Fresh from the West Coast and a great ski trip in Vail CO, it’s time to head east and get to NYC for the annual Traders Expo at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.

Last year’s event featured a great presentation by one of our customers-turned-evangelists, Dave Mabe of StockTickr fame. Here is Dave himself talking about his presentation: http://blog.stocktickr.com/2008/02/08/presentation-on-automation-at-traders-expo/

This year there are even more presenters who will directly or indirectly discuss how Trade-Ideas powers their idea generation and market scanning capabilities:

• Greg Capra, Pristine (Expo schedule)
• Oliver Velez, VCM (Expo schedule)
• Todd Slawson, Scottrade (Expo schedule)
• Folks at AcquireMedia (Booth info)

I’m looking forward to catching up with many at the Expo and around town.  I’ll be particularly interested in seeing:

• Michael Bellafiore, SMB Capital (wine buddy and Trade-Ideas fan) (Expo schedule)
• Brian Shannon – whose book, Technical Analysis: Using Multiple Timeframes, is my current read (Expo schedule)
• Andrew Actman, Lightspeed Trading (Expo schedule)

Around town I’m drinking with old and new faces.  This includes Aaron Task from Yahoo’s Tech Ticker – (if you’re not watching this daily, you’re missing great perspective on the financial markets in a tight, quick package) as well as the guys from StockTwits.

If you are in the area, dear reader, leave a comment or Twitter me and let’s meet up. We take these offers seriously. 

UPDATE: Come to the Stocktwits meetup Sat., 2/21/2009 5pm @ NY Trader Expo, Marriott Marquis Atrium Lounge RSVP @JasonRaznick (on Twitter) you can come!
