Real-Time Quotes & Technical Analysis Over The Internet!

LiveWire Internet™ merges the capabilities, speed, and reliability of the LiveWire Professional™ with the convenience of the Internet to create a new standard for all investment software. LiveWire Internet™ gives you:

  • Real-time data on the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ, and CME, never more than one second behind the market. Other futures and options markets will be added later.
  • Unlimited number of symbols update from our servers in real-time. LiveWire servers get their data from S&P ComStock, the fastest and most accurate market data available.
  • All charts are maintained on our servers so that any time you view a graph it is filled in with current data. This means that you do not have to keep LiveWire running during market hours to keep your charts accurate and up-to-date. Over 40 technical studies can be performed on the intraday, hourly, daily, or weekly charts.
  • LiveWire's custom Internet technology can hammer through the worst Internet connections. Our proprietary client-server technology allows our service to keep up with the markets even on a 28.8k modem connection!
  • Our familiar LiveWire DOS software runs in Windows 95/98/M.E./2000.
  • There is also a new LiveWire Windows client called LiveWire Advisor™, that has quote screens, charts, tech analysis, and displays the results of powerful real-time custom filters.
  • LiveWire Internet offers over 70 real-time filters that inform you within seconds when significant profit opportunities appear-- often well in advance of even the most sophisticated traders!

LiveWire Internet™ lets you stay on top of your investment, in real-time, from anywhere using the Internet.

How LiveWire Internet Works
LiveWire Internet™ was designed with one main goal: to provide the fastest and most reliable real-time data over the Internet. To realize this goal, we developed a custom UDP (User Datagram Protocol) communication system.

UDP is a simple, single packet protocol that is the basis of most high performance Internet applications such as RealAudio. High performance applications use UDP because it does not require the overhead of establishing connections and retransmission of lost packets, like the streaming protocol TCP. This allows LiveWire Internet™ to work over networks with slow ping delay or large packet loss.

Even the fastest Internet servers get bogged down when peak loads exceed capacity, requested packets are dropped, and re-requests start to avalanche. Unfortunately, this usually happens when there is a crisis in the market and everyone wants their data at the same time. Unlike streaming Internet quote providers that use TCP, LiveWire UDP-based servers do not avalanche and will never be a bottle neck.

Client/Server is Better Than Streaming
LiveWire Internet™ is not just a data-feed patch to the Internet, using streaming quotes on a limited set of symbols. Streaming quotes require strict data integrity and fail miserably on noisy or slow Internet connections. As the number of transactions in the markets grow, it will become harder for streaming Internet quote services to distribute true tick-by-tick data to their customers.

In contrast, LiveWire Internet™ is a true Client/Server application. The LiveWire Client runs on your computer, requesting data updates from the LiveWire Servers running at CableSoft. Because the screen you are viewing is updated using one UDP packet, it takes much less Internet bandwidth to keep your screen current. In addition, Internet packet continuity is not required. If a packet is dropped, it is ignored, and the next packet transmission gets the screen data for you. With LiveWire Internet™, we maintain the best possible data on our Servers using a dedicated, high speed connection to S&P Comstock. You then view any collected data on our Servers using an Internet connection.

The Client /Server model of LiveWire Internet™ allows you to track an unlimited number of symbols. Since only the symbols you are viewing are updating, adding more symbols to LiveWire does not increase the amount of data needed over the Internet.

This design also improves reliability. Many customers have a hard time maintaining computer reliability needed to collect chart data using a data-feed. This is no longer a problem. The LiveWire Servers running in our office are rock solid reliable. Whenever you log in from anywhere in the world, your charts are refreshed and up to date. There are no holes, and the charts are split-adjusted automatically.

The LiveWire Servers are the fastest and most reliable in the industry because they are running in DOS. Each Server is designed to handle over 2000 simultaneous users. If any Server goes down, the LiveWire Client automatically switches to the next best Server.

Easy to Install, Easy to Use
The LiveWire Internet™ Client is easy to install by clicking an icon on our Website to download one small install file. Next, run the install program in Windows to install LiveWire Internet™ and create an Icon on your desktop. This procedure will install a fresh LiveWire or update an existing LiveWire System.

Now, whenever you are connected to the Internet, you can run LiveWire and get real-time data as if you were connected directly to the ComStock data-feed. LiveWire Internet™ has the same functions you are already familiar with in the LiveWire Professional.

