November 8, 2005 - Thomson Financial Deploys Recognia Interactive

Recognia Inc. is pleased to announce that Thomson Financial has expanded their Thomson ONE desktop application to include Recognia Interactive, a suite of technical analysis and chart pattern recognition tools. Recognia Interactive makes it easier for investment professionals to uncover new trading ideas and monitor their stocks for significant changes based on technical analysis, allowing them to make more informed trading decisions.

"Today's investment professionals need to achieve results faster and more cost-effectively than ever before." says Stuart Kalman, VP Strategic Relations at Thomson Financial. "Recognia Interactive takes the manual labour out of technical analysis so that Thomson ONE users can work even more efficiently."

Users of the Thomson ONE desktop application can specify a ticker for Recognia's Technical Insight tool to pull up a summary of the current outlook for a stock from a short-term, intermediate-term and long-term technical analysis perspective. The Technical Event® Stock Screener tool allows Thomson ONE users to uncover new trading ideas by screening for stocks that have recently formed a chart pattern or some other key technical situation also known as a Recognia Technical Event. The Technical Event Alerts tool provides convenient notification of trading opportunities, thereby assisting investment professionals with their investment strategies and providing important notification about changing market situations. Finally, there is a wealth of educational material for those wanting to learn more about technical analysis.

Technical Analysis is the quantitative side of investment research, analyzing prior price changes and looking for patterns and relationships in price history to help make investment decisions. Until now investors have required extensive training and manual intervention to use technical analysis to support their investment decisions. Using advanced computer technology, Recognia has automated the process of finding, categorizing and presenting events based on technical analysis principles.

"Thomson ONE provides content in a flexible and integrated way that allows professionals to streamline their workflow and accomplish more in less time." says Rick Escher, President of Recognia. "Recognia Interactive takes full advantage of that architecture, interacting with other Thomson ONE capabilities to make it even easier for users to incorporate technical analysis into their decision making process."
