err question...If you try the free trial and find it all a bit too
much to cope with can you exit out before the week trial is up?
(Seriously, I know my limitations when it comes to technical stuff
and I'm a bit concerned although I am curious..)

stockbunny,

if you find it is too much for you, then you just stop clicking on the 'terminal' button. Alternatively, give us a call and we can talk you through it.

J.

stockbunny,

If you let me knwo I will downgrade you again, but if you feel that you are not getting the most out of it - please just e mail any questions to me ian@moneyam.com

Alternatively, if you struggle with it it will not affect any of the other areas of the site, so you have the option to just not use it and to just use the areas you use now.

Ian

Much thanks guys!!

Hi there, I have entered the promotional code when asked to and then logged out and logged back in. How do I access the Terminal. I have tried selecting the Terminal button at the top of the screen but that just brings up a screen titled Terminal Views with edit and delete features.

Many thanks.

SH,

YOU HAVE TO START BY CLICKING ON "CREATE NEW VIEW"
THEN IN "VIEW NAME" TYPE A NAME YOU CAM REMEMBER
NEXT CLICK ON THE DROP-DOWN ARROW UNDER "INITIAL LAYOUT"
YOU WILL SEE A SELECTION OF LAYOUTS, ESSENTIALLY THEY DESCRIBE THE NUMBER OF SECTIONS THE SCREEN WILL BE DIVIDED INTO, TRY 2 X 2 FOR EXAMPLE WHICH WILL GIVE YOU FOUR EQUAL SIZED VIEWS EACH FILLED WITH A SAMPLE SCREEN.
HAVING MADE YOUR CHOICE CLICK SAVE.
THE SCREEN WILL CHANGE GIVING A HEADING OF "VIEW" WITH YOUR VIEW NAME BELOW IT.
IF YOU CLICK ON YOUR NAME YOU WILL SEE THE FOUR SCREENS MENTIONED ABOVE.
YOU MAY THEN CHANGE THEM USING THE OPTIONS ICON.
(IN EACH MINI WINDOW THERE ARE 6 ICONS AT THE TOP RIGHT, THE OPTIONS BUTTON IS THE LEFT MOST OF THESE, CLICK ON IT TO SEE A DROP DOWN OF THE AVAILABLE DISPLAYS.
THAT IS ALL I HAVE MANAGED TO FIGURE OUT SO FAR, HOPE IT HELPS.
SC

Thankyou very much. I will give it a go tomorrow.

GoodNight.

SueHelen,

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me.

Ian

Thanks Ian. I have managed to get it up and running.

ooer missus!

I picked one of the defaults t try things out, and its showing Astra Zenica level two.
The figures are changing so fast I can't read them.
That's not a complaint. It means your level two feed is pretty hot!
Just playing at the moment, I may say more later.

This just expires after a few days right?
We don't have to cancel or be billed later DO WE?
(I have seen enough con tricks and am automatically suspicious these days)

Haha
that caught me out for a while
if you change options [like EPIC] in the menu-boxes after clicking the toolkit icon, it doesn't work. Its because I wasn't pressing return afterwards!
Not intuitive how it works as I have a homepage where the menu-boxes are instant action on selection.

Its looking good.
These are pretty professional looking tools.
I don't know if Joe Public will have the time for them, customizing his own set up.

Keep this up and you'll be pulling people away from the rival sites!
Well done.
I hope there is some cheap access to this sort of thing.

I have found a bug.
I have a Antonov share price graph in the bottom right of my screen.
Since it is a JPG or GIF or whatever, windows gives me a little graphic menu of things I can do, like save the image to disc. This menu appears on the left of the screen. However the menu cannot be used since it is not over the picture. If you move the mouse pointer-cursor towards the save-to-disc floppy image, the menus disappears when the cursor leaves the image and before the cursor can reach the menus.

So the menus are totally unusable.

Maybe a windows bug, but its the first time I've seen the menus not actually over the image it applies to.

Money am gives us paupers these free Level 2 facilities from time to time as a lure to upgrade. Keep up the good work !

Should there be a MoneyAM HOME button on Terminal header?
---------------------------------------------------------

In Internet Explorer about 1/3 of my screen is wasted.
I have
the Explorer headers: with minimize maximize and kill icons
File, edit, view, fav, ..
back, forward, stop, refresh, ...
address bar
google search, etc.
Then on this site I have
Logo and advertising
stockwatch, level 2, portfolio, ...
market scan, chart, terminal

Then useful space where one "works"

And finally, the bottom of explorer,
and the windows START, quickstart, active programs, etc.

====================================

That means the top 1/3 is often wasted.
A solution is to hit F11 and get rid of a lot of it.
This means the forward and back buttons etc disappear.

