Corporate FAQ


1. Who is Recognia?
 

Recognia is an industry leader in automated chart pattern recognition. Our proprietary pattern recognition technology is capable of recognizing patterns in the price charts of any publicly traded financial instrument including stocks, bonds, funds, commodities, currencies and indexes. These chart patterns are known to indicate trading opportunities See our Reference Materials to learn more about chart pattern recognition. The depth and accuracy of information we provide — its content, quality and quantity — is only available from Recognia. Recognia generates content in-house and licenses it to financial portals, online brokerages and other financial institutions. Click here for a list of Recognia's partners.

2. What makes Recognia unique?
 

Three principles are the bedrock of Recognia success: scientific credibility (both mathematical and financial), knowledge of customer requirements, and advanced computer processes that enable complex data modeling to be done on a vast scale. We find more patterns, faster than any other process and we provide the flexibility to allow you to deploy these patterns to your customers in the manner that creates the most value for you and your customers.

3. Are you aware of any other organization that provides a service such as Recognia on the entire suite of stocks and deploying it in this manner?
  No. We are aware of dedicated, usually desktop tools, which provide limited pattern identification. We are also aware of some organizations that identify patterns in major stocks and provide those as a service to selected customers, but we are not aware of any organization that can provide comparable volume, speed and flexibility of pattern recognition and deployment. In addition, we are not aware of any organization that is identifying patterns and then providing them to major financial web sites for the use by their customers.

4. Is the company selling a product license or an information service?
  The company is selling an information service. Recognia customers (financial portals and online brokerages) retrieve the information through the Recognia API. Recognia also provides a Hosted Website service which facilitates the deployment of Recognia chart patterns by making available pre-built web pages, hosted by Recognia and branded for your company.

5. What is Recognia doing that is better than the solutions already available?
 

Recognia has automated the discovery, identification and annotations of patterns in all stock and commodity markets. This ability has not previously been available and was a task that previously had to be performed manually. As such, it was humanly impossible to monitor all stocks and all commodities on a continual basis. Typically, analysts and investors would focus on a few stocks and monitor them manually on an infrequent basis.

Discussions with professional analysts indicate that they are capable of monitoring 50 to 75 charts per day. The Recognia system currently scans over 16,000 per day and this number is continually increasing as additional exchanges are added.

In addition, as patterns are discovered and annotated the results are permanently stored in Recognia's database. This permits sites to private label this database and provide their users with historical comparisons of patterns for evaluation of past performance. This is a capability that has not previously existed.

6. What markets does Recognia monitor?
 

Recognia currently monitors the stocks, currencies and indices in following markets. Additional instrument types and exchanges may be added as required.

  • New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
  • NASDAQ
  • American Exchange (AMEX)
  • Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX)
  • TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V)
  • London Stock Exchange (LSE)
  • Indexes related to the listed exchanges
  • Foreign Exchange (Forex)
  • International Money Market (IMM)
7. How often do you scan the markets?
  Every security from each exchange is reviewed after the close of each trading day. All recognition is performed at that time and all of the found patterns are placed in a database for retrieval.

8. Do you offer real time patterns?
  At this time Recognia does not offer real time patterns. However, this will be a future product offering.

9. Can I trade online at this site?
  Recognia does not provide an online trading service. Rather we provide our information as a service to other sites who do have online trading as a feature.

10. When is the pattern information available?
  The pattern recognition process is completed around midnight to ensure that the information is available before the open of the next day's trading.

11. Can my website syndicate the content contained in the Recognia database?
 

Yes. Please contact us to discuss your needs further.

12. How do I reach you to submit a suggestion, report a problem or receive further help?
  We value your opinion and welcome your feedback. To submit a suggestion, comment, or a problem please email: info@recognia.com.
