What do you think, DocProc, about having TWO usernames on a single financial site?

The mind boggles, ExecLine.

Are we having what is commonly called a 'Four windows open at the same time conversation", ExecLine?

Apparently not.

Back to the drawing board.

Hmmm?

I tried a little experiment withe four postings done with two using an 'ExecLine' Log In and two logged in using 'DocProc' Log In, all four windows open on my machine at the same time.

If you have two username identities on here, it would seem you have to 'Log In' (A) and 'Log Out' (A) and then 'Log In' (B) once again to make a posting with a change of your username identity.

MoneyAM does link the two usernames together and will only allow one username to be used at a time. It doesn't semm as though it is posssible to have a 'conversation' with yourself unless you log in and out and in and out, etc, etc.

I do think this is a bit 'wierd' and I don't think it is entirely satisfactory. Albeit, it will make the MoneyAM subscriber figures look great. Ah well.

Why would you want to be logged in under two users names and have a conversation with yourself anyway? Thought that was reserved was the loonies over on ADVFN.

Well, there are going to be users over here with two usernames now for sure.

Probably there always were. Probably, because users post under a nickname, rather than with a real name, it isn't preventable.

Isaacs, I don't and wouldn't want to do as you suggest and post as a loonie. Nevertheless, I do have strong curiosity and merely wanted to test things out for myself.

I do think you have to watch out for 'what and how' people post on a financial site bulletin board and do your own research into things. There are loonies on the one hand and there are crafty people with strong hidden agendas on the other.

Oh, and please 'lighten up' a bit. Your post reads a little bit like a personal attack. I don't think my stuff deserves it. It was meant to be somewhat educational as well as experimental. :-)

Ian

Anything on the MIKE thing. Someone must know???

Thanks
Rob

Sorry wasn't meant to be a personal attack and reading it again not sure it sounds like one so perhaps it is you that needs to lighten up ;-)

Anyway just couldn't see why you were so concerned about not being able to be logged in with both names. If there must be two user names (which presumably is the only way to make things work) then surely that is preferable.

Robb,

Please accept my apologies, I must confess it slipped my mind - I will try to find out and get back to you as soon as possible,

Ian

ok Ian, no worries, thanks

Robb Its a secret formulae, not; It was a test to see if we could replicate the Bollinger Optimised Synergy System using a Price/Close indicator together with a combined Price/Volume indicator.

here is the formulae

TYP:=(HIGH+LOW+CLOSE)/3;
LL:=LLV(LOW,N);
HH:=HHV(HIGH,N);
WR:TYP+(TYP-LL);
MR:TYP+(HH-LL);
SR:2*HH-LL;
WS:TYP-(HH-TYP);
MS:TYP-(HH-LL);
SS:2*LL-HH

Looks pretty!

Ha, bloody hell, thats given me some homework, wish I hadn't asked :-)

Thanks.
Rob

Isaacs & DocProc, having read both of your posts I don't think anyone had any intended malice in mind, and I read both peoples posts as interesting comments on the system that's in place.

I do think it's silly that you can't keep the same username if you could verify your existing MAM username in some way before getting your Simply Chart username.

I have an annual Sharescope sub so won't be jumping just yet. Just one question from me. I run two machines, laptop at work then desktop at home. Sharescope will now allow you to have one copy on each machine as long as one is just a backup of the other. Could I do this with Simply Chart?

"loonies on the one hand and there are crafty people with strong hidden agendas on the other."
Im Neutral on this.Im Both.
You should see my agenda! ;-)))

Sharescope's full list (stocks plus trusts plus warrants plus indices etc) total 11,700 items. Simplychart says "over 3000" which is little more than a quarter of what Sharescope cover. I know there is scope to weed out some dead wood among Sharescopes total list, but it sounds like Simplychart must have left out a lot of good stuff too. Anyone found problems with this? (Presumably someone at Sharescope will tell if I ask ;o)

Sort of "sharescope lite" ?

Sharescope has this month been apologising for pricing errors in its Hemscott feed (Hemscott's fault). What info/data feeds does Simplycharts rely on?

I have been beta testing SimplyChart for weeks now, and the quality of the price data was one of the things I monitored closely. and I think you will find that the information stream fom Comstock and LSE is pretty reliable.
Regarding the number of items on Sharescope, which I also have.... large does not always mean better. I am a keen warrant trader and much of their list is useless and out of date by as much as 4 years ... these should be weeded out! and a lot of the information is duplicated, especially on the indices.
However, this is the first release, so to speak, and if MAM waited til it was perfect it would never have been launched!
So constructive emails to Moneyam I'm sure would be appreciated, they already have my wish list of things that I would like to see added and improved!! So if there is anything in particular you would like to see in there, do let them know!
A real bonus with SimplyChart is that you only have to hit the button at the top to get the live price and the up-to-date news which is simply not available on Sharescope end of day. News is completely unimportant to me, but important to some, and Sharescope's news updates are erratic..... but the live price is very important to me...

SM

Yes. The live price is a major difference and benefit. It is enough to make me want to switch from Sharescope.

The only feature I would like sometime is the ability to export data from it to my PC to use in my own software or Excel.

From SimplyChart site:

"...During your sign up process you will be asked to choose a username. Once your purchase has been completed we will send you a randomly generated password. You will need your username and password to update your data and software.

Bonus Offer
As part of your subscription to Simply Chart you will be able to access all the live features of MoneyAM's Premier subscription level. To access MoneyAM simply use the same username and password issued to you by Simply Chart..."



Despite (or maybe because of!) the explanation given higher up this thread (about not being allowed to set up same name with Simplycharts as currently in use here at MoneyAM), I am still confused.

At present, my Moneyam sub costs me 5.88 per month (5+vat). This appears to be the same package that is thrown in for free if I subscribe 10 per month for Simplycharts instead. If I want to subscribe to Simplycharts and, via its inclusion of MoneyAM Premium access, want to continue posting here as Juzzle, do I have to first cancel my MoneyAM subscription in order to free up the Juzzle username? Or will an attempt to register with Simplycharts (as Juzzle) automatically delete my existing MoneyAM sub?
