CISCO plays a dual role in trader's lives. First, we are a research organization with more FREE educational material than is found anywhere else. We are a research institute, openly sharing our findings. We also offer inexpensive educational courses for traders.

Secondly, we are a sophisticated data source for active traders. Our research tells us that following value and value change offers the best path for trader success. We create the necessary trading data, both intra-day and end-of-day.
We have actively participated in the revolution that has taken market analysis from technical indicators (price based) to value based trading.  Value is the fundamental variable in market understanding and trading.  Value analysis began in 1985 with the Market Profile studies of Peter Steidlmayer. We developed Auction Market Theory in 2002, putting auction analysis on a firm theoretical footing.

In the day timeframe, the CMaPS intra-day Meta-Profile provides intra-day trading information on current value, on market direction and on rate of change of value. Advice Engine and Decision Table rank prospective trades according to their potential.

How does the recent volatility compare with a longer term average? Questions of these sorts can be answered. Tables of a number of market variables for up to 90 days back are in the Free Stuff section.
