Dary McGovern, managing director of Sensatus, the developers behind timetotrade said: "When we set up our own investment club we searched for software that would enable us to manage our accounts. We wanted a solution that all club members could access, which would support UK and foreign investments, a variety of investment strategies such as long, short and option positions and manage our tax returns. There was no such software available, so we decided to develop it ourselves. It has been really exciting working with other investment clubs to develop a solution that is unique to the UK market."

To quote Liam Curtis of Slaney Slickers investment club, who has been involved in the development of the timetotrade application, "timetotrade has completely changed the way we work as a club. Keeping club members involved and informed in the day-to-day running of our investment club is a no longer a challenge. timetotrade lets club members post research, check our unit valuations and portfolio performance online without having to bother the treasurer for updated spreadsheets or reports."

DARY McGOVERN PROFILE
Dary McGovern, Managing Director and Founder of 'Sensatus', is a seasoned trader of thirteen years and a dynamic presenter on stock market investment and trading strategies. Dary began investing in his student days, during the early 90's. Since then he has learned a lot of lessons, some the hard way. Over the years Dary has developed a disciplined approach to investing that generates consistent returns, based on a combination of fundamental & technical analysis and complemented by a variety of trading strategies. Despite fine tuning his trading strategies, Dary was frustrated that he could still miss trading opportunities when away from his computer.

While away snowboarding, Dary missed another excellent trading opportunity and at that point he decided it would be the last time. With his background in software development, telecoms and the IT sector he decided to create timetotrade: a web-application that could alert investors when it is time to trade.
