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:

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

Thanks Stan, PW and Carnell.

Inverstoree, we still have the original stockwatch data from the old system so watchlists can be recovered. Maybe your stocks didn't migrate across properly. If you tell me the watchlist name, I can find your stocklist for you. Can you click Edit on the watchlist and see that there are stocks. Potentially that is the reason you're not getting a connection. 40-50 stocks is not excessive, but zero stocks won't work.

The old page and the old beta page are dead and should redirect you to /stockwatch. If you can still access the old pages, please let me know how (post the url you are using). Data edited through those pages will be lost because they are going into an now defunct system.

The Live Stream option is the same as was the beta stockwatch and is now the default. Java Stream is what used to be the default and Snapshot is the equivalent of Turn Streaming Off as it used to be.

Thanks

George

This morning when I tried to edit my watchlist it was empty so I deleted it (unfortunately before taking a note of its name which for some reason had assumed the names of the first few stocks that I had included). The default watchlist seems to be working normally and at some stage I will try and recreate the list that had evolved over a number of years. In future it would be helpful and sensible for MoneyAM to provide advance notice to users of what you are planning to do, the consequences that are likely to occur as a result. This simple step would allowing clients to take steps to preserve any data lists created. Simply printing off a list or making a note of the watchlist may have saved me hours and hours of wasted time and effort!

Investoree,

I will speak to George when he is in and ask if it is possible to recover this list,

Regards

Ian

Is this the problem?

Investoree,

I've got your stock list. I need to work out why yours didn't go across to the new format. Most have migrated fine but there must be a reason yours hasn't done so. Do you want me to post your list here or would you prefer it privately via email?

George

I've been using this since its appearance on an HP laptop and have experienced no problems at all.

All,

I am closing this thread to new postings as the system is out of beta now. If you do have any issues please add them to the normal bugs thread:
