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

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.

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

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?

Doesn't work

... keeps crashing here, and have to shut the page and go through it all again to log in

Working very well 99% of the time
Google Chrome and Win 8.1 32bit

Thank you for not having to install Java

Oh dear! Half the MoneyAM web site seems to have gone down for me.

Bit slow and sticky this pm.

The Stockwatch page is extremely slow to load.

I've given up trying to use the Stockwatch here. Will use ADVFN instead until it's fixed.

Why will stockwatch not work today? Have re-loaded java, but that made no difference.

This is a great improvement on the previous version with the larger font size and screen stability.

why isn't it working now?

errors all round now, down for some reason ?

Mine has stopped working. It just says "not connected". I have been using the beta since you first made it available because my ISP's Java ports were overloaded and it has worked fine until now. It would not work yesterday afternoon and is still not working. I tried the java version and it reported that I needed to update Java. I did so and it won't work either.
