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

Ian, when will we have the non-java on Level 2?

IanT(MoneyAM) - 02 Sep 2014 14:15 - 584 of 734

weslon,

It is being worked on as we speak, but it is rather more complicated than the stockwatch and trades hence the delay. we will get there, and we will make sure it is fully tested before any release,

Ian

Thank you, Ian. I look forward to being able to use L2 on my iPad etc.

takes forever to load!

Doesn't always work - very frustrating

erictho - 04 Sep 2014 10:23 - 588 of 734

Thank you for taking the trouble to produce a NON Java version. I've lost count of the amount of times I could NOT look at Stockwatch because of an issue with Java. Well done.

Sequestor - 04 Sep 2014 12:51 - 589 of 734

Is it safe to upDate Java now, it keeps prompting me, I need it for L2?

re Opera query.

All the watchlists fail to list fully on Opera[all the columns are there just not all of the stocks]
I usually use google chrome and all ok there. [was hoping to switch to Opera as slightly quicker-well on my computer at east]

regards

Alex

Version: 24.0.1558.53 - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 7 64-bit (WoW64)

Stockwatch (Beta) on Opera (as above) works perfectly for me.

For some reason I can no longer log into my MoneyAm account on my Ipad.

My two portfolios do not add up to the Grand Total on the first Portfolio page. The individual portfolios are correct, but the grand total is not.

Won't work on my samsung tablet.

optomistic - 27 Sep 2014 16:38 - 596 of 734

Currently not allowing me to log on to stock watch on my tower PC...OK yesterday.

Not being working for me for a few weeks now.

Much prefer the old systerm

Argy2 - 30 Sep 2014 12:11 - 599 of 734

Love the non java version but if I use my Opera browser not all my stocks appear in my stock lists in Stockwatch. For example my portfolio stops at S or T rather than cover the whole alphabet. This does not happen with Firefox. Any thoughts?

Alicat - 02 Oct 2014 08:10 - 600 of 734

Doesn't work

leewink7 - 02 Oct 2014 13:04 - 601 of 734
