quote screen displays with fairly fast switching
Flexible, vivid charting
Complete array of publicly available studies
On-screen formula definition of new symbols.
While Reuters and Telerate are undoubtedly the world's leading datafeeds, they historically have provided "pages" fixed-format displays with no capability for customization. Both have been slow about using the power of the personal computer to rearrange and display data in a format that customers want. Now all the major data services are also trying to provide hardware and software to reprocess the data they sell you. Count on $1,000 to $2,000 per month per terminal for this level of service.
