Then and Now with Tim Slater by J. Gopalakrishnan & B. Faber

Before there was TradeStation, before there was MetaStock and eSignal, there was CompuTrac, one of the first technical analysis software programs ever written for a personal computer. The software could process technical analysis on stocks, futures, and fixed-income products. Tim Slater, the founder of CompuTrac Inc., wanted to chart his stocks, but discovered he didn’t have the patience. He found someone who did — and even he was surprised at what happened after that. In 1979 CompuTrac the company built the first set of software to do technical analysis online, real-time, presaging the coming era of the individual trader.
