    Best Thread Capital Spreads

    I have to admit, recently I have been disappointed with the following from Capital Spreads Execution times are extremely slow - as mentioned above usually 15 seconds for a trade to execute. Often if the price moves in your favour by a few pips during this time the message "Price no longer...

    Looking for suitable software, please

    Updata TA allows you to scan a list of stocks for a number of candle patterns, and you can add yr own as well. Never needed to do that though as the ones that come with the system seem to be quite exhaustive.

    Fan on laptop is driving mad!!!

    I'd check where the air outlet holes are on your laptop, and ensure that they're not getting blocked up - if you have the laptop on a soft surface (such as a mattress, or a lap(!)) then the surface tends to mold itself to the base of the laptop, and if this covers the air outlets, the laptop...

    P&F software

    Updata TA (http://www.updata.co.uk) is probably the best software around for P&F, both realtime and EOD. It also permits scanning for standard P&F patterns, so I'd say its worth a look imho of course

    Disc read error

    If you have an emergency boot disk somewhere, then try booting off it, then at the command prompt type in CHKDSK C: /R This should initiate a scan of your hard disk for errors. It's not necessarily going to be a major problem.

    Which motherboard?

    I find the web site http://www.tomshardware.com/index.html provides lots of good, free independent reviews on various computer components and peripherals - you may want to browse to see if they have any useful information on it.

    February Competition...

    Suggestion for extra statistic I appreciate you're probably busy with the site move and so on Sharky, but might it be possible to add a few extra statistics to the competition? One statistic that I think might be quite inftersting would be a Drawdown and possibly from this a Risk:Reward...

    Memory

    It's dependent on your motherboard. One of my machines here has slots for each of SD and DDR RAM, and they both work fine combined. However, if I've got your motherboard correct, then the spec is as follows: ASRock U-COP FSB 333MHz DDR400/333/266, Max. 3GB DDR266 memory 1 x AGP 8X/4X...

    Pattern Reconigtion Programmer wanted

    How complex are the OHLC patterns you are looking for - standard ones like hanging man/bearish engufing, that sort of thing, or are you talking about longer term patterns?? It may well be there is already software to do what you want without reinventing the wheel. And what would be in it for...

    ShareScope Plus

    If you're interested, you can do this with Updata MarketHawk - in fact you can set it to tell you as the breakout occurs. Alternatively the mention of one of their rivals might spur SS into some action :)
