New York: NeuroShell Trader picked up the top honor for artificial intelligence trading software for the fifth consecutive year during the Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities magazine's 2007 Readers' Choice awards ceremony held at the International Traders Expo in New York City. Steve Ward, CEO, and Marge Sherald, COO, accepted the award Saturday evening, February 17, 2007.

Steve Ward thanked all of the Ward Systems Group customers for making this unprecedented award a reality. "It really is you, our user, who has won this award. Yes, we built the software, but it was our users who guided what we did, tested our new features, and helped us get out our new Release 5.0. So we thank you sincerely."

Ward also offered his thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Yes, the Governor of California. In his second Terminator movie, Arnold, the robot, was asked, 'Can you do things you weren't programmed to do? You know, so you can act human.' His reply was, 'My CPU is neural network processor - a learning machine.' With those words one of the major things we do was embedded into the popular culture."

Ward noted that Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities Magazine is the premier magazine for the business we are all in. "They have created a forum for discussion, education, and yes, advertising, which has helped to make our company successful."

Ward also thanked Trader's Expo and their sponsors for hosting this event.

"Finally I want to thank the Ward Systems Group staff, some of whom have been with me since we sold our first neural network software in 1988. They have all done a wonderful job building and supporting our software."