LiveWire Internet Saves Time and Money
LiveWire Internet™ saves you time because you no longer have to maintain your history charts on a dedicated computer that runs continuously. This also frees up your computer resources for other tasks.

LiveWire Internet™ saves you money because the Client / Server design reduces the bandwidth needed to transmit real-time data to your computer by a factor of ten. This savings in bandwidth translates into reduced cost for data transmission allowing us to charge you only $79 per month for real-time data.

Freedom To Go Anywhere
LiveWire Internet™ frees your computer from being tied to a satellite or cable receiver. Now, you can take LiveWire with you on the road and get your data over the Internet anywhere in the world.

DataNet Over The Internet
If you subscribe to LiveWire Internet, you no longer need to use our modem historical data service called DataNet. If you only need end-of-day hourly, daily, and weekly historical data, now you can subscribe to LiveWire Internet™'s end of day service for only $25 per month and get better data faster and easier than ever before. LiveWire Internet™ gives you all the chart data you want in a matter of seconds.

LiveWire Internet™ Software Is Free
If you subscribe to LiveWire Internet™, you can download the LiveWire Client software free of charge at any time. There are no copy protection keys for the Internet version of LiveWire. This means that you can take LiveWire anywhere on any computer and have real-time data using your LiveWire Internet™ account.

LiveWire Super Cluster Technology
The basis of the LiveWire Advisor's calculations are the LiveWire Traders running at CableSoft. By running in DOS, the LiveWire Trader calculates real-time equations over 100 times faster than any other system.

We have further enhanced the calculation performance by linking the LiveWire Traders into a Super Cluster of Servers to spread the calculations across an array of networked computers. The resulting calculation performance in our office is more than any one computer system could ever expect to achieve. We have virtually unlimited calculation potential limited by only the number of servers that we can attach to our network.

It is our goal at CableSoft, Inc. to provide you with the results of the best real-time market indicators. We have created the server technology to calculate any market equation in real time. Now, we are refining the equations of our authors to produce meaningful market indicators.

$79 per Month for Real-Time
The LiveWire Internet™ data service is being offered at an introductory rate of $79 per month plus exchange fees for users who pay for six months in advance. This is a tremendous savings over traditional data-feed services. If at any time during the six months you decide to cancel your subscription, your charges will be prorated to the next month at the standard month-to-month rate of $99 per month. The NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ exchange fees are $4 per month for nonprofessionals, and $177.45 per month for professionals. Quotes from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) are available for a $60/month exchange fee (CME e-mini quotes are available for only $10 per month exchange fee). For your convenience, LiveWire Internet subscriptions are automatically extended at the end of each subscription period to insure continuity of service.

$25 per Month For End of Day
We are also offering an end of day service that allows you to update your charts when the market is closed. Our end of day service has hourly, daily, and weekly charts. End of day service is only available after market hours and requires a six month commitment of $150. Intra-day are only available to real-time users.

Futures / Options
LiveWire Internet offers real-time data on the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ, and the CME. This includes Indexes and Mutual Funds. Other futures and options markets, such as the CBOT and Options Reporting Authority (OPRA) will be coming soon. If you would like to be notified when LiveWire Internet offers data on additional futures or commodities exchanges, please e-mail us at techsupport@livewire-cablesoft.com.

$129 per Month For LiveWire Multi-Monitor
You may have heard of our new version of LiveWire called LiveWire Multi-Monitor. LiveWire Multi-Monitor allows you to view the market on up to six different monitors plugged into one computer using standard PCI VGA cards. Each monitor works like an independent version of LiveWire, updating in real-time. You can set up each screen the way you want and then toggle to the next monitor using the shift-tab keystroke combination. An exclusive LiveWire feature allows you to synchronize monitors so that when you change symbols on one monitor, the symbol changes on the other monitors. LiveWire Multi-Monitor runs only in DOS. To connect LiveWire Multi-Monitor to the Internet, you must run in DOS on an EtherNet network using a DSL or Cable Modem router. Updating multiple monitors requires more data transfer and therefore we charge a little more per month for its use. Many customers have expressed to us their great satisfaction with the LiveWire Multi-Monitor because they have a much bigger view of what is going on in the market.

How To Subscribe
