Now I know what you’re all thinking Oh no not you again, I can almost hear you sigh but it wouldn’t be an AMA if I didn’t, like The Rolling Stones, bust out an old hit that nobody asked for …

JISA, LISA. When? How far away?

SIPP employer contributions. When? How far away?

Some have expressed interest in a Freetrade Pro kind of account. When? How far away?

Which of the highly requested features (if any) can UK users expect in 2021?

(I’m hoping the reason your doing an AMA is to announce something juicy before year end)

There hasn’t been many new features or improvements on the app this year, why is that?

(I can only think of instant deposits and live-ish pricing - both great features)

Why is EU stocks taking significantly longer than expected?

100% agreed with this. The front page graph is basically useless because my regular deposits make it always look like things are rosy, even if they aren’t. A graph like the one in the ‘Insights’ tab is what should be on the front page.

Another investment app I use dose exactly the same with the graph. I think it is cos it gives the impression that your money is always going up or up by even more than it is. Unless you know what you are look at.

Hi there. Happy FT user here.

There have been numerous requests for this for a while now, so the question is…

Will you be adding a trailing stop loss feature (as is common on a lot of other trading platforms)?

Thanks for the AMA!
