Level2 changes
In the last few weeks we've needed to implement some code changes to make us compliant with the LSE's rules on the access of Level2 data.

The following requirement is now in place:
You can only use 1 program on 1 computer to access Level2 on MoneyAM using a single username.

This means that you are able to view as many Level2 windows using any one particular browser, or program, that you wish, however you will not be able to use both Firefox and Internet Explorer at the same time (the same goes for using Quote Tracker or TradeSeeker at the same time as viewing it using a web browser)

If you find you're being logged off of MoneyAM's Level2 with the message 'you've logged on from another location' then check the above and make sure you're not running any other programs at the same time before reporting this as a bug.

Stan,

I have just checked this and I have the change as 23.5 and the % change 3.85 which I have crossed checked on another feed, and that also shows these values.

Ian

Yes I know Ian, but they are wrong as well.

Stan,

I am afraid that that is the way that our system, and it would seem other systems out there treat this ishare. We do have seperate calculations for ishares

Ian

Stan,

I have also checked on the London Stock Exchange website, which is showing the same change and percentage change as us.

Ian

But this Is a dramatic change In the calculation (10 fold) as a report to Stockwatch, are you saying that this Is a legitimate change and not a mistake?

Stan,

The LSE website is showing the price, change and percentage change as that - as all our prices are essentially from the LSE and my cross check with a seperate supplier to us has shown the same figures, then I have to take that as the correct value.

IAn

Yes I agree and understand what you are saying and of course I'm not blaming anyone at MAM, but this change Is enormous and without announcement to the market (unless I have missed It).

Just wonder If It's a case of the "emperor's clothes" by everyone?

Stan We are at a bit of a loss to understand the issue on ISF.

The stock is correctly priced as we far as we can see. It was at 610 yesterday and today is at 632, thats a 22p increase or a 3.85% change. Can you explain why it should be a tenth of this.

Because as I said above the usual movement of ISF Is one tenth of the actual SP movement and not the actual SP movement which Is now the case.

Stan you have lost us on this on. The ishares website shows a NAV of 6.26 , so the current share price at at 632p is pretty close to the NAV. The level 2 for ISF shown below shows the correct 22.75p movement. Maybe its just become more volatile than normal, though the history also below, shows it does move around quite a bit.

Don't dispute any of that BS but it's not the way that ISF has been reported In the past.

I am going to ring the LSE and find out what Is going on and why. Sorry for taking up so much time on this.

Just to cheer you up Advfn is down and has been down for some time now.

You are not alone with the odd problem.

no level 2.

jus come back in. Stockwatch says service unavailable - down time or capacity issues.

and here-first time Ive tried to access it today!

kate bates, kernow,

many thanks .. we are sorting it as we speak .. sorry for the inconvenience.

best regards,

geoff

Me thinks, same for all. No doubt we will soon find out why.
Lets hope 2008 brings some improvement to service.

Ok now. Blimmey that was quick work. Thanks

Ian/ Bullshare,

What has changed all of a sudden Is that instead of taking the "opening" price to add the change in exchange price too, they are now taking the night before's "closing" price as the starting price and then adding the current days moves to that.

Wednesday ISF finished at 610.

http://www.moneyam.com/stockwatch

Today the footsie finished up just under 1% yet ISF finished up over 4%! all because they have changed their way of calculation.

LSE not concerned, and say that this Is set by the Market Makers. I have queued this with iShares and await a reply.

The main reason I noticed this is because I include and use the ISF epic in all my different stockwatch lists as a bellweather to give me the "realtime" price of the footsie 100 as opposed to the normal 15 minutes delayed price. I can no longer do this If they keep this up.

End of mystery but not happy about It and still want some answers from them.

Stan; We have always operated on last nights close + or - current price , our systems are not set up for opening price + or - current price
