As I'm sure you are aware, we and many of you have had a long and tiresome battle with Java when trying to use our streaming services. We have therefore been working on a solution to remove this problem.

We are pleased to announce that we have a new stockwatch available for use which no longer uses Java. We are currently making this available as a technical beta version, which means we are interested in your feedback regarding performance, bugs and browser/operating system/device compatibility issues (note: design and styling will be addressed in later beta releases).

For the purpose of allowing the old and new stockwatch versions to run concurrently, the technical functionality of the new stockwatch mimics the old one for now (not style, fonts or look). Editing and managing watchlists uses the same process as the current java stockwatch but is now at the top of the page. This will allow you to switch between the versions should you have any problems. All technical features of the current stockwatch are available in the new version except for the ability to drag resize columns. In the near future and as we migrate away from the java version of stockwatch, we will add new usability features as well as design it up to make the whole stockwatch experience smoother than it has ever been.

As this new version does not require java, you should expect it to work on your android devices and ipad/iphones. For now the display has not been optimised for smaller screens, but this will come in future development.

NOTE: Due to javascript performance in Internet Explorer 8, this new stockwatch can cause high CPU load. We recommend you use a current version of a modern browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for best results.

The new version can be found on the following link:

NOTE: Non java versions of streaming trades, streaming news and level 2 will be released over the coming weeks.

Please do not worry about design/style at the moment as this version has not been styled it is purely a technical beta test environment it will be styled before it is released. We have put this here purely for feedback on its technical functionality i.e does it work in your browser and on your PC/Laptop/Tablet/Mobile

Please post your technical feedback in this discussion thread

Thank you for your feedback and we hope you enjoy it

GREAT!! can you dump java in the rest of your screens too?

works a treat for me in Chrome. Thanks

love it!!! well done

Just started using a chromebook and had message saying the plug-in was not supported. Clicked on moneyams own version of java and screen worked fine. However when tried to view share trades the not supported message came up but without a link to the java alternative. Hope that is just a temporary glitch as need to see the trades.

I use a chrome book and have no trouble with stockwatch or charts.

Prior to HTML I could not view without java because chromebook does not support.

Is it possible to check the values shown in the Trd.Hi & Trd.Lo columns ?

Eg BLT currently showing Trd.Lo @ 1879.19, I havent seen it trade at this level today.

Had the same problem yesterday on the same stock.

I think the data is incorrect.

I cannot get live streaming trades on my tablet either, however, if you change Sort By from live streaming to Time (latest first) you will get the trades list. Hope that helps.

mo06: there was a delayed trade from a previous day reported at 7:05

George - yes there is a proxy and a really heavy-duty firewall between me & you

zzaxx99: I've just emailed you to your registered address suggesting a remote desktop session. Please see email. Thanks. George

Every time you click on trades you have to put in the EPIC ,iv'e only just noticed it's changed to a new format ...

Edit due to wrong thread.

jimmy b: If you click the T on the stockwatch or come to it from a Shareprice page, the epic code is pre-filled. If you click the Trades item in the menu, you have to enter it.

I understand that George ,however before once you had an EPIC in the box ,provided you had not logged out you could always go back to it without entering it again ..

Plus if you were looking at a chart and then went to trades it automatically gave you the same stock .

Funnily, if one wants to access prices via Java it now also works instantaneously.

The new format is a great improvement. Paul Dodd

Any reason why the times of trades seem to be all over the place? I was looking at HSD.
Edit: wrong thread.

In Stockwatch, the note 2 column intermittently collapses to the minimum and I thereby temporarily lose some of the information I have recorded. Is there a way to fix the notes columns? Otherwise its a useful development

I can't filter trades by size or time, is this option still available?
