Need help! How to name my business?

### Dear All,
Today I write a blog post because I need your help! My own business is now online for more than 3 month and I still have not yet a name for it. I read tonnes of good articles on the net but I still have no idea and the longer I think the more I become annoyed about this open point on my to do list.
So I hope there are some creative marketing people out there who help me to find or create a nice memorable name for my business. The winner will get the Steem Dollars of this post*.

### What is the business about?
I developed some Expert Advisors (EAs) for MetaTrader. MetaTrader is a Software for trading financial products like stocks, currencies, futures and CFDs (Contract for Difference). Electronic Advisors are robots that can be plugged in to MetaTrader to automate the trading. I've implemented two trading strategies which I sell now trough my website http://www.lenk-online.com/en/.
Completely confused? Have a look at [Wikipedia]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetaTrader_4).
### How did the current name "The kicking Code" evolve?
In 2008 I was in Canada in a skiing resort called "Kicking Horse Resort". My brother an me spend some wonderful days the with skiing and Skidoo riding. Specially the Skidoo was great fun as we never did it before.

When returning home I got a new WiFi Router which I called "The Kicking Horse Hotspot". This Name stayed until today. And when creating the website for my business it was very late. So the name became "The Kicking Code". But why "Code"? Because software is created from source code. I think the name is memorable but quiet nerdy.
So I'm excited to get some proposals from you guys!

*The winner will get the 50% of the Steam Dollars which will be displayed after the 7 days, but maximum 100 Steam Dollars.

Naming a business is a small part of the life cycle of your adventure. After three years, aren't you concerned with your SEO and traffic? Or do you gain business via other methods such as advertising?

Thank you for the topic. I am in the process of developing articles and tools to help the great business folks that I am finding on Steemit.

You can find the first ever Chamber of Commerce on the blockchain @chambercommerce

And as far as a name...I do enjoy helping so...You will hear from me in a few days.

And as far as trading and cryptocurrencies you should look @satchmo and @acidyo -- they kick butt in these areas.

Thansk for your hints. I did not yet think about SEO  or advertising as the main traffic comes trough the website www.talking-business.de of the business partner who invented the trading strategy , and promotes it to Brokers.

Thanks. Sounds nice. Like kickstarter. Unfortunately the .com domain is already occupied.

I think you should name it anything except 'the kicking code'.  That's one godawful name.  What about something like 'Codeter'? Or you can get 'kick.services' for $2.50 on Godaddy.
