Hilary, suggest you post your monitor query on the PC thread. 22" widescreen is the new black now though. Even these can be picked up for quite moderate amounts of money. Bear in mind that with widescreen you'll have a wider shallower display. I'm after a 22" myself.

Housing market very slow here - ours on the market, had to drop the price twice but no interest - our agents normally do 30 viewings a week, now down to 6 a week.

I'm trying to get a new business premises and am in competition with an estate agent so hoping they're starting to feel worried :-)

hilary - 12 Jul 2007 12:52 - 8262 of 11056

Will do, Seymour. I've got a 2 x 2 set up of 17" monitors atm, but with 2 charts tiled vertically on each screen, they're a bit squashy in the width. I figured that the extra 160 pixels in the width would remove the squashiness even if it did mean losing a bit of clarity in the height.

foale - 12 Jul 2007 13:21 - 8263 of 11056

I have the same 2 tiled vertically..and thought that the 22 inch widescreen might be the way to go...as width more impt than height...however the widesreen does seem to hae less height than standard....then my studies get squashed...still I only have 17" atm so anything might be an improvement

foale - 12 Jul 2007 13:22 - 8264 of 11056

talking of studeis those of us that use a slow stochashic... am I right in thinking that tis used for keeping you in a trend...when other indicators tell you it might be time to bail.....rather than entry exit timing per se....

hilary - 12 Jul 2007 13:40 - 8265 of 11056

Because they have a tendancy to oscillate between around 15% and 85%, I use them to judge whether a move is coming to an end or if it is merely pausing or consolidating.

I would never enter the market on stochs alone, but I would exit the market if the stochs stack up alongside the other indicators.

iam looking for a charting package to view over 4 screens,needs to be able to open multi charts within the window,(streaming live data)
been using REAL TICK the last few years,
now looking at the forex pairs
what charts are better for the forex and any fav indicators would be a great help to me,

many thanks
steve

foale - 12 Jul 2007 13:59 - 8267 of 11056

lots of us here use free source for FX charts...where you can have multiple charts per screen and can add various indicators


have a look at www.dailyfx.com/charts

goforit - 12 Jul 2007 14:27 - 8268 of 11056

scussy- use prorealtime, same company that does cmc charts, very happy with them and a brilliant template system. Can have as many charts as you want, and very user friendly. Give you a free live trial, certainly worth comparing to fx charts.

just had last position closed on cable, like to see a big correction here, some good fib levels on the daily charts lower down

scussy - 12 Jul 2007 15:59 - 8269 of 11056

Is anyone else struggling with PowerCharts this morning? It's lost my settings overnight and, having re-input them it doesn't save them when I open a new window.

foale - 13 Jul 2007 07:43 - 8271 of 11056

ok here...I have one PC that loses them one that keeps them...its annoying.

I find that Window washer erases them...if you are using that

hilary - 13 Jul 2007 07:50 - 8272 of 11056

Thanks, D. I'm not even sure what Window Washer is, so I doubt it's that. There's certainly something that's erasing them though, but it happens intermittently. Bloody frustrating when you waste 1/2 hour in the morning re-inputting everything!!!

It would be handy if one of the techno whizzes on this thread (cue Delboy or Ian) could explain in simple talk how PowerCharts work exactly. If it's done through a cookie, it would be useful to know which cookie and if it could be saved safely somewhere.

goforit - 13 Jul 2007 08:34 - 8273 of 11056

h & f. is that a common problem, know john used to have problems with his powercharts last year(in spain), he used to also get them freeze up and we thought it might have something to do with poor internet connection(certainly when we moved flat last year our internet connection was good to start with, but as more people got connected in our area, it got worse and worse and he seemed to get more problems with his charts as time went on. He got so fed up with it he went of to thailand in the end!

hilary - 13 Jul 2007 08:50 - 8274 of 11056

That seems a bit of a drastic measure just because his charts didn't work.

:o)

I agree, PowerCharts used to habitually freeze, but that problem seems to have been eradicated after they changed PowerCharts a couple of months back and they are very stable now. Unfortunately though, since the change, they seem prone to losing the settings overnight.

I'm not sure if it's them or if it's my computer.

foale - 13 Jul 2007 09:04 - 8275 of 11056

one PC I use never seems to lose the settings...so its probably something on your PC and yes..agree since the upgrade have rarely had delayed or frozen charts

Seymour Clearly - 13 Jul 2007 09:09 - 8276 of 11056

Hils, it's not by cookies as I have my browser set to notify me before it accepts cookies and I never get them from Powercharts. I'd like to know as well because I want to use my settings on diffedrent PCs.

goforit - 13 Jul 2007 09:09 - 8277 of 11056

I known he had a new computer, less than a year old, one day it nearly went over the balcony.

dollar getting a kicking atm, anyreason?

maddoctor - 13 Jul 2007 09:58 - 8278 of 11056

cnn said last night the US may have to lower interest rates to save the subprime market

Seymour Clearly - 15 Jul 2007 19:48 - 8279 of 11056

Get THAT logo off !!!!

Sorry for shouting. Or you can have my logo just to even things up ;-)

MightyMicro - 16 Jul 2007 10:50 - 8280 of 11056

Apologies for my little Calendar, folks, but Hilary is on hols, I believe, and I've struggled to get the same results as she does (I'm using different software).

Naturally, FX traders should avail themselves of Dr Clearly's Patent Forex Spectacles in order to perceive future events, and not resort to inferior offerings.
