A new non-java Stockwatch is ready to try out - Technical Beta Test     

IanT(MoneyAM) - 29 Jan 2014 07:42

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:

http://www.moneyam.com/stockwatch/beta.php

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

Works on my XP computer but not on my new windows 8.1 10" computer running firefox or explorer11. Any ideas?

IPP and MAC show trades in Stockwatch.

Reviewing them using trades "filter" over the last few days reveals that the Stockwatch entry is out of date, ie not a current day's trade.

Maybe something to do with lightly traded stocks?

I have just uploaded up to date Java, taken all old ones out.For the first time cannot get monitor without Java.When without I get all headings but no info.
What needs to be done my end.?

I will let George know

stable - 30 Apr 2014 12:07 - 469 of 734

Ian, I can only get the stockwatch via java(which occurs automaticaly)
When I try the new html it shows all but prices

Moneylender - 30 Apr 2014 13:40 - 470 of 734

Ian they have both failed now!

IanT(MoneyAM) - 30 Apr 2014 13:41 - 471 of 734

which operating systems/browsers (type and version) are you all using (those of you having issues loading the HTML version)

stable - 30 Apr 2014 14:51 - 472 of 734

Ian just this moment returned and I was failing with both google ands firefox,now
they are both working. Perhaps the secret is, go to golf club for sandwich and then mow the lawn.

Have you tried a restart of your machine moneylender, it may settle things.,.

Moneylender - 30 Apr 2014 15:01 - 475 of 734

Was doing that as you posted Balerboy, all seems fine now thanks

Thanks Ian as well

PooleGuy - 01 May 2014 10:46 - 476 of 734

Does not work on my 8.1 windows laptop using ie11 or firefox.
I only get the headings and annoying adverts.
I'm I missing a plugin or add-on?
Works on an older XP machine

Nother Hubbard - 02 May 2014 12:18 - 477 of 734

Much better than java format. When's this going to be made the default?!

benkhan - 05 May 2014 10:11 - 478 of 734

Streaming in this beta version updates every 15 seconds, unlike the Java version which was continuous live streaming.
There are also no figures in the mid change and % change columns,

Ian
I have six watch lists all formatted the same but on the your new non java program I can only bring up lists one and two. On the previous version of java it brings up the headers for each watch list and the epics but no other detail.

My system is Windows 7 and recently updated version of java.

This is very frustrating and timewasting. I would rather have option to use old system.

It works fine for me, but Java Script always wants to start first.

Balerboy - 06 May 2014 17:07 - 481 of 734

Much more stable than Java, both on PC and Mac.
