Technological Aid in Commodity Trading

Technological tools, software etc are making paths in to the growing investment avenue of commodity trading. Trading systems help you decide on entering and exiting trades, the crux in futures trading. As per the incorporated rules on prices and other information, the commodity trading system signals buy or sell choices.

Commodity trading systems are increasingly used by traders owing to its mechanical analysis of trading sans any human emotions and sentiments. Strategies can be framed based on your risk acceptance levels and adhering to its rules you can continue trading as per your plans. Commodity trading systems employ technical indicators viz., moving averages, RSI, stochastics etc.

Forms of Commodity Trading Systems:

The two forms are trend following and range trading. Based on the established movement of markets – either upward or downward, a trend based system determines strategies. Such system assumes that odds of prices following the past trend are high. Whereas a range based system does not follow past trends and signals you to buy the commodity at its low price range and sell it when it reaches its peak.

You can either develop a commodity trading system by yourself or buy one. Tradestation, a software program, is normally used by individual traders to develop a customized trading system. Key points to incorporate while developing are:

•  Time frame of your trade – holding your trade for couple of days, weeks or long-term. 
•  Your target commodity markets – one or more markets can be incorporated.

•  Indicators – You can choose among the numerous variables and indicators. Ex- A usual indicator in trend based system is a break above a 20-day high to trigger a buy order. 
Ensure to back test your system to check its functionality. Back testing requires you to input your trading rules and run them against historical data.

If you choose to buy a commodity trading system, pin your attention to its past performance. Usually traders evaluate hypothetical returns by using trading system however; actual returns might differ from hypothetical returns. You can also consult experienced commodity broker specializing in trading systems for commodity trading system.

To enhance your profits and for long survival in commodity trading, taking the assistance of commodity trading systems is highly recommended however, one must be aware of the risks of its irrelevance and errors.

Growth of Satellite TV

Satellite TV has become a popular concept to have a crystal clear television experience, but have we have ever wondered when did the service of Satellite TV start first……………the concept developed and evolved almost in the late 1960s. Almost forty years ago, no one had ever heard about satellite TV, but many private companies joined their hands to bring about a change in the television viewing experience. As a result they launched a series of geosynchronous satellites which is nothing but an orbit that keeps the satellite above an area of the earth directly at all times so as to transfer signal from a source to multiple stations.

HBO was the first programmer to deliver satellite programs to popular cable companies. HBO was followed by turner broadcasting system, Christian Broadcasting Network; hence the satellite television industry was thus rooted to tremendous growth. At this point of time the satellite signals were received only by the able companies but a genius professor of Stanford University formulated a way where you could receive the signals of satellite directly at his home. With this, the advent of satellite dishes started and the satellite dish invented by the professor was called as the C-band dish. The frequency received by the satellite dish was large and very effective. The honest professor sent hundred dollars to HBO for the channel programming, but the check was returned stating that they do not deal with individuals. The professor formulated a how-to guide for direct signals of satellite TV, but the initial cost was high so not many people wanted to spend money on this high quality one-time investment. The C-band dishes became quite popular in rural areas because not many cable companies operated in rural companies. The C-band dishes had potent benefits like the programming was free; it was a one time investment, crystal clear picture quality and even wide range of channel selection. However satellite televisions experienced an ever increasing popularity. As time passed by, the satellite TV service providers realized the fact that there was tremendous value for their programming which was given at zero value to the C-band dish owners. They began to claim their rights and finally the programmers were allowed to encrypt the satellite signals. After this the satellite programmers became full fledged satellite TV service providers however they encountered the problem of theft till the late 1990s.

With growth in the industry the programmers realized that they could not function well as individual satellite TV providers, so they looked in for company who were willing to be service providers. At this point the large space consuming dishes were cut down considerably in size and this was the biggest boon to the industry. New market emerged for direct broadcast satellites, the services of Primestar (cable TV companies) and Direct TV (non-cable associated companies) came into force. There was intense competition among the many service providers and hence only the strongest companies survived.

Now, there are a range of options including pay-per-view programming, music services, on-demand programming, high speed internet, PVR facilities satellite, radio and more. So enjoy the television viewing experience in style with amazing quality.

Wireless in Local Loop [WLL] Emerging Technology

Reasons of Using WLL

Any service provider or organization, should strive to provide high quality service in the most economic method available to end-user, the customer.

Telecommunication is no exception and therefore, it is necessary to keep abreast of Technology advancements and innovations to provide the best quality of service at lowest cost possible to the subscriber.

In the last 20-30 years, we have seen switching equipment move from manual boards, Magneto exchanges, strowger etc, to the sophisticated Electronic SPC Switches now in use, viz E-10B, OCB-283 & EWSD etc.

Transmission technology has also advanced, thus far to optical Fibre Cable, Microwave Radio, Satellites Communications etc, and is continuously developing.

