All,



Over the weekend, the London Stock Exchange are migrating their trading platform/price feeds to a new technology, with several differences in the data format. This change will affect all data providers and all brokers, as they will be switched to the new system.



The new system will be live as of Monday 14th February.



We have been making the necessary changes and performing comprehensive testing to make sure that the change goes smoothly and does not affect our users. However, due to the complex nature and fundamental restructuring this change is forcing onto ALL data providers/brokers, there is a possibility that some providers may experience difficulties.



We are confident that the service should be working as normal, however, should you do spot any issues from open on Monday morning, please let us know.

Mike, one of my shares has only risen by 1% today, surely this is related to the LSE faff?

Geoff / Ian

Could you please check out the movements in my portfolio. I am looking at my holding of Equatorial Palm Oil (PAL) which hasn't moved today but todays movement is showing as +12.25%. This problem is across all my investments. The % movement change today is not correct. Is this still a problem with the new feed. Please advise.

Thanks

problem stockwatch and portfolio same current prices

stock watch GKP 170.12 down .88P

portfolio GkP 170.12 down 1.88p

Sympathies for you guys at moneyam - getting all this grief from something entirely preventable. LSE management (sic) should be roasted.

Problems on L1 on some slow no movers for example ash pth ocl etc where mid price is 0.00 but bid and offer tell us otherwise. I guess this is cos LSE does not publish mid price - muppets!

Bert

Thanks City10,

Will pass these on

Ian Geoff-I still rate MAM and would not change to any other L 2 provider. I for one am not blaming MAM.

Well Ian timed it well to become a Dad again!!! Congratulations to him and the family, is it a boy or a child? :o)

No doubt any lingering problems will be sorted in a flash when he returns! ;o)

portfolio prices are all over the place RXP,OEX,SQZ example
------------------todays
---------Price----Change----%
RXP--- 6.12p -- -2.38p -27.9% RXP open @ 5.83P
OEX---29p----- -3.5p -10.8% OEX open @ 29.75P
SQZ---38.62p- -2.12p -5.2% SQZ open @ 39P

Can you sort this please

DFGO,

We are currently looking into the problem with the Portfolio prices and will advise when we have a fix in place.

Millennium bugs hit stock exchange
Crashing like it's 1999

By John Oates

Posted in Operating Systems, 17th February 2011 09:38 GMT

The London Stock Exchange suffered a second day of problems yesterday as its new trading platform struggled to function again.

On Tuesday the market failed to close correctly, causing confusion over closing prices for brokers and traders.

Yesterday the MillenniumIT system displayed zeroes against some bid and ask prices, according to City AM.

The low latency system is based on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Novell. It replaced a Microsoft.NET system built by Accenture. That system also had its share of problems.

Trading and news systems like Thomson Reuters which depend on LSE data apologised to customers for the outage.

TD Waterhouse told the FT: "Currently a technical issue between the LSE and one of our data providers is affecting stop loss orders on UK stocks. As an interim measure we have taken the decision to manage the existing orders on our book and stop taking new orders."

The exchange suffered a mysterious two-hour outage back in November when it switched over its Turquoise system to MillenniumIT. But that was blamed on "human error", which the exchange claimed was likely sabotage.

COULDN`T RUN A ..............IN A ................ (LSE THAT IS)
Moneyam seem to have coped very well, so thanks for that.
I see advfn are now able to display if a second, third etc rns is issued.
Some years ago I was told to "watch this space" when I enquired if moneyam could provide this service. Was also promised an rns advice on L2.
Seriously Chaps you may be cheaper and more pleasant to deal with but you need to get your fingers out or you are going to get left behind.
