About Us

Founded by Dr Brian Millard in 1991 as a vehicle for his books and software, Qudos Market Insight is a trading name of Qudos Publications Ltd.

Qudos Market Insight is the market-leader in technical analysis software on channels and cycles. With over 25 years of painstaking research by Brian Millard, our suite of products is simply unbeatable.

Brian Millard's landmark program, Microvest was launched in 1981 to enable readers of his first book, 'Stocks and Shares Simplified' to carry out the chart-plotting and calculations described in the book. Since then, he has published five books on stock market investment; his latest being Channels and Cycles, a Tribute to J.M.Hurst: published by Traders Press Inc. in the US in 1999. Microvest has now matured into the unique software package CCS (Channels, Cycles and Simulations).

Brian Millard is in great demand in the UK and the US as a speaker on price-prediction using channels and cycles.

Qudos is a family business with Brian's two sons installed as directors.

Dr Brian Millard BSc PhD

Brian read Chemistry at Sheffield University, later acquiring a PhD and going on to become a renowned Research Scientist with several published books and articles. His interest in technical analysis (a hobby at the time) led him to start his own venture, providing computer hardware and software in the early 1980s. Brian's defining moment was the development and launch of the landmark program, Microvest, launched back in 1981. From then, Brian continued his relentless pursuit of mathematical models to crack Channel Analysis. His painstaking research and development finally paid of with the launch of Channalyze, a revolutionary software program in the field of Channel Analysis.

Brian's dream of working with his two sons in the family business finally came to fruition as Qudos Market Insight was born.
