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 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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?
