So am I (and SueHelen, if I understand correctly) the only ones to have been living "in error" for many months with a streaming FTSE on the stockwatch page?

I'd be interested to know whether others have had the same facility without knowing that they shouldn't have had it!

Madison

I have had streaming FTSE, never realised I shouldn't have had it.

Thanks optomistic.

Madison,

I have a firewall problem at work which means I can only use non-streaming stockwatch, which gives delayed ftse, at home streaming is ok, with real-time ftse, I figured it out but kept quiet.

can you tell me why some share prices have gone down by there day close, ie british energy share price 19p down 19p current price 0.00p, have seen this on a number of shares, what is the reason for this or am i the only one with this problem ?

Me too Windy. Nearly had a heart attack when I logged into Stockwatch this moning. Even yesterday evening prices were miles different fron closing prices, and I thought I had accidently found todays starting prices being posted. If it had been I can tell you a lot of people would not be happy this morning. It looked a blood-bath.!!!!

glad i was not only one, hope someone will come back and tell us why this has happened

Hello All,

Try looking at the posts on the top thread - about the down time and system changes. I think you will find that this explains all.

Bullshare,

"If anyone had live before and they were not on those levels it was in error, and a bonus."

Since there are already six posters (Madison, SueHelen, optomistic, torquay, STORMCALLER and 2Richard2) who have noted the loss of live streaming so far, this "error" must have been pretty widespread. I imagine that others will have been using this information as frequently as I have.

Can you explain the logic of continuing to provide the streaming UKX chart to us but removing the convenience of the ticker?

When a share price moves on the stockwatch page one would generally want to know whether this is a reflection of general market movement or specific to the particular stock. Even an amateur like me needs this! I don't really want to keep having to dive off somewhere else to find out.

For me, you may have eliminated the single most important reason to use Moneyam.

Madison

Madison, the problem is that the FTSE is not licenced by the stock exchange but by a separate company, www.ftse.com. MoneyAM has to pay an additional licence fee per user for live FTSE, hence the additional cost.

can anyone use advfn?I can't even open the page.

Kayak,

Thanks for that info and I take the point.

I just don't see the logic of still providing streaming UKX chart. Also, I,m interested to know whether the withdrawal of the streaming FTSE is as big an inconvenience to others as it is to me.

I'm surprised MAM didn't give the reasoning yesterday for the additional charge, & just hope that they don't discontinue the streaming UKX chart. I agree it is certainly inconvenient not having streaming FTSE on the Stockwatch page.

Madison from my point of view it is pointless if FTSE is not(almost) real-time.
I have overcome this problem by over-lapping a real-time streaming FTSE.

STORMCALLER - are you on the free service or one of the plus levels?

torquay - please tell me more about "over-lapping a real-time streaming FTSE"! Just considering my options at present.

Thanks,

Madison

Madison,
I've got a subsription, but no "plus" so no more ftse, but as I said yesterday, regarded it as a bonus. Streaming stockwatch is killed by office firewall, so it only worked at home anyway.

Kayak, you don't by any chance have any idea of cost of the "additional licence fee per user for live FTSE"?

Just trying to decide whether I want to pay MoneyAM 137.50 a year solely for this (since I have no interest in any other "Plus" facility at present).

Regards, Madison

Sorry, I don't Madison.

STORMCALLER,

What firewall do you have at the office? Would you be interested in trying a tweak which has allowed us to bypass some (but not all) corperate firewalls?

J.

mine is still not right,everthing on the leftside of stockwatch is now gone missing,,,,,,,charts,,trades,,news,the lot.
thought when i got back it would be fixed,obviously not.
