What has happened to stockwatch today? There's no info on my screen.

I've plenty on mine

Why green?

Lucky you LW. Reminds my of dining in a restaurant where there was only one other party. When we complained about our food the waitor said "no-one else has complained". The other party were certainly enjoying their drink. The owners were away at the and when they returned the chef was sacked. Haven't been since so don't know if he's any good!

I've just been told that my subscri[ption does now permint this. It's not long since I received a similar warning but was then informed that whilst the non streaming version was being discontinued I could use the straming. No mention was made about this being a temporary benefit.

Angi: You are a shares magazine subscriber so your permission allows you to access streaming stockwatch but not to HTML(non streaming). The streaming stockwatch has been working fine today, don't forget though that you are on a contended basis(will get logged off)

Why can't we turn streaming off anymore?

It was useful to do so when we needed to open a quote window & a trades window.

apple: LSE rules mean't that we had to make this available in 'active' or 'level2' membership only

Rubbish!

It is perfectly legal to tell people that the price of a share was X at time Y.

You are wrongly interpreting the law.

A static display that gives a time & a price is no problem at all.

How could it be otherwise?

It's a NoBrainer!

apple; Sadly thats not the case. The LSE recently introduced new guidelines/interpretations about Html pages and contention.

The live html(static) page is deemed by them to be a 'live price' page (in market hours) and once drawn is deemed to contain live price data for 15 minutes or until it is cleared by the user. We operate a contended system and as such cannot control how long a user leaves an html page open with this 'live 'data. The LSE insist that for any live data shown we pay an exchange fee of 4 per head per month. This we are happy to do on a contended and limited streaming basis as we are able to control the basis of display and how many are logged on at any one time - commercially we do a 4 x amount of users we should allow on at any one time = payment to LSE. On html we have no such control, so if every user used html(static) commercially we would either not be here or not able to offer Free or low cost access to live prices.

Due to these changes by the LSE and a recent ruling about static live pages, we therefore have been forced to move html (static) into areas where the monthly subscription fee gives us a bit of margin in which to be able to pay this fee per head.

Bullshare, stockwatch is working OK on my screen now thanks to Jonanthan.

I didn't say live, you did.

You could have displayed the page with a 15 minute delay.

Like I said, It's a NoBrainer!

A static display that gives a time & a price is no problem at all.

If there is a 15 minute delay on it then just say so on the page.
