"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 I am a keen warrant trader and much of their list is useless and out of date by as much as 4 years ...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?

Juzzle,

If a username is already taken (i.e. in your case Juzzle), it cannot then be used as a simply chart username. This is due to the 2 being seperate products.

However, on this occasion if you decide to upgrade, please E mail me and I will manually change things at this end and set the new payments for you.

Cannot update at all. when I installed, it took my email addresss as the user name (automatically) but it does not seem to like it now. I have tried changing the password in Help>Login details to no avail. Do I have to uninstall and start again?

rpaco,

When you download it, it takes your e mail address for our records, this is not a username for the product. To be able to update the product, you need to be a subscriber.

I've found that the looking at the normal charts icon on Money Am a bit slow today. Is there a reason for this?

hutchins,

I will speak to James so that he can take a look,

Ian

Thanks

hutchins,

They seem to be loading fine for me, but I will inform James just in case

Ian

Ian
Thanks again. For some reason the charts still appear to be a bit slow coming up. Sometimes it's a bit of a delay or they don't appear at all.

I had the same problem as hutchins - last couple of days - normal charts have a delay of several seconds before they appear.

Thanks M

capt M & hutchins

I will take a look at things this end, can you E mail me ian@moneyam.com if you experience any slowness today?

Ian

I was having a look at what Google Finance are doing and was interested to see a charting technique to incorporate 'News' onto the chart.

Check out http://finance.google.com (Beta) - Lloyds TSB Group plc (ADR) (Public, NYSE:LYG) and then hit, say, the '3 month' or '6 month' chart.

IanT

I am having the same problem as capt M & hutchins with normal charts taking a long time to load.

Thanks Jennifer

JJ,

We are taking a look at this at the moment, and I will let you know what we find,

Ian

Thanks Ian!
