The ASX has communicated to all market participants of an industry-wide ASX settlement failure that occurred on Friday the 20th of December.  This failure has meant that CHESS was not able to complete market settlement on Friday and has deferred settlement to Monday the 23rd of December. For those clients who had sell trades settling on Friday we have ensured those sale proceeds have been made available to you for trading on Monday. Stock delivery for clients who had buy trades settling will need to wait until Monday before the shares become available to sell. We apologise for any inconvenience this ASX outage has caused.

One of the major benefits of ViewPoint is there is no requirement for Java which Trader required. This means ViewPoint is compatible with the following browser technologies:

  • Chrome (latest version)
  • Mozilla FireFox (latest version)
  • Safari (latest version)
  • Microsoft Edge (latest version)

For the best experience we recommend updating your browsers to the latest versions available. To help with this, we encourage you to have your browsers on an auto update schedule. Browsers such as Chrome and Mozilla FireFox will update in the background when you close and reopen your computer's browser.

Along with improvements that come with browser updates for security reasons, it’s always a good idea to install updates when they are made available.

Links to download the latest browser versions can be found below:

You can also detach a widget to display them outside of the workspace area by clicking on the menu item in the top right hand corner and selecting detach. Then drag the window to wherever you would like it to be placed.
