Level2 changes
In the last few weeks we've needed to implement some code changes to make us compliant with the LSE's rules on the access of Level2 data.

The following requirement is now in place:
You can only use 1 program on 1 computer to access Level2 on MoneyAM using a single username.

This means that you are able to view as many Level2 windows using any one particular browser, or program, that you wish, however you will not be able to use both Firefox and Internet Explorer at the same time (the same goes for using Quote Tracker or TradeSeeker at the same time as viewing it using a web browser)

If you find you're being logged off of MoneyAM's Level2 with the message 'you've logged on from another location' then check the above and make sure you're not running any other programs at the same time before reporting this as a bug.

Gausie, it's years since I used it, but it's great for real time chatting. Bit like comparing royal mail (this) with telephone (that)

On charting - any chance of having the time scale skip weekends and other non trading days or at least giving the option. Currently you get flat periods every weekend when viewing say one month.

Sorry I tell a lie - it's not flat it just draws the line straight through the weekend so distorting the actual gradient of a rise/fall over the weekend.

Also still not up to date. Looking at chart for one month currently only shows up to 10/12 two days behind.

Another thing is that I'd quite like to see a chart of intraday movement over the last week at least not just the last day.

Mighty Micro, please tell me why this still works if it is proprietary software.

Addo: so you want a chat system. Ok, Ok, I'll spill the beans, we're contemplating having one. However, that's up to the MoneyAM folks, not my decision, I'm just an 'umble technology provider.

However, instant messaging systems on financial sites raise a number of issues which is why there is a standards committee chaired by a charming lady at UBS Warburg in London looking at the implications, particularly the audit and recording requirements.

We are keeping a watching brief on all this (obviously, we already have the technology).

The input text box here does not allow white space to be accepted. This was also a problem on ADVFN at first.

There should be 10 spaces between be and 10.

Addo: Your posting above has a superfluous TD close tag - the browser then interprets part of your message as being outside the scope of the HTML table, and therefore it renders it outside the table, i.e. at the top, in this case.

This is always a potential problem when posters are allowed to use HTML tags in their postings. The alternatives would be to disallow HTML posts altogether (not a popular choice), provide a limited set of tags that people can use (for example, insert image, change text color etc), or write a full HTML parser to check that individual posts will not upset the layout of the page. The latter is obviously the most flexible option.

Cool - Innit?

I have an html parser in C

Any use?

 

I second Kayak's comment.

 

Balls - That wasnt automated!

That was a neat trick - anon

Let's be honest, who found all these tricks ? Red headers, java pop ups, onmouseover popups etc... you miserable lot, I want to applause. I've been in an isolation cell for a year.

To be honest you wouldn't like the new one's I've found. Wait until someone dare's me to set the place on fire :-)

Addo, are you going to attack us with superfluous apostrophes then :-)

Lucky we are thick skinned. Give the techies a break. Gausie nice pop up in javascript. New Boys new toys I suppose.

Fair enough.

On the Trades screen, it is possible to request trades for more than one day. However the data that is returned shows a time but no date, making it impossible to use the data. I would imagine that anybody using this feature would expect to put the data into excel or similar - so a line separator would just be awkward. I think you need to actually show the date when a request spans two or more days.

Gausie

If you use the 'sort by' option on the trade screen, chose something other than 'Live Stream' e.g. 'Time (latest first)' and you will get time/date included with the price data. Live streaming trades will only include trades for today and it's actually a slight bug if trades older than this are presented - this has been fixed already and is likely to be on the beta site soon.

Excellent - thanks.

I don't have the energy anymore. Sorry. Best of luck guys
