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

Midknight - agreed it's pretty inconsistent & confusing at 0801...

For me, this is much better since it's larger. I found the Java version was too small for someone visually impaired. Thank you!

Yep I like the new format, bigger and clearer. Thankyou money am.

A big plus for me, when out and about I use a "3" internet dongle. I could never load the java stockwatch, but now it loads in a flash.... no more frustration...... peace and contemplation at last.,.

Like the new version especially as it works on my android devices

How do I update my settings to accept the fact I have a subscription? The system only allows me limited views of my stockwatch page before changing pages and telling me I need a subscription. This happens on any computer I go on so it is not a cookie issue.
Thanks

Just checked -my account tab tells me I only have a free account even though I have a premier subscription.....

Maybe the cheque bounced? ;o)

lol...d/d... but thanks!

Well done Money AM!!!!!

Just keep going with this new stockwatch. I've been using for weeks. There are kinks and it could benefit from design improvement, but it responds almost instantly and does the job.

I find not having to use Java an absolutely massive benefit. Constant reminders to install the latest update completely finished Java for me. I have now de-installed it altogether. The peace and quiet is heavenly.

L2 has stopped working. Thanks.

Great I can now use it on my I pad. I have never had a problem using java on my desk top or lap top computers.
