I've just added Bollinger Bands to the intraday charts.
These work the same way as for historical charts, except that the
periods are in minutes rather than days.
Comments welcome,

CHAPS,
Sorry for late reply had to make hospital visit.
IanT, Tried your suggestion and acquired download, the only difference it made was to change the result as follows, after hitting GO still get red cross but it now sits in a border the size of the chart border.
With regard to streaming or otherwise, for a five day chart the default appears to be intraday, display is correct but only after refresh/retry previoulsy mentioned. One month chart appears to display end-of-day but only after refresh/retry. This result is consistent for all charts under one year whether default end-of-day, 1 month and above, or intraday, below 1 month.
To clarify what I do:-
Select charts button, enter epic, from duration dropdown select 5 day, hit "GO"
result: small red cross top left of chart window in small square, since java download this is now contained in chart sized border. hit browser refresh, get message unable to refresh without resend use retry, hit retry button and display appears correctly.

Stormcaller,
It sounds as if you are having trouble drawing a 5 day chart for certain
stocks. The 5 day charts are currently static and don't use Java.
I can't reproduce any problem with FTO which you mention above...
Could you let us know which stocks you are having trouble with here?
F

Felix,
The first 5 I tried, each with the same result, were BT.A, EEN, FTO, VOD, FKI.
I entered the epic then 6 months from the duration dropdown then "GO"
I repeated this exercise using the same epics but selecting 5 days from the duration dropdown. Each suffered the original problem.
All this was done after a powerdown re-boot, no other features were visited before charts.
If it helps I am running explorer 5.5 / windows '98 series 1
connection is via Tiscali broadband.

NOTE: RE IAN T SUGGESTION ABOVE CONCERNING USE OF THE JAVA PLUGIN, THIS KILLS MY ABILITY TO CALL NEWS OR CHART FROM STOCKWATCH SO I HAVE NOW DISABLED IT, STRANGE ?

Stormcaller,

The Java should not affect the ability to pull up charts or news from the stockwatch page - so that is rather odd.

I will pass your feedback on Charts to Felix.

Thanks

Ian

This is entirely empirical as I am no expert! However, after downloading plugin and re-booting, I checked charting as previous. Having re-tested and found continuing problem and duly reported back I went to check stockwatchto see how much I had lost, as screen started to load I noticed "java web start" logo in top left of window, as load completed logo disappeared from window, but appeared in windows toolbar bottom of page, right hand end. Included in my stockwatch list were four "N" news indicators, I moved cursor to the first, left clicked, nothing! Tried the others, then re-booted again, went straight into stockwatch got the same sequence of events. Went into java console removed plugin from operating with explorer and re-booted. Went into stockwatch and all worked normally including being able to pick individual news / chart from stockwatch.

Stormcaller,

Do you have any kind of personal firewall installed on your PC? Something like Norton Firewall or Zonealarm?

Ian

IanT
Yes, I have Norton Internet Security 2004.
I cannot tell if it makes a difference as I installed it before I was using your site.
Regards
SC

Stormcaller,

This may be what is causing the strange effects on stockwatch - can you try to access with it disabled and email me to let me know what happens?

Have sent e-mail after much work, so hope you will forgive delay

SC

IanT,
Don't know if you ever got my e-mail?
However, I continued to pursue this problem in my own fashion, changing various options, turning stuff on & off etc, all with pretty much no effect.
As a final kill-or-cure strategy, downloaded Netscape 7.1 and had a play with that.
End result, full functionality now available. The obvious exception being that the x-axis month or year bold label still overwrites the day or month sub label. Bit poor really, but at least the main functions now work.
Regards
SC

IanT,
Never one to give in easily, have continued to pursue this problem, albeit intermittently.
Felt it must be time for an update, so here it is.
The netscape has now been consigned to the dustbin, as it had too great a propensity to argue with everything else, so back to explorer again.
I am assuming there are no changes your end as I should have heard.
Well I have to say, there is a change here! I presume you saw the latest scares about explorer?, so did I. Having no other choice I set about at least acquiring the latest crits to explorer, guess what, graphs now work! Still got problem with x-axis overwrite as above, but, main functionality now 100%, just thought you'd like to know
