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

apologies, we are aware and are looking at this at the moment,

Nearly 3 hrs with no data....

Mo06: This issue is being discussed in more detail
on the BUGS thread: Here

today the change in price is wrong and the percent change is wrong !

change and percent is wrong for SAGA

Great I can now use it on my I pad. I have never had a problem using java on my desk top or lap top computers.

This really is an excellent improvement on the java version, very well done all.

I had Kaspersky security fitted to my pc yesterday , and now streaming trades are no longer showing

maybe mam needs to be put on an allowed list?

Noticed this morning it was set on streaming , so i clicked on java and its alright now. whats the diff between set on streaming or java ?

Why use Java, aldwickk? The link in the header of this page will take you to your Stockwatch page (assuming you are logged in) but in HTML format, which most people find much more user friendly.

The streaming trades on stockwatch are to small , and i can't zoom them up, only the header of the page becomes large not the trades

In the HTML format I have tried to enlarge using the PC zoom level changer (using XP and IE8) and it enlarges everything. Haven't tried it with my Vista machine yet.

My stockwatch isn't working now

Where's the problems thread disappeared to? Has it been removed?

Type BUGS into the search box.

Sorry all, a bad update has killed the html stockwatch at the moment. We are trying to restore this service. In the meantime the Java version is still available.

I thought it was me with an extension.

Will wait till it comes back up

Ta

Great. Much easier than Java and no problems to date.
