The Market Information Machine (XMIM) is a powerful tool designed to help traders with a wide variety of tasks related to scanning financial markets for trading opportunities. 

A typical user evaluating an opportunity might follow these steps.

• observe an opportunity in the market
• model the event
• test the effect of that type event through history
• simulate trading to test risk control methods on the model
• build a notification system that alerts the trader when the event occurs

To accomplish this, XMIM has been designed with the following features:

• a large historical database which provides all the information in a single format
• simple creation of synthetic time series such as spread and indexes
• thousands of pre-defined events and patterns
• the ability to test any combination of events and patterns
• risk management testing using common trading methods
• searching and testing across markets or data fields
• filtered output of searches
• automatic execution of and reporting of queries

To facilitate use by non-programmers, there is a menuing system that guides the user through query creation.  The query language is English like, and yields statements such as:

show 5 day move of DELL when High of DELL is more than High of DELL 1 day ago

Sophisticated users appreciate the full range of the vocabulary which allows description of virtually any event from candle patterns to spread divergence to triangle breakouts.
