"Office Hours" drop-in session on Wed 25 March 12:00-12:30. We'll be showing the new AI-powered Alpha Draw

We’re excited to announce that next week we will be starting our first series of Alpha Tracker “Office Hours” sessions. We hope you can join us.

Click this link to join the session from 12:00-12:30 on Wed 25 March

To explain what “Office Hours” are (confession... most of us here at Start Software weren’t aware, either!), the term originally referred to academic help sessions in the US, where students could get personalised assistance outside of class. Our Alpha Tracker Office Hours sessions will be short, informal, half-hour drop-in sessions providing the opportunity for support, discussion, clarification, demonstration, advice – all sorts of help with any area of Alpha Tracker.

The Office Hours are live and interactive; we’ll be led by the topics you want to discuss. These are “cameras on” sessions for everyone, we’ll be on camera and so will you. To make you feel more comfortable, we won’t record the sessions.

Join Robin and Kim for the first session on Wednesday 25 March 2026 at 12:00. No need to pre-register, simply click the link between 12:00 – 12:30 on the day to join: https://whereby.com/alpha-tracker-office-hours

See you Wednesday!

The UK has been particularly hit with attacks, as this graphic shows: The UK and North America are amongst the areas seeing most hacking attempts At Start Software, we take security really  seriously and we have already checked the servers which run asbestos software Alpha Tracker , leg...
