Vocus Announces Winter ’11 Release

Vocus Announces Winter ’11 Release













Vocus Social Media Monitoring Module


Lanham, MD (PRWEB) December 15, 2010

Vocus (NASDAQ: VOCS), a leading provider of cloud-based software for public relations and marketing, announced today the roll out of the Winter ‘11 product release for the Vocus platform. Winter ‘11 includes a series of enhancements that simplify the process of setting-up and filtering content from news and social media monitoring searches. The enhancements also include updates to analytics and added the new PRWeb content creation tool into the Vocus platform.

“One of our primary goals with Winter ’11 is to help our customers do more with the social media and news content that’s available to them,” said Phil Braden, vice president of Product Management with Vocus. “We’ve made search and analytics easier for beginners while at the same time adding new options for advanced users. We’ve also improved the distribution interface, to make it easier for our customers to get their news content directly to consumers, journalists and influencers.”

Key features of Vocus Winter ‘11 edition include:


    Simplified news and social searches. Monitoring searches are easier to set-up and clutter-free. The simplified search allows users to more easily define what topics they wish to monitor and also, which topics they’d like to exclude. In addition, users can also preview a sample of the search results prior to saving the search by testing the results against a 30 day archive.

    On-screen filtering. The new on-screen filtering enables customers to filter results in a similar way a user would filter results on a high-quality online shopping site – only instead of filtering by brand or price range, users can filter by date, outlet type, origin and news type. This option also allows users to filter results based on keyword searches and easily transition between multiple sets of keyword searches. News and social mentions can be easily aggregated and automatically forwarded to colleagues and clients keeping them informed of the latest news and social chatter.

    Customizable analytics dashboards. Vocus offers customers an array of analytics charts to understand volume, tone and origin of news and social mentions about their organization, or their competitors. Enhancements to Vocus analytics provide users with an improved ability to customize their dashboard for reporting results to senior executives or clients. The individual charts can be adjusted with a “drag and drop” feature and configured to display at a customizable size.

    PRWeb distribution enhancements. Vocus has updated the online news release creation tool within the Vocus platform to build on the user experience previously only available on PRWeb.com. The improved look and feel provides a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is what-you-get) interface that allows users to see how their release will look during the process of creating or editing a news release. The improvements also allow users to store images for reuse, make it easier to include hyperlinks in the copy of a news release, and provide for improved distribution targeting by geography and subjects.

“On-screen filtering makes my searches and the process of searching more efficient, which saves me time,” said Crystal Smith, senior consultant, Integrated Media for Public Relations for Syracuse-based Strategic Communications, LLC. “The changes Vocus is rolling out are expediting my work and making it easier and faster to do my job – while still getting it done right.”

Vocus Winter ’11 includes enhancements to both its social media monitoring module and other key functional areas of the software, including media relations, news monitoring, analytics and distribution. In combination this suite provides the industry with the first comprehensive platform that allows PR and marketing professionals to share content and build relationships with journalists, bloggers, consumers and other key influencers. More than 7,000 customers used Vocus software today, and including PRWeb customers, the company counts more than 30,000 customers worldwide.

Leverate’s Head of Dealing, Ania Paus, comments:

“Leverate’s Live Data Feed has always been known for protecting brokers from scalpers and arbitragers. Now that we have developed ‘Spike Protection’ as part of our FMS offering, brokers can further guard themselves and take even more control over their businesses than they could in the past.

Press Release: Merk Hard Currency Fund is Top Ranked by AAII

Press Release: Merk Hard Currency Fund is Top Ranked by AAII










Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) March 30, 2011

Merk Investments LLC, manager of Merk Funds℠, announced today that the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) identified the Merk Hard Currency Fund℠ (MERKX) as the top-performing fund among the seven, no-load or low-load, mutual funds in the International Bond: Currency category. This was based on total returns as published by Morningstar* over the past five years and researched by AAII. The results appear in the March 2011 issue of the AAII Journal.

“Currencies provide international opportunities while mitigating credit and interest risk associated with bonds,” explains Axel Merk, President and CIO of Merk Investments. “Concerns about the U.S. dollar, a bond bubble and inflationary pressures have certainly helped investors embrace currencies,” continues Merk.

