A computing research student from Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga has launched a website to take some complexity out of playing the stock market. PhD student Mr Adrian Letchford is donating all the profits from his online stock charting application to polio vaccination programs through Rotary International. “I hope to raise enough money to vaccinate a million children against this horrible disease,” he said. Using information supplied by American company EODData, Mr Letchford’s website allows people to check the performance of their investments by giving current stock values and helping analyse those prices. Currently undertaking his PhD titled Filtering Stock Prices through CSU’s School of Computing and Mathematics, Mr Letchford hopes to incorporate this research with his online business venture. “As more people move towards managing their own investments, they need simple but powerful tools to help them make the right decisions,” Mr Letchford said.  “My research uses mathematics and computers to make stock prices easier to understand and forecast.”
