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

I think it's fine and if it's less prone to crashing that the Java version, great!

Can't get into Stockwatch page. Also cannot get through to MoneyAM by phone.

Ian,

Can't get into Stockwatch page - Again. Also cannot get through to MoneyAM by phone.

Is there a problem similar to yesterday, or is the irritating 'Interactive Broker' advert jamming the webpage upload?

Last few days , I think since intro of new advert , the beta will often not connect , tried on either PC or tablet from different IP addresses and differing Internet suppliers .

Total waste of time and money. I will not be re-newing my subscription.

It is 2014 Java seems to work for everyone else, have you considered it is you that is the problem.

Ian,

Can't get into Stockwatch page - Again-Again. Also cannot get through to MoneyAM by phone.

Is there a problem similar to yesterday, or is the irritating 'Interactive Broker' advert jamming the webpage upload?

Pse could MoneyAM put out updates if there is a problem, also with fix time prognosis.

Many thanks.

Yesterday & today have found periods when I can't get a connection.
I use safari or Google Chrome.

Sharesure - 16 Oct 2014 15:28 - 635 of 734

No Stockwatch available, or trades. Why is this happening?

amana - 16 Oct 2014 15:59 - 636 of 734

Why is it shut down?

goggles - 16 Oct 2014 16:01 - 637 of 734

thought it was just me , we are not alone , this was working very well , but i feel sure some of the ads are now mucking it up .

eildonhills - 16 Oct 2014 16:06 - 638 of 734

..is your stockwatch page working at the moment?

midknight - 16 Oct 2014 16:09 - 639 of 734

You should voice your complaints on this thread where everyone else
is complaining.

goggles - 16 Oct 2014 16:16 - 640 of 734

or there has been windows updates in the last few days maybe that's the issue.

midknight - 16 Oct 2014 16:19 - 641 of 734

Nothing to do with Windows updates. This is a MoneyAM issue.
Happens frequently of late. See the thread I have mentioned above.

lotsofdogs - 16 Oct 2014 16:19 - 642 of 734

Stockwatch not working. Why not put a note on the home page to give working status of site, so that we can check if it is us or the site with problems?

Non Java generally very good, but neither working at the moment

goggles - 21 Oct 2014 08:37 - 643 of 734

Beta working again thanks

bressloff - 28 Oct 2014 10:46 - 644 of 734

I am very pleased with it and it works perfectly well with Apples's new O.S YOSEMITE
Splendid
