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.

Biker:

Point of clarification: was it working, then it suddenly ceased to work (on MacOS 9)? Also, do you know which version of Java you've got?

We're looking at it -- just rebooting a Mac with MacOS 9 . . .

I sill have the problem that HTML normal font size 3 reverts to size 2
The only way round so far is to change it from normal to Headline 6 and change the font size to 3

Croc: I've flagged it with engineering . . .

It was working as normal on Friday, although I can't remember the exact time I last used it. It wasn't working when I first tried this morning.

I get the page up with the little icon columns on the left displayed, and also the column of stocks in my StockWatch, but nothing else.

The Java info box says MRJ 2.2.5. Is that what you are after?

Biker - we posted an update to the applet on Thursday night, so if your browser hasn't picked it up then that may be the cause of your problem. Try the following:-

1) Hold down shift and click the Refresh icon. This should force the applet to refresh. If not...

2) Restart your browser and try step 1 above. Failing that...
3) Reboot your Mac and try step 1

You will know you have the correct version if you see news icons alongside stocks. You can also look at your Java console, or possibly System console, for the build ID of the applet, which should be 20023531604. The message looks like this:-

Deltastream StockWatch Applet (C)IST 2002
Build: 20023531604

If this doesn't fix your problem, please let me know.

Ian Penning

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go in the morning when the markets are open.

Enhancement suggestions

- share magazine subscriber watch lists.
eg. SHRMAG2003JAN watchlist for shares recommended in Jan 2003 issue of Share magazine.

Can we have 3 decimal places on the watchlist prices please. Wiggins was down 0.125 today, you show 0.12

Charts.

Would be good to be able to specify interval (eg. 5 min, 15, min, 30 min, 1 hr) for intraday and when date-ranging of no more than 5 days.

Thanks.

Also on charts can you put in the next marker above the highest price. In the case of the WGG 1 year chart the range should go to 20 with the highest price being betwen 18 and 20

When you do the portfolio it would be nice to be able to enter positions long or short and either purchase, CFD or spreadbet. Depending on which you chose different columns would be presented for input.

when charting, if I remove the grid, the scale dissapears also!

Would be nice to have the ability to 'Goto' a post in a thread. At times someone will say read post 33 when you are at 133. You can obviously use previous to go back a few pages but a simpler method would be to type in a post # and get to it in one step.

ipenning.... Good morning Ian.

I tried your instructions a couple of times, and even reuilt the desktop file, but to no avail. It looks like the new applet is installed. This is what Iget:-

having any luck with stopping double/triple lining thread
titles ? when window is tiled.

you know who dont have this problem .

also please,please,please remember my password
so many sites have different password formats which require different passwords,I cant remember them all.
and what with different upper/lower case requirements as well
it would be really really helpful.

bonsai:

On the list: there is an earlier post from ipenning on a workround on the password problem.

Hi guys

Streaming prices on stockwatch doesnt appear to be working this morning

When you try to see if there are any unread posts in certain threads it is hard to follow them across the line. Can you put lines in between or use alternate colours or even space the rows out a bit more

jeffmack' yes streamers were down but now back up. The new streaming software we put in last week seems to 'forget' to start the servers properly. The techies are on it.

Now up and running.