I recommend hitting F11 to use the terminal, to provide even more space, even though MoneyAM have kindly removed their header with all the link to different tools.

But I think you have gone just one step to far.
There is then no easy way back.

Should there be a MoneyAM HOME button on Terminal header?

Oops there is!
The MONEYAM logo is active where it sometimes passive, see
http://www.moneyam.com/action/terminal/showViews

Marks for functionality, but not for consistency and clarity!

I think this is when having multiply screens come into their own!

crystalclear,

Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you are finding Terminal useful.

In answer to some of your questions:

After the 7 day free trial your account will revert back to the level it was on before - there is no charge for this trial.

With regard to the windows menu, I will get out tech guys to take a look at this to see if there is anything we can do. I will also point out the logo thing you have raised.

Thanks

Ian

To get the maximum viewing area in IE.
1 Let all the windows load then hide the terminal tool bar.
2 Then press F11 on your keyboard to set IE to Full screen.

One trick that realy shows Terminal to its full advantage is the group setting feature.

In one window put your stockwatch list say list of FT100 shares and set this to group 1
Then have 4 more windows with say
1 Intraday streaming chart
2 Level 2
3 News
4 Trades

any epic will do

and again make all of those group 1

Now when you click on the Epic in your stock watch list all the other 4 windows will change to the same epic showing you a snap shot of all the important information on that share.
Click another epic in the stock watch window and again the other 4 will change to the new epic
Neat eh?
M

Very neat
I'll try it

To be honest, I spend more time on other sites due to higher BB activity.
But if you offer better service, and with things like this its looking like you will, then people should migrate over time.

As a bit of an aside, is MoneyAM floated, or private?

Level two looks so complicated. any guides to this level 2??

See if this helps

Could someone please tell me why occasionally I get a mis-match between my stockwatch and my portfolio. At the moment stockwatch is showing an increase in the price of Top tiles of 1.7%. But in my portfolio it is only showing as an increase of 0.9% on the day.

B2B

Sorry Folks

Please ignore the previous question of mine. It was obviously a time delay problem. Although changes mostly occur almost at the same time in both stockwatch and portfolio for some reason there was a 30 min gap with this one.

Cheers

You have the following views defined:-

View
MyShares
Create new view



Powered by IST's

====================

Thats the page displayed when I hit TERMINAL.
From there I select the view "MyView" and the browser opens a new window.
I don't see any value in having the new window, which may need positioning and/or resizing, compared to just using the existing window.

I tried the STOCKWATCH sub-window.

I selected Group 1 as instructed.
Autorefresh - to make sure it displayed something, as I'm learning.
Autorefresh 90s, as I may have a slow link and don't want to overload it when learning
And Mode stream, to have things updated, I assume.

I also set the watchlist to one of my watchlists.
(It seems I have created a few in the process of trying to get things to work.)

There are two things that stopped it being userfriendly to dumb people like me.

1. I didn't realise watchlist was a menu, rather than the option I needed. SO Initially it was set as its default instead of me haveing a watchlist selected.
Maybe it should default to the user's first watchlist.

2. I was changing things and nothing was happening.
T try to sort it out, I was creating more watchlists and slecting things again in the menu, saving, checking group numbers, etc.
It turned out my problem was simply an OK button which was off-screen due to a scroll bar. I hadn't seen it and never pressed it. This means all my changes were going nowhere.

So there are a few things you could improve, but it seems useable once the interface is learned or set up the way one likes it.

I had a charts subwindow and a trades subwindow. Neither had a group set and both were displaying EPIC ATV, Antonov.
The I set the charts window to Group 1 and it picked up the new EPIC CER all by itself when I hit OK. I changed the trades window to Group 1. But it stayed as ATV until I did something - not sure what, maybe refresh.

Maybe its the timing of the refresh and I got lucky with one and not the other.
I'm just saying this so you have the user freedback. I'm not griping.
This is the best software I've seen for this.
I'm impressed.
When Antonov hit 1.66 and I'm left with 1 per share after tax I'll probably become a paying customer for this.

Until then there is no point in following prices on a minute by minute basis for something I'm unlikely to sell this year!

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to try out this stuff, particularly lev 2. Terminal is clearly a useful tool, so I need to save up my pennies and maybe I can have one in the future. Worst discovery is that lev 2, and stockwatch streaming I have subsequently been told, are firewalled out at my office so even if I could afford these lovely toys, they won't work, bugger!
Thanks anyway
SC

crystal clear, thank you for the feedback - I will take a look through this and if there are any issues I will pass them to our tech boys.

Ia

Brain2brain,

Thank you for pointing this out to me, I will forward it onto Felix to see if there are any issues at our end that we need to address.

Regards

Ian

to ian t at money am........you have a task in reading all the chat comments.
