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

Any ideas why the line spacing has increased on stockwatch? My list no longer fits on the screen without scrolling.

itsonlymoney - 31 Oct 2014 07:56 - 646 of 734

WHY have you increased the line spacing?? It was BRILLIANT before because you could see more without scrolling. DON'T like it.

Hiram Abif - 03 Nov 2014 10:48 - 647 of 734

Font has decreased as well as wider line spacing.

More difficult to view IMO and less stock on page without scrolling.

Previous page format was better IMO.

To increase font sizes generally on the screen, use:

'CTRL' and '+' pressed together

To decrease font sizes generally on the screen, use:

'CTRL' and '-' pressed together

Hiram Abif - 03 Nov 2014 11:37 - 649 of 734

How do I get the stock watch lines closer together, so I can get all my stocks on single view without scrolling?

Spacing gap too much; - wasted space! Needs to be reduced.

Cheers,

HAb

Can't seem to add notes on stockwatch -any help apprecitated.

Works perfectly in Chrome 38.0.2125.111 m. 2560 X 1440. Lovely, stable, no issues.

ExecLine - 11 Nov 2014 14:38 - 652 of 734

Is Stockwatch down again?

ExecLine - 11 Nov 2014 14:39 - 653 of 734

Well, if it was, it isn't now.

IanT(MoneyAM) - 17 Nov 2014 08:27 - 658 of 734

rozzer,

Stan - 17 Nov 2014 09:30 - 659 of 734

S/Watch seems back to normal now Ian, what about you others?

rozzer - 17 Nov 2014 10:07 - 660 of 734

Stan - 17 Nov 2014 10:37 - 661 of 734

Nor mine now rozzer, CLIG for example.

Hiram Abif - 17 Nov 2014 12:29 - 662 of 734

MoneyAM,

My stockwatch continues to be faulty, been like that all Monday morning.

Pse keep the updates coming with fix time estimates, so we are not left guessing like mushrooms in the dark.