According to a Merk Investments survey,** the average investment adviser allocates 4-6% of their clients’ portfolios to currencies. “Thanks to their low correlation with traditional asset classes, currency investments may help ‘crack the code’, by potentially increasing portfolio returns while reducing volatility, i.e. risk. We foresee that more investors will make currencies a permanent part of their asset allocation in 2011,” according to Peter Moeller, Director of Distribution at Merk.

Merk Investments, with $ 600 million in assets under management, is the largest mutual fund company focusing exclusively on currencies. The Merk Funds are a suite of transparent no-load currency mutual funds that do not typically employ leverage, consisting of: the Merk Hard Currency Fund℠ (MERKX), the Merk Asian Currency Fund® (MEAFX), and the Merk Absolute Return Currency Fund® (MABFX). The Merk Funds provide investors with the opportunity to add managed currency exposure to their portfolios, which may provide valuable diversification benefits.

Merk Investments, the manager of the Merk Funds, will be sharing its investment outlook during the Merk Funds’ quarterly webinar scheduled for Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 at 4:00 pm ET. Please refer to http://www.merkfunds.com for details and registration.

Stocks Futures and Forex Traders Anticipate Release of New M4 Trading Platform for High Frequency Trading

Stocks Futures and Forex Traders Anticipate Release of New M4 Trading Platform for High Frequency Trading











Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) June 14, 2010

Modulus Financial Engineering, Inc. (ModulusFE), a leading provider of financial software and hardware technology for professional traders and financial institutions, today announced the Q3 2010 release of the award-winning M4 Trading Platform for stocks, futures and forex traders.

The anticipated new M4 trading platform features include an Automated High Frequency Trading (HFT) System, Artificial Intelligence Expert Advisors, a patent-pending “Scam Trade Radar” for HFT Systems, Technical Analysis Consensus Reports and a new “Trade off the Chart” mechanism integrated into the Modulus StockChartX charting component.

“The Modulus M4 Trading Platform is similar to other popular trading applications that professional traders have been using for years. Our software offers all of the same features and more, however the key difference is that we offer complete source code for the software so that professional traders and financial institutions can make the necessary changes required to meet their needs.”, says Richard Gardner, CEO of Modulus Financial Engineering, Inc.

Mr. Gardner adds “Trading systems that have been developed to target closed-source platforms is extremely risky for professional traders and investment firms. A trading system could be crippled should one of the software suppliers go out of business or should their servers be shut down. Our commercially supported open source code enables trading firms to avoid this risk.”

The M4 High Frequency Trading System allows traders to create completely automated, dynamic trading systems that execute in only a matter of milliseconds.

Mr. Gardner adds “High Frequency Trading Systems are like vacuum cleaners. They suck nickels and dimes off the market floor all day long.”

By some estimates, trading software algorithms now trigger 70 percent of all trades in U.S. equities.

The company also provides extensive technical support, product updates and outsourced customization services to professional traders and financial institutions worldwide.

Make Money OnlineAnchor Baby Movie Partners with Distrify for Online Video On Demand Release December 23

Anchor Baby Movie Partners with Distrify for Online Video On Demand Release December 23













Anchor Baby Flyer 2


Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) December 16, 2011

Alpha Galore films, the production company of the 2012 BAFTA shortlisted and multiple award winning film, Anchor Baby has teamed up with Distrify to release the movie via online Video On Demand starting December 23. Anchor Baby will be available for anyone to rent and watch online in premium HD quality for $ 4.99. VOD rental customers will be able to watch Anchor Baby on any PC or Mac computer, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and any other mobile device connected to the Internet. One will also have access to watch the rented movie 5 times within 30 days.

Anchor Baby is an emotionally charged tale of an illegal immigrant couple from Nigeria. Pregnant Joyce (Omoni Oboli) and Paul Unanga (Sam Sarpong) are on the run from the U.S. Immigration, desperately hoping Joyce will give birth in the U.S. so their child can become an American Citizen. The movie is starring award winning Nigerian Nollywood actress, Omoni Oboli  who has won three “Best Actress” awards at various film festivals around the world for her astonishing performance as Joyce Unanga. The movie also stars Hollywood based actor Sam Sarpong and Canadian actress/singer Terri Oliver. The debut film is written, directed and produced by Lonzo Nzekwe. Anchor Baby is one of the best films ever made by an African, which sheds light on the struggles of immigrants in the United States and other parts of the world. The movie has had successful theatrical releases in the U.S, Canada, Africa and United Kingdom. It was in the UK cinemas for a total of seven weeks.

