Panel  Overview

NexTrend, Inc.* was organized to develop and market a portfolio of integrated financial services over the Internet and through virtual private networks. These online services fall into four categories: online (E-DATSM) Electronic Direct Access trading, real-time market analysis, educational services, and (C.A.T.S.SM) Computer assisted Trading Tools.

In addition to offering premier trading and analysis services, and investor education, NexTrend focuses on investor understanding of the psychology of markets as a key to investment success.

NexTrend’s principals intend to target serious investors, whether they be professionals or non-professionals. This elite group comprises the top tier of investors and traders, and small-to-mid-sized brokers and investment advisors. This target market stands out because these investors have a spirit of independence, a strong need for control over their investments, and extreme pride in their ability to manage investments.

NexTrend’s principals have been leaders in serving serious investors since the 1970s. The company’s products and services are based on more than 130 years of top level management experience.

NexTrend offers three levels of premier but low-cost service. The services offered on the three levels include:

• Electronic Direct Access Trading (E-DAT SM ); the most advanced quotation and analytical software available on  the Internet for real-time market analysis; educational programs to enhance investor mastery of trading techniques and psychology for analysts, traders and investors; direct data feeds from domestic and international exchanges and financial news sources;

• Computer Assisted Trading Strategies (C.A.T.S.SM );

• a proprietary high-performance electronic trading network  (ECN).

The presentation by Mark S. Cherlin, NexTrend’s president and co-founder, will focus on the challenges facing the company as it carves out a new niche in the investor services marketplace.
