Omega Research is a provider of real-time investment analysis software for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The Company's principal products are TRADESTATION, OPTIONSTATION and SUPERCHARTS. With the 1991 release of its flagship product, TRADESTATION, Omega Research pioneered the concept of utilizing the power of the personal computer to enable investors to historically test the profitability of their own investment and trading strategies and then computer-automate those strategies to generate real-time buy and sell signals. OPTIONSTATION enables investors who are not options experts or mathematicians to benefit from advanced stock, index and futures options trading strategies, and SUPERCHARTS provides investors with state-of-the-art technical analysis capabilities. The Company designs its products as PLATFORM APPLICATIONS: unique software applications that also serve as platforms for independent third-party solutions. Over 150 independent developers have developed software products for the Omega Research Platform.