The most exciting thing about the filmmaker using Distrify as a movie distribution tool is that it allows the fans or anyone with a Facebook page, twitter and blog website to embed the Anchor Baby video player on their site and earn 10% commission on all online sales generated when someone rents or buys the DVD through their embedded or shared link. This is a great revenue generating option for all the entertainment blog websites, Facebook page and twitter account owners out there. Click and share the movie online and get paid 10% commission for recommending a good movie to your friends. This is what we’ve have been doing for free all along, but with Distrify, one can get paid a percentage of the revenue when we share the movie video player online. Imagine writing a review on a movie online, and having the same video embedded at the bottom of the page for the readers to watch the entire movie instantly. This is a great incentive to get people to promote the film and make it go viral online. For more information on how to become an affiliate, click the share button on the Anchor Baby video player on their movie website to start sharing Anchor Baby movie now.  One can also check out the Anchor Baby Distrify webpage for more information.

According to Nzekwe who has been distributing the film Independently under his Alpha Galore films production company, “teaming up with Distrify was the best option out there to release this film to the vast majority of fans all over the world who are waiting to see the film. Not everyone will have to time to go and watch your movie at the cinemas because of so many different reasons; so we decided to get it out online. That way, people from all over the world can have access to experience this great movie, and at a very affordable price too”. He also stated that time has passed when distributors will buy independent films and pay enough money that will enable the filmmakers recoup their expenses. “I decided to take control and distribute Anchor Baby to the fans around the world because I understand how best to reach the film’s audience better than anyone else”. Talking to Lonzo Nzekwe, one will get the feeling that he is a very passionate, one-man-gang filmmaker who writes, directs, produces and also distributes his own work of art. That assumption cannot be far from the truth judging by the current buzz and work he has done on this award winning film.

From December 23, you can watch the movie on their movie website, Facebook fan page or just about anywhere you see the embedded Anchor Baby video player online.

NetPicks Set to Scale New Heights with Release of Seven Summits Trader

NetPicks Set to Scale New Heights with Release of Seven Summits Trader











Irving, TX (PRWEB) August 6, 2010

NetPicks, a well-established trade educational and system development company, announced today the much-anticipated release date of the Seven Summits Trader (SST), their most powerful trading strategy yet, which will be available to the public on August 24. The SST revolutionizes the way traders will work across multiple trading markets, including Forex, Futures, Stocks and Exchange-Traded Funds (EFT) and in multiple time frames, such as day trading or swing trading.

Designed around the concept of scaling the highest and hardest mountain peaks on each of the seven continents—a feat not unlike successful trading—the Seven Summits Trader will arm a trader with the right tools to master the seven keys to trading success, which are:

1. Multiple Markets, Multiple Timeframes

2. Dynamic Entries, Targets and Stops

3. Scale and Trail

4. Exact Trade Plans

5. Capital Preservation

6. Total Immersion Training

7. Consistent Profits

“The SST is unlike anything we’ve released before at NetPicks,” explains Troy “TJ” Noonan, co-developer of the SST. “This strategy can not only catch the smaller points and pips of profit, but with its unique ability to ‘trail,’ it can also capture extremely large wins. And since it comes from NetPicks, the SST comes standard with superb training and a customer support culture second to none in the industry.”

The SST takes full advantage of high-percentage fixed targets while also providing an opportunity to soar with a dynamic “trailing stop strategy.” And as new opportunities present themselves, the SST allows for traders to scale in and add positions. Trading, like scaling the highest summits, represents high risk, but the spirit and management approach to the SST is to get traders in a risk-free position as quickly as possible. While no one can prevent risk in trading, the SST helps traders take advantage of market movement from a safe position while still being able to profit from market price action.

“This system is designed for active traders,” says Noonan, “from beginners and intermediate to the advanced, and this system excels in a wide range of account sizes. However, it simply is not a ‘get rich quick’ system.”

