I thought of a feature that could be useful to have within the Freetrade App and if it is even theoretically possible to implement, would be nice to have it in long-term plans.
The feature would allow you to see the calendar with key events of the Securities you have invested in / have on your watchlist, for example, this would be a sample of my key events for the summer:
The figures I have shown are from tipranks.com, the dates are either ex-dividends or earnings release (the latter is of higher importance of course).
I was going to @ someone from Freetrade but was not sure who would be the best to advise whether automating such process is possible and viable for the app so @Viktor please forgive me for bothering
Would be nice to see opinions and whether anyone in the community would find it useful.
Of course, the core product (the App) is paramount at the moment, this is only a long-term suggestion to have as a stagnation mitigating tool if you ever run out of features to introduce
An ics feed for each stock would probably be the best solution, as then you could choose which stocks to subscribe to, and the same feed could be used for all customers.
Email notifications on this stuff would also be great (again on a per-stock basis).
Not a priority for launch of course but this would be a nice feature down the line.
I like getting all the information without leaving the app and could be useful for Freetrade in terms of metrics like engagement etc but long term opt-in features have maintenance costs, good for trialling and early release though.
Cool idea! Iām guessing thereās APIs that Freetrade can connect to, to pull in this info? If not, perhaps this could be crowdsourced you obviously wouldnāt want someone from the team collating this info manually..
That would be an ideal solution. Of course, users could be told to go to GitHub to do it themselves (remember the Monzo discussion about the Map? )but if it was to be done within the app one day - that would be great.
Hell no, that certainly would be the most counter-efficient solution. But I am certain TipRanks do not do this manually either. Probably simply get the info from SECās database.
The same could theoretically be done with the Companies House.
I was thinking a basic summary sort of like a table under each graph showing the expected ex-div date and dividend payable for that particular stock. So in this case, you would be able to see this information for every stock and then your idea can be utilised for automatic detection of people who have invested in stocks and update their personal calendar automatically!
Something along these lines would be amazing. would be nice some of this data gets indicated on the stock page itself as well as being on a calendar, especially things like dividend and report dates
How about a collaboration with someone already providing that service allowing connectivity between someones FT portfolio and that service thus allowing customers access to their desired features without the complete development overhead (would require development of the secure api for data transfer but once the api is developed other services could consume the same api and present portfolio data in different ways). One set of development for FT many uses.