The local external Network or the local loop also needs adoption of new technologies, as it is this part of Telecom Network which accounts for approximately 60% of the total cost of whole, Telecom network. By embracing newer technology in the External Plant, we can maintain a high QOS (Quality of service) and reduce the cost to the subscriber. This means we can offer “Voice and Data Communication” to a much greater percentage of the population, previously denied access (for reasons of insufficient disposable Income) to telephone, Fax and Internet Services etc.

This may be illustrated by:

The average household income in India permits affordable expenditure on Telecommunication services, apportioned across the population, as follows

 

Average Affordable expenditure on Telecomm Services

By percentage of population

Rs. 120 per month

25 %

Rs. 160 per month

15 %

Rs. 200 per month

10 %

Rs. 400 per month

5 %

Rs.1000 per month

2 %

And also, the total investment required to install a telephone with conventional Wire Line technology, is approximately Rs.30,000/- to Rs.35,000/-. Looking at the above data/figures, it is evident that cost reduction in the external plant part of Telecom Network is very much essential.

The Radio in local loop, i.e. wireless in Local Loop, if not better service, than Wire Line or Landline, but is an equivalent local loop service compared to wire line services and at lower cost.

The economics of wire line versus wireless are

The cost of installing or Maintaining Wire line systems broadly depends on the cost of Labour (Laying Ducts, digging Manholes) whereas cost of wire less depends on cost of subscriber unit, which tends to fall over time, with increasing economies of scale.

Cost of wire line is more due to use of copper a costly metal in U/G cables whereas WLL is independent of this factor.

Cost of wire line system critically depends on the distance between houses and the penetration levels achieved. These factors are not applicable in WLL.

If a subscriber moves to a different operator in case of wire line system, the investment is lost, whereas in the case of WLL, the subscriber unit in such case is simply removed and installed elsewhere.

The cost of wire line system is incurred, even prior to Marketing to the users, whereas much of the cost of WLL is not incurred until the users subscribe the Network.

The widely used WLL systems are:

corDECT WLL: This is digitally enhanced cordless Telecommunication

The standard is defined by ETSI (European Telecommunication Standard Institute).

CDMA – WLL: An American System as per IS-95.

Requirements for a Wireless Local Loop System
The WLL must provide all services supported by the wired local loop with the same or better quality.

A Wireless Local Loop (WLL) system is meant as a replacement for the traditional copper twisted-pair local loop. The WLL system is expected to provide a superior alternative to buried cable. The main purpose of the WLL system is to substitute a wired local loop for providing fixed telephone access. The WLL must, in general, provide all services supported today by the wired local loop, and also those, that are likely to emerge in the near future. Further, it must provide these with the same, or better, quality.

The requirements of a WLL system can be broadly divided into five categories: services, capacity, PSTN connectivity, cost and maintainability.

Examining Audi’s “Quattro” technology

September 12, 2010 12:00 AM

Audi, the luxury brand of German carmaker Volkswagen, is well known not only for its high-end vehicles, but for its famous “quattro” all-wheel drive (AWD) systems.

An Audi engineer working on Audi’s rally racing team noticed that an old Volkwagen army vehicle known as the Iltis could beat most of the company’s high performance machines in a race due to superior handling derived from its AWD powertrain. Using the Iltis as a basis, “quattro” was born, and Audi swept rally races for the next several years using the new technology.

Now, quattro lives on both as a branding for Audi’s AWD and in Quattro GmbH, Audi’s high-performance division dedicated to its sportiest and most exotic cars. Edmunds Inside Line recently looked at some of the landmark vehicles that made the term famous. While many of these vehicles have been discontinued, most can be found on the used car market.

It all started with the Audi Quattro Coupe, also known as the ur-Quattro. Modern technology means that this machine would likely be left in the dust by even a budget hatchback these days, but the news source reports that the steering still retains a fun feel and its easy to see how the car was once king of the rally circuit.

The Coupe was eventually replaced by the Sport Quattro, which again dominated rally races in 1984. The news source reports easy drifting and powerslides from this 1984 classic, but it would be a few years before Audi would truly refine the technology.

While the mid-nineties saw some intriguing cars using the technology, it wasn’t until Quattro GmbH kicked things into high gear in the latter parts of this decade that things got interesting again for the German automaker. In 2006, Audi released the RS4, which at that point was the pinnacle of the technology. While the cars of yesteryear certainly handled well, none of them were able to handle 414 horsepower as “with such subtlety and poise” as the RS4.

For those who want true power, the news source looked at the 2008 RS6 5.0 TFSI Avant, which packs a whopping 572 horses into a V10 engine. Although the ride is nowhere near as light and crisp as the RS4, the RS6’s sheer power, weight and size deliver a very different type of quattro experience – still able to handle the corners but also blow past most machines on the straightaway.

The latest addition to the lineup, the Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI V10, “expresses everything that Audi and Quattro GmbH have been trying to accomplish all these years,” according to the news source. With a chassis derived from the Lamborghini Gallardo combined with the signature handling of the entire line, the R8’s ride is “dumbfounding,” “sublime” and the “final proof-of-concept for the Quattro Way.”
