Any time series data

C++, Assembly
Strengths
High level of integration and good user interface. Database is fast. It allows for variable interval length measurements and has an integrated contract piece. Extensive and powerful charting system including easy to configure scales, units of measurement and time. Users can compare various time spans together on the same chart, but with different axes.
Weaknesses
Lacks an automatic method for getting time series data into the database from all the various markets around the world or real-time measuring sources. Other tools under development include a Monte Carlo portfolio evaluation engine. Cut/paste among fields is being improved as is printing.
