ReXX
At the beginning, TradEdit has been developed for the internal use of a club of investments. The software was called ReXX as Return of eXperience (plus one X for the fun :o). ReXX has been used by the club members in 2000 and 2001. During this period, everybody had many ideas and suggestions, so software versions followed to software versions in a fertile anarchy.

At the beginning of 2002, many members had to flit and the club decided to close. ReXX was now orphan and went back to one of its first fathers : a DP engineer impassioned for technical analysis. 42 years old. But still young ;o).

After its now sole father had provided attentive cares, ReXX became a shareware and was distributed on the Web in november 2002. But the new users reaction was clear : the interface was too austere, the functions too complicated and there was no trades follow-up. In short, ReXX was clearly not "general public".

MMR
So, the interface has been completly recreated. By the way, ReXX changed its name and became MMR. As the first implemented trading methods were related to moving-averages, these venerable mammies amongst technical indicators, the project found its mascott : Mammy .

Written to guide the user, MMR integrated an alarms system and a portfolio. The users reaction was good and versions succeeded one anothers till version 1.24 in july 2003. At this time, MMR integrated the "Prices x MA", "MA x MA", MACD, CCI and Pullback trading methods and the DMI, Parabolic and Control MA filters.

But there was a problem : each trading method had to be tested alone and on a single stock... and everybody was asking for batch runs (test several methods on several stocks).

TradEdit
So the project has been recentered : portfolio removed to keep focus on trading methods, technical architecture and objects reorganized in order to support multi-scans, stocks basket added...

And a new name : MMR 1.24 became TradEdit 1.30. Certainly a better name. In any case, a more explicit name and above all more effective for search engines...

2004 will see TradEdit versions integrate
- classical trading methods (points and figures, Weinstein, DMI...)
- specific trading methods (quotes/MA gaps analysis, MA slope analysis...)
- specific scanners (gaps, japanese candlesticks figures)

Version 2 development has not been planified yet.
TradEdit development lies entirely on the software's success. TradEdit needs your support...

Nevertheless, version 2 should integrate
- trading methods with several indicators (stochastic + MACD, RSI + MACD...)
- a japanese candelsticks figures editor

At the end, TradEdit should integrate
- statistics tools for market analysis
- a trading methods editor

In fine, the project just begins...
