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

...... but the (old)Java version IS working OK.

This is great. Quick and responsive. No need for java installation.
Columns can be quickly sorted as before.
I hope Moneyam adopts this as the new standard.

I agree - excellent and almost indistinguishable from the Java version. Are there many bugs left? Looking forward to it being on the 'button'.

Latest Java update has made it user friendlier.

Hello

Still getting the 'Mid Chg' error

eg CNA this am, shown correctly as -15.00 on the trades page but INCORRECTLY as -2.92 on the Stockwatch page (CNA is ex div today).

The '% Chg' column is also incorrect.

I like it and it is one good step in obviating Java which was/is a liability.

It works really well on the iPad. I just need to glance at it occasionally, and occult not before.

mine does not work.

just been great but today stopped working!!

Mine won't work either.

but the annoying, invasive, bandwidth-hogging ads - are working just fine
so that's OK then
