I find this auto log-out quite annoying Simon...

Simon, just note that to bypass the auto log out (as mentioned plenty of times on this forum) is as easy as copy and pasting the following link into your browser -

Ive actually got it in a Word document on my desktop! Now if it is actually this easy to bypass the auto logout, maybe consideration should be given to cancel it altogether or making it something ridiculous as in 1 hour or so? Just a comment in the bypass....
On a serious note, have you seen the DOW!!! MAN!!! DEfinately a big gap UP open for us I'd reckon. Also appears that some big players were shorting this afternoon on futures and gonna add some oil to the fire in trying to cover in the am. Cheers

Simon. With regards to your answer to my input: Daytraders are online all day. The problem arises when youre into the risky stuff like waves and you need to do a trade quickly, you discover youve been timed-out because youve been watching your streamer constantly and now have to log-on again.The time lapse costs you, believe me. You didnt react to the indemnity part? Is it at all possible?

ha ha. well, if he is in SA or worse still Zim, then that is a fair enough claim i would say.
smoke stack, that being JHB?

Thanks for response(s) Simon. I will try Jonny's URL suggestion in the morning - I think 20 - 30 minutes will make a substantial difference IMO.

That won't get you past the auto-logout.. only work if you are already logged in but you've closed your browser or it crashed. You can load the browser up and drop the link in and it will continue your session

If you are a 'daytrader', you're an idiot to use the SFM platform... I like this site and I do all my share trading through here, but this is not designed as a real-time trading platform, nor are warrants/waves good instruments for daytrading. 'Daytraders' using this site are kidding themselves. At the very least you need to find instruments with very low trading costs and tight spreads, and you need reliable real-time prices and charting.

Let me throw a spanner in the works here. When I am using my laptop, I find the time too short, but when I am using my Blackberry I find it too long, cos for whatever reason it isn't possible to log out on the blackberry (it just won't show me the logout icon), so the shut out then is too long for me to wait to log back in
