New Charting?

[#1]

First of all seasons greetings to all :). I have been away for a while. Second, I remember a while ago that simon mentioned new charting would be introduced by december. I am just wondering if this is still happening just a little later? Thanks everyone.

Also heard about this back in October/ September when attending seminars. When i asked on the forum as you are now, all I got was a blunt reply from simon saying that they arnt bringing out any new charting program! Try IG markets there charting software is fantastic.

[SimonPB]

that's not what I said ..

[suki]

what did you say?

[SimonPB]

no idea .. But I certainly did not say that OST wasn't going to do charts ..

late December...

...back in '63.What a very special time for me. What a feeling, what a night.

So an improvement on SB charting isnt on the cards at all?

[#9]

Ok still confused?!?!? haha. Happening or not happening?

Yes, I must agree. If I look at all the hard work that went into this site, the charting is absolutely lacking by light years!! I mean.... and I quote.... "Please note that the chart application was upgraded on 27/08/2007. If you are having trouble loading the chart you may need to upgrade to Java version 6 by clicking here (Java version 6 only supports Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and 2003 Server). For older versions of Windows (ME, 98 , 95) click here for a Java 5 version of the chart." Are you kidding me?????????? Windows 95??

[SimonPB]

bwabwahahahahaha ..

[CHATTYCHAT]

remeber: this was a '2007 post the '95 edition was still in use.

[Krypt0n1te]

@ Chattychat. Exactly my point! It's 3.5 years down the line and nothing has been done to the charting since. I know for a fact that there is clients leaving SBK for IGMarkets due to cfd pricing and especially the charting software. Now don't get me wron

[BoburUncle]

The only reason why I am looking at IG Markets now is because of the charting they offer is far more superior.

[SimonPB]

what of the price shading somebody mentioned on this forum the other day ??

[Krypt0n1te]

@ SimonPB. Was the alledged shading done by SBK or IGM?

[SimonPB]

IG .. somebody asked how come the IG SA 40 (whatever they call it) was 100 points below the ALSI futures as shown here ..

[TOPIX]

And the correct answer was that the futures market trades +- 100 points higher than the spot market because of interest etc...etc...

Why would you you trade the alsi through IG anyway???? It is way to expensive, you should be using a local broker dwt etc etc. If however you trading forex or international indices such as dow/ftse you won't be able to beat IGindex. Their charting and dealing platform is in a league of its own, spreads on the ftse from 0.5 points - thats almost trading for free. In my opinion they are pretty close to the best trading house on the planet.

[SimonPB]

I have no idea of the correct answer .. I assumed he was refering to their equivalent ALSI futures .. which would have meant shading .. but maybe not .. figured it was a question best put to IG ..
