šŸ’» Beta Testing for Freetrade Web

Would be great to be able to share a link to your portfolio with an option to hide absolute values of postions.

Would definitely help investing bloggers and people sharing their portfolio with friends who donā€™t have the app installed.

The web app renders well on a mobile web view already. Nice

And definitely a dark mode.

Hi,

Thanks for this.

  1. I think we need a Password with 2FA as generating an email every time to login is painful.
  2. Details of all transactions in a particular stock are missing. Can you also provide dividend income details within a stock?
  3. After clicking and getting into a stock, there should be a back button to go back to the list of stocks in that investment account.
  4. There is no cross-hair in the graph to find out the prices at various times. It is there in the App. The x-axis is not defined properly.
  5. %/Ā£ functionality is great. Also, the sorting on various fields is exactly what I wanted.

Soā€¦ Iā€™ve received 3 good news today. The Freetrade web version being one of them. Feels like the placement of the first rock of the foundation

A small step for Freetradeā€¦

And speaking of Freetrade web, did I ever mentioned Iā€™m a sucker for a stock screener I can customise myself according to my preferred criteriaā€¦ current ratio, roi, roe, 52 week low, pe, roce, yadayada

Thank you Freetrade team :+1::muscle::sparkling_heart::santa:

Great news and Iā€™ve had a look and love the sorting features.

Based on the previous replies, itā€™s made me realise that how much more advanced on tech matters you youngsters are. Coding, iterations, CI/CD, initial bootstrap, pushing code fast and often, API, SPA etc., all words and phrases Iā€™ll be googling today to see if I can ā€˜get more down with the kidsā€™!!

Just for info., the first ā€˜computerā€™ (if you would call it that now) I had any sort of experience with was the first one installed at my school when I was in the last year. I never got beyond typing in C:/ (but that was probably because the teacher was a student and she was only a couple of years older than us boys, and was quite a distraction!)

Onwards and upwards and congratulations to all!! :+1: :clap: :clap:

Thank you for all the comments, I hope Iā€™ve managed to get to them all below!

@Rob14 Thanks for the feedback, and so glad itā€™s useful. The dashboard you described does sound like a really useful feature, when it comes to comparisons between investment options, I totally agree and thatā€™s definitely something weā€™re thinking about for the web.

@markrc @RKerry @Marky :heart_eyes: Weā€™ll keep iterating!

@Big-g That sorting definitely doesnā€™t look correct, if itā€™s ok Iā€™ll open a bug our side and DM you for a few details to help us track it down. Regarding performance, definitely something weā€™re looking at. Iā€™ll pass on the feedback about the feedback form :smile:

@sishbi Thanks for all this feedback! regarding Noir, Iā€™ll check it out. Iā€™ll open an issue our side around the dots issue you mentioned. Regarding additional security before trading, I totally agree, and Iā€™d definitely consider it to be a prerequisite of any trading implementation. Regarding manual refresh/performance on load, we totally agree so expect to see improvements here, and Iā€™ve noted your suggestion for a cross account view

@szb Love that suggestion! Thanks for the feedback!

@vsn Great actionable feedback! Regarding cross hairs on the graph, not giving too much away but this is something weā€™re working on very soon.

@Raul :heart_eyes: Thanks for the kind words, and great suggestion on screener type functionality. (Also congrats on the promotion!)

@TheRaven Sounds like we should put together some tech blogs diving into more detail on these subjects in the context of freetrade :smile:

I canā€™t describe the joy Iā€™m feeling upon seeing my Freetrade investments on the big screen! :star_struck:

While I intend to use the app on a regular/daily basis, for portfolio planning/analysis, Iā€™ll be using the web version.

Great work so far and canā€™t wait to see more, loving being able to sort by value, how about option to sort investments alphabetically too?

Really appreciate the team engaging with users on here - thank you!

You can sort by any column (Including the name alphabetically!) Just click the column header. Iā€™ll note that it might not be discoverable enough!

You just made my day, thanks! :smiley:

Just to say the level of engagement with feedback has more than offset my initial disappointment with the app.

To try and make my initial feedback more actionable I guess Iā€™d just say the portfolio list screen doesnā€™t make good use of the horizontal real estate. There are 3 nested fields (ticker, share count, return) + 2 more fields hidden behind the absolute/relative gain toggle - many (not necessarily all) of these could be listed as extra columns and weā€™d then gain the benefit of more sorting options.

Also thereā€™s plenty of space for action icons (Costs and Charges, KIID, Buy/Sell, Community forum link - I know the later 2 arenā€™t implemented yet) on the list itself, these are currently sit behind a click on the instrument details page but it might be nice for some to be available from the list itself.

I assume Freetrade are making a conscious effort to keep a clean/simple interface that remains on brand and differentiated from a typical brokerā€™s web interface, but I still think thereā€™s a lot of room to make better use of the space before it starts feeling cluttered.

@clloyd Thanks for the responses. On the desktop I use ā€˜Dark Readerā€™ and for some reason some of the text doesnā€™t render quite right using its ā€˜Dynamicā€™ mode (it works fine in ā€˜Filterā€™ mode). But a ā€˜nativeā€™ dark-mode would make my day! I like all of my apps and websites to be dark, so anything you can do natively would mean I donā€™t need to apply the extension on your website!

I think thereā€™s a bug - every price is showing as green today :astonished:

Do you want me to help test that? Name a stock, Iā€™ll buy it. If it stays green then we know itā€™s a bug.

Great feedback, we do have some plans to make use of all that horizontal real estate, and these are great suggestions! Features like this are square in the discovery area weā€™re looking at next
