Hi Everyone,

To complement the new html stockwatch, we've just released a new version of the Trades page which provides a non-Java version of streaming. In addition there is a tidier layout and some more information on the page than before. For people having problems with the new version, there is still the option to choose the Java Streaming version on that page.

Please provide feedback of bugs etc.

Thanks
George

PS: I note with the new page, one has to enter an
epic each time one accesses the page. With Java the old
epic is there until one changes it. That is/was an advantage,
imo.

Yes, that's a difference between java pages and php. I don't think it's something we will work to revert though.

Looks good.

All looks good but in words that a numpty can understand what is VWAP and how is it gauged with the numbers given.,.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume-weighted_average_price

VWAP - Volume Weighed Average Price: this is a running mean average benchmark especially used by institutions. Calculated by adding up the pence traded for every transaction (price times shares traded) and then divided by the total shares traded for the day. The theory is that if you buy at a price lower than the VWAP. it is a good trade. An example would be of stock that had only twice in a day ,say 10,000 shares at 200p and 10,000 at 215p., the VWAP would be 207.5p.

Thank you George, very helpful.,.

Would it be at all possible to insert a small 1yr chart along side the epip? This would give a quick view of how a share had been doing in the past and give you an idea of where it might be going. Other than that, it works very well.,.

I like the VWAP. The only problem is if i dont get in below it ,it's going to ruin my evenings :)

It looks superb

Thanks

Any chance of adding VWAP as a column on the watchlist ? Would be very useful.

Another thing that would be very handy would be an ex dividend indicator......

The Trade Low value is not updating

Trade Hi value is not updating either - see STAN.

Mo06: There's no VWAP on the stream for stockwatch. It's available on the Level 2 stream.

I will look into the Trade Hi and Low values not updating. The figures at the top may not tally exactly with the table below because they are not updated live, rather polled every 15 seconds or so.

Mo06: By ex dividend indicator, do you mean a date, or a flag showing that today is an ex dividend date such as the N for news?

Just a flag showing Ex div today eg RIO & BLT.

Also the change value on the trades page for RIO is correct but wrong on the watchlist, which is odd...

Yes ......works great on my iMac.....!

Is L2 next...?

looking good, thanks for VWAP, makes life easier.

Mo06: Regarding ex dividend change prices, our static pages (i.e. ones that use our database for prices) show change based on yesterday's close. However the streaming data uses what is provided in real time by our supplier. They base change on the adjusted close. If you look at Google Finance, I think they do the same. We don't use adjusted close in our database, so it's a bit confusing as to what is correct.

No way of looking at highest and earliest trades, as before.
Also, Java does not allow filtering time.
