What did Prime Try to Accomplish?

They are building a comprehensive scanning tool which can help their users make the right decisions for trade and profit.

On the backend, the system receives real-time market data feeds and pulls historic trading data for the past 2 years. Proprietary algorithms are applied to generate short lists of trading candidates for their users. On the front end, sophisticated charting and various visual & audio tools are provided to help the user make trading decisions based on the suggested list.

The software also incorporated financial news so users can get comprehensive knowledge on the tickers of their interests.