In celebration of the new Seven Summits Trader, NetPicks is giving away a brand new trade tool, the Dynamic Profit Generator (DPG). The DPG is a universal trading software and calculator that ‘forces’ a market to lock-in profits in three simple steps. It can be used with the Seven Summits Trader to boost its results or even used alone or with another system as it is totally compatible with every charting platform, datafeed, or system.

Press Release: Merk Elevates Singapore Dollar to Hard Currency

Press Release: Merk Elevates Singapore Dollar to Hard Currency










Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) December 07, 2011

Merk Investments, manager of the Merk Funds, today announced that it now considers the Singapore Dollar a hard currency. While Merk has invested in the Singapore Dollar for years though the Merk Asian Currency Fund® (MEAFX), Merk may now invest in the Singapore Dollar more broadly, specifically also in the Merk Hard Currency Fund® (MERKX).

“Singapore is the new Switzerland. In an era when other central banks resort to the printing press in an ill-guided effort to remain competitive, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has shown prudence and restraint,” says Axel Merk, President and Chief Investment Officer at Merk. Singapore has a unique approach to conducting monetary policy: rather than targeting interest rates or money supply, the MAS conducts it monetary policy through a managed float regime for the Singapore dollar against a basket of currencies. “We now believe that the MAS policy is not only appropriate for Singapore’s trade based economy, but also consistent with our view of the pursuit of sound monetary policy in an increasingly unstable world,” concludes Merk.

PriceactionLab.com Announces the Release of Version 1.0 of Price Action Lab, a Software Program for Traders that Analyzes Market Price Action










New York, NY (PRWEB) September 28, 2010

PriceactionLab.com (http://www.priceactionlab.com) announces the release of version 1.0 of Price Action Lab, a software program that analyzes market price action based on user-defined performance statistics and risk/reward parameters and achieves that by searching equity, futures or forex historical daily or intraday data in a fully automated way. The program offers three main functions: a search for historical price pattern formations, a scan for newly formed price pattern formations and the calculation of the values of the p-Indicator, which is a novel and advanced indicator of short-term directional price moves. Price Action Lab presents an alternative over traditional market analysis techniques like classical chart patterns, technical indicators and price geometry analysis because it is based on the analysis of price action and the identification of price pattern formations that repeat with high statistical significance.

With the search function of Price Action Lab, users can instruct the program to search historical prices of traded financial instruments for the purpose of identifying price pattern formations that can serve as indicators of short-term or intraday price direction. After careful analysis, like a forward-test on out-of-sample data, price patterns can be used as building blocks in the development of systems for trading the equity, futures or forex markets. Price Action Lab generates the exact mathematical description of the price pattern formations it discovers and programming code for their implementation in several popular trading system development and order execution platforms. It also allows grouping the patterns into trading systems and tracking their future formations in daily timeframes. In essence, the search function of Price Action Lab is a system that discovers trading systems automatically from historical data.

The scan function of Price Action Lab allows scanning the price history of any number of securities, futures contracts or forex pairs in daily timeframes for price action formations that fulfill user-defined performance criteria. For example, the user can scan on a daily basis all stocks that make up the S&P 500 Index for the purpose of identifying high-probability setups. This function is useful to those that do not trade any particular market with trading systems but would like to explore opportunities across different markets.

Price action Lab also calculates in daily timeframes the values of the p-Indicator for any security, futures contract or forex pair based on user-defined risk/reward parameters. The p-indicator is a novel technical analysis indicator based on price action and one that, unlike traditional indicators, considers the whole price history of a security in its calculations. This indicator allows traders to get a measure of the probability of short-term directional price moves and estimate the edge and its statistical significance for long or short positions.

The algorithms used by Price Action Lab are not based on data mining, neural networks, genetic programming, pre-programmed databases of patterns or even exhaustive permutations. They are instead based on a novel and proprietary method of identifying market price action formations that have high statistical significance, which was developed by Michael Harris, a well-known trader, trading system developer and trading book and article author.

More and more traders are realizing that traditional technical analysis cannot offer a consistent edge any longer and that trading system development based on trial-and-error is a very tedious and time-consuming process that often leads to frustration and losses. Price Action Lab presents an alternative to those traditional methods for trading the markets by automatic the analysis of price action and the development of trading systems. The user of this program is not required to write any programming code, something that is required when using other popular software packages that only analyze trading systems coded in some computer language. Price Action Lab can be used by traders with no programming experience at all.
