Matrix calculations of a list of securities over a date range allow for stock or fund rotation through a portfolio, as well as an entire new category of &quot;Market Breadth&quot; indicators, and new methods of analysis and trading.  Pikker will test your trading ideas the way you really trade... portfolio rotation of multiple securities selected from an unlimited collection of available securities.  With Pikker, now you can back-test your system on ALL of your historical securities data at once!  Test your trading system on historical data for multiple securities simultaneously.  Write and test trading systems to rank and screen securities over years of historical data.  Save hours of manual work by combining and automating two processes in a way that other trading software isn't capable of.  The result is a more accurate picture of how your proposed trading system performs in realistic conditions.  You will confidently make more profitable trading decisions.  A New Dimension In Technical Analysis.  Traditional technical analysis takes a one-dimensional view of the market, a single security over a period of time.  In Pikker, a matrix is constructed for a collection of securities over a date range.  Matrix calculations allow for Dynamic Portfolio trading.  

55 technical indicators are included (and more in the works), as well as a large number
of mathematical functions, all of which can be combined to create specific trading rules and screening criteria.

MetaStock data.  Backtest your technical trading system the way you trade -- 
a portfolio selected from a universe of available securities.  Numerous
technical indicators are included (and more in the works), as well as a large
number of mathematical functions, all of which can be combined to create 
specific trading rules and screening criteria.  Accounts can be loaded, saved,
and edited independently of system rules and settings.

obtained individual licenses for the software covering all workstations

*** VERSION NUMBERS AND UPGRADES ***

The version number is indicated on the about dialog.  The version number
is of the format M.I.NN, where &lt;M&gt; is the Major version number, &lt;I&gt; is the
Intermediate version number, and &lt;NN&gt; is the miNor version number.  For

change.  If Beta Testers wish to continue to participate in testing future 
major revision updates, the fee for the major revision change will be waived.


*** SUPPORT ***

Support will be provided for users of Pikker via email.  Requests for support
should be sent to support@emporium-sw.com.  When requesting support, you must
provide your full name, email address, and your customer ID number.
Your registered name and customer ID number can be obtained from the about
dialog from the application.  When your support request is recieved, an
incident ID number will be assigned and reported to you.  Please use this
incident ID number for further correspondence about that particular issue.
If you have additional questions, please submit a separate request so that
a new incident can be assigned.  Before contacting support please check the
following:

1)  Review your information. Read relevant portions of the manual, this readme file, and the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) file in the directory or at 
the web site.

2)  Collect your numbers. In addition to your name and customer ID, I need to 
know what version you're using. You'll find this number on the About dialog,
from the Help menu.  I'll also ask for your processor, operating system, and 
their respective version numbers.

3)  Isolate your problem to a small test case, if applicable. Short formulas are easier to understand, transmit, and verify on our systems.  Be prepared to send
any system files, error log files, and data files that may be relavent to the
problem.  Make careful note of any steps that are necessary to reproduce the
problem.


*** FEATURE REQUEST INCENTIVE UPDATES ***

You may request additional features or indicators be included in future updates
to the product.  Such requests should be sent by email to 
support@emporium-sw.com, with the same requirements outlined under &quot;Support&quot;
above.  If you are the first individual to request a specific indicator or
feature, then when and if that indicator or feature is included, you will be
entitled to have the update fee waived for the next major or intermediate 
revision update.  If you qualify for the incentive (by being the first individual
to make the request), you will be notified in response to the support incident,
and a note will be made in the support incident.  It is then your responsibility
to keep track of the incident ID number, check for the feature in future
updates, and to contact support for further instructions to have the update
fee waived.  You can check for changes on the version history section of the 
web site.  This incentive does not accumulate.  You will be qualified for, at
most, one incentive update at a time.  After the incentive update is &quot;redeemed&quot;,
you must make an additional, original request for a feature or indicator to
qualify for any additional incentive update.


*** NO WARRANTY ***

Pikker is sold &quot;as is&quot; and without any warranty as to
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose or any other
warranties either expressed  or implied.  The  author will not be liable
for data loss, damages, loss of profits or any other kind of loss while
using or misusing this software.  Hypothetical or simulated performance 
results have certain inherent limitations.  Unlike actual performance 
records, simulated results do not represent actual trading.  Also, since 
the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- 
or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, 
such as lack of liquidity.  Simulated trading programs in general are 
also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of 
hindsight.  No representation is being made that any account will, or is 
likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those indicated by this 
software.
