A new non-java Trades page has been launched     

George (ex MoneyAM) - 04 Mar 2014 15:46

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

Unknown trades are now just summarised at the top to allow more space for a clearer view of the remaining data.

Yes George i didn't think of that "delayed trade " . Thanks .

I'm not sure I like the chosen shades of Red and Blue in the 'Qty' and 'B/S' columns in the picture to the RHS.

They are not blatantly easy to identify and it takes me a short second to acclimatise my eyes to them. Or is it the background?

(Sorry about the double picture of the gif)

George (ex MoneyAM) - 07 Mar 2014 13:46 - 64 of 98

Yes, the colour shades are less bright than on the previous version. They are now in line with the colours used on the Shareprice page. As pages are updated we will try to use a standard scheme. Stockwatch colours will also go this way at some point.

Is it just me or does the price feed ALWAYS freeze when US payrolls are released.....?

dell314 - 11 Mar 2014 08:58 - 66 of 98

As you're improving the trades page, is there any chance we could have the actual trade prices given, rather than rounding to decimal places? This applies to stockwatch too.

Mo06 - 11 Mar 2014 09:14 - 67 of 98

One thing - the red/blue meter does not update unless I click on the GO button.

George (ex MoneyAM) - 11 Mar 2014 11:12 - 68 of 98

dell314: We are working on this change.

Mo06: Yes, that's correct, the gauge doesn't update after the page is loaded.

I have been having the same infrequent problem re connecting then not connected,(on IE) but on refreshing it always connects quickly.

More for info, as very infrequent problem.

Balerboy - 11 Mar 2014 18:51 - 70 of 98

Greek, forget IE, go to crome or firefox cope's with everything.,.

midknight - 12 Mar 2014 16:41 - 71 of 98

Greek, Baler is right about Firefox speed. You could
downlaod Firefox and keep IE as well. I have them both now
but still use IE for most sites, as some things are superior imo
e.g. having the favouries dropdown with the bar at the
top of the favourites column for immediate access to sites
one uses often. Firefox does not seem to match that with
its bookmarks, or if it does I have not found it anywhere.
I find its alphabetical list is a nuisance.
But for accessing the MAM stockwatch page it is superb.

greekman - 12 Mar 2014 17:04 - 72 of 98

Thanks to both, will try firefox, as still having problems re trades on IE.

greekman - 13 Mar 2014 09:36 - 73 of 98

Morning George,

Still having problems with trades, see post 69 and the problem is now more frequent, I use IE.

I have seen the suggestions re Firefox but I have an old laptop that has very little space left so want to resist loading Firefox as my machine already struggles a bit.

Suggestions re trades on IE or will I have to load Firefox.

Edit..........Just tried again and trades came up immediately after lots of probs earlier, strange or what.

Balerboy - 13 Mar 2014 09:40 - 74 of 98

free up some space by getting rid of the porn pics greek........ just a suggestion ;)

greekman - 13 Mar 2014 10:02 - 75 of 98

Lol (did make me smile though).

55011 - 13 Mar 2014 10:09 - 76 of 98

Been using the Non java trades page for a while. Two observations:-

1. Seems to take longer to load than the Java version, and sometimes seems "sticky" with long periods "connecting".

2. The red for the sells doesn't stand out as well as on the Java version. I see the point has already been mentioned, but I also do find the non java colours have better contrast. The non java version is more a maroon I would say. Why not keep the existing colour tones in the new format across the board?

55011 - 13 Mar 2014 10:11 - 77 of 98

.

midknight - 13 Mar 2014 11:06 - 78 of 98

55011 makes some valid points. I experience the same.

Some thoughts: The previous dropdown menu to access
earliest or highest volume trades etc. was imo far
superior and much quicker than the present
time-consuming process of entering what one
wants manually, which in any case is not
explained adequately on the trades page. I don't
use this as I never get what I want.

55011 - 13 Mar 2014 11:31 - 79 of 98

One further point.

Hitherto when the trades page timed out, a click on "trades" brought it back - as was. Now the EPIC has to be re-input each time to get the trades to show.

midknight - 13 Mar 2014 11:56 - 80 of 98

55011: That has already been mentioned by
a few of us, but George and his team think the
new system is an improvement. Can't see why and how!
Ah, well.
