More than ten years ago Logical Information Machines (LIM) developed a database designed by and for traders for analyzing financial time series data, coupled with a comprehensive and deep historical database of trading market histories. It is called the Market Information Machine (MIM). Created by top scientists at Bell Labs and IBM, the MIM is generating profitable ideas at top trading desks at hedge funds, brokerage institutions, some of the best and most recognized names on Wall Street, Chicago's Loop and wherever you find traders.
MarketHistory.com began early in LIM's history as a fax service to clients - on-staff traders would use the MIM to find interesting trading ideas and a few times a week the company would fax these out to clients world wide. When the Internet gained acceptance in the early 1990s, LIM started distributing these ideas via email. Then, in 1998, LIM launched MarketHistory.com. Our mission: to empower investors of all skill levels with the unique ideas generated by the Market Information Machine, and to provide easy access to the power of the MIM with research tools which take advantage of its power and flexibility for performing Event Analysis.
We use Event Analysis to give us - and you - the answers, and the edge.
It begins with an event: a seasonal date, a technical signal, or news for a specific security, such as an earnings surprise. Rather than relying on the textbook interpretation of an indicator we let history be our guide to how each individual stock, commodity, or currency market responds to an event or combination of events.
The Market Information Machine software allows quick and easy execution of sophisticated queries regarding historical commodity, equity, bond and economic data. MIM enables rapid testing of trading rules with simultaneously added date and time conditions, as well as fundamental factors.
The MIM's ability to dynamically view these different events according to the factors surrounding them is the essence of Event Analysis. After we distill all the relevant information, the result is trading ideas that have a high historical probability of success.
