Has anyone used Visual Trader software from Nirvana Systems? Any feedback or comments would be appreciated.
My two cents - it's a cute toy but little added value. A lot like a couple VR systems that were being touted a bunch of years ago - the techies thought they were cool, but traders hated them. You can get most or all of the same info using color coded sector maps and normal quote displays. Visual "data mining" techniques have applications, but when you're trading - you want to keep it clean and simple. When you're on your way out the door and want to know whether to take an umbrella, would you rather just flip over to the weather channel and see "High:65, Low:50, Humidity: 20%, Partly Cloudy" or have to navigate your way through a global 3D weather radar map?
