Hi,
First time on here in a very long time (about 4/5 years if memeory serves me.
I took one of Peters courses back in 2009 i think but never really got to grips with trading in the way i wanted. Business, kids, moving house 8 times (yes, i did say 8 !), etc, etc meant that eventually the trading fell by the wayside. I'm just getting back into it now and am determined to stick with it this time. I'm reading everything i can get my hands on, watching all the videos, I've dug out my manual from Peters course and i've started trading at the minimum £2's by way of practice.
I know i'm going to be on here asking all manner of questions as time goes on but i have one question now if one of you guys can help me out.
I realise that with all software, regular updates will improve and sometimes alter the visual appearence but the ladder interface is slightly different than when i was last using it and try as i might, i've not been able to get it to how i remember - is this just a case of an update which makes it no longer available ? The enhanced screen i was hoping to achieve had a single ladder on the left, 3 small charts in the middle with a predicted profit above and a small one-click type setup on the right with bet history above.
I know i can achieve something similar with how things are set up now but was hoping the familiarity of the screen i used to use would help ease me back into things.
Many thanks
Craig
Ladder Screen
If you go to the Ladder page of the Settings Editor and set the Enhanced Area.... 'Layout' picklist to 'Combined', it'll look much more like the old style of ladder screen when in Enhanced mode.
You can fine tune many other aspects of the ladder screen on that page too. Note the scroll bar to see all the options.

latest version does not have the old enhanced ladder screen that you are used too. dead and gone - i assume the reason being is that you can replicate with advanced charts and make it more personal so to speak.
have a look at these 4 vids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4BWiFOL-5Q

they are all about the latest ladder and advanced chart "setup" (not sure if in correct order).
once you have watched them - not too difficult to replicate the old screen.
i think if you start with a simple line chart (advanced chart settings) with the x interval at 1 sec and the width as 50 data points - you should have a similar chart as the old one.
if you compare your not new chart to charts on the old charting tab - you can tweak the new one until it is more or less identical to the old one.

Sorted ! Thanks guys
Another quick one if i can - been playing with the trailing stop this afternoon. By right clicking to place a regular stop-loss, you get the yellow in the money available box. With the trailing stop i don't seem to have any indicator as to what position of the stop is. Is this normal as i would have thought that highlighting a trailing stop was more useful than a static one ?
Thanks again for the help so far !
