Hi all
Sharescope has new version 5.00 with features listed below.......Some are only availabe in all versions except GOLD.......
I wonder what has prevented the Sharescope to give features like - say Candlestick pattern recognition to GOLD Customers....??....Is it because they are paying LESS money...????.....Or has some GOLD Customers really irritated the Ionic boys in some way....!!!
Let's wait for answers....IN the meantime read on the features available in new versions.......Following extract is from Sharescoipe Upgrade info.....
New features in ShareScope Version 5.01
ShareScope is constantly being improved so the newest features may not be included in the latest User Guide. This list details the most recent enhancements (November 2006).
We have combined the Help for ShareScope Gold, Plus, Pro and Alpha (our new product for investment professionals).
Data
· ShareScope can now connect to the data server automatically and update itself. Shortly after ShareScope is started it checks to see whether the data is up to date and if it is not, updates itself. If ShareScope is already running, it connects to the data server twice a day and performs an update. To turn on this feature, select Tools : Options : Communications and tick the Update automatically option. For more information see Automatic update.
Graphs
· You can now customise a line or a shape’s colour and settings quickly by double clicking on it.
· You can now customise a market graph’s settings quickly by double clicking on its title bar.
· New options for Fibonacci Retracements:
- You can now draw Fibonacci Extensions.
- Advanced colour settings with up to 9 individually configurable levels, line styles and colours.
Use the Line Colour and Settings dialog to access these options.
· You can now override the major/minor currency unit (e.g. £ or p) displayed on graphs on a per-share basis. Double click on the currency unit in the top left-hand corner of the graph. ShareScope will save your changes between sessions. To revert to the default currency unit, simply double click again.
· Candlestick patterns, a popular technical analysis methodology (ShareScope Plus/Pro/Alpha only). Up to 26 different candlestick patterns can be highlighted on graphs (in many views including OHLC and closing line). Select Graph : Other Main Graph Settings : Candlestick Patterns.
Lists
· A new column displaying the trading system LSE-listed stocks are traded in, i.e. SETS, SETSmm, SEAQ or SEATS can now be added to the List screen. Right click in the column heading and select Add General Column : Trading System.
Toolbars

Select Data mining : Add Criterion and then use the Data Mining Wizard to access the many options from the ‘Rank in Sector’ category or select Swing and Candlestick patterns from the
‘Volume and Technical Analysis’ category.
Portfolios
· Add a list of shares (identified by their EPIC or ShareScope ID) to a portfolio quickly and easily with the File : Import : Import share list option.
· You can now add a Portfolio % transaction column to List, Portfolio and Transaction screens to see the holding of a share as a percentage of the currently selected portfolio. To add this column select Add Transaction Column : Portfolio %.
· Add dividends to your portfolios quickly and easily. ShareScope now finds and can add any dividends issued for currently held shares since the last data update. Select Show dividends since last update from the Transaction or Portfolio context menus. If you would like ShareScope to alert you automatically, go to Tools : Options : Portfolios & Transactions and select Offer to add new dividends to Portfolios after update.
· View your Portfolio and Transaction screens using realtime intraday data (ShareScope Pro/Alpha) or delayed intraday data (ShareScope Plus). Select List Design and tick the Use latest intraday price for portfolio valuations option.
· You can now add intraday Bid and Offer transaction columns (ShareScope Plus/Pro/Alpha only).
Calendar
· There is a new option for displaying bank holidays (on which the LSE is closed). Select View : Calendar and tick the Holidays option.
Window layouts (ShareScope Plus/Pro/Alpha only)
· It is now possible to copy window layouts. Select Window : Window layouts : Copy this window layout and choose where you want to copy the current layout.
Level 2
· Quote change arrows indicate in which direction each market maker’s quotes have moved.
· You can now combine trades that are reported simultaneously at the same price. Double click the trades list or use the Level 2 Design : Trades dialog.
· Improved main display with additional price information: the spread (%), open/close change arrows and percentage change. Buy/sell statistics change to reflect the range of orders displayed.
