Soā¦ Iāve 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 Iām 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
Great news and Iāve had a look and love the sorting features.
Based on the previous replies, itās 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 Iāll be googling today to see if I can āget more down with the kidsā!!
Just for info., the first ācomputerā (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!)
Thank you for all the comments, I hope Iāve managed to get to them all below!
@Rob14 Thanks for the feedback, and so glad itās useful. The dashboard you described does sound like a really useful feature, when it comes to comparisons between investment options, I totally agree and thatās definitely something weāre thinking about for the web.
@Big-g That sorting definitely doesnāt look correct, if itās ok Iāll open a bug our side and DM you for a few details to help us track it down. Regarding performance, definitely something weāre looking at. Iāll pass on the feedback about the feedback form
@sishbi Thanks for all this feedback! regarding Noir, Iāll check it out. Iāll open an issue our side around the dots issue you mentioned. Regarding additional security before trading, I totally agree, and Iād 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 Iāve 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 weāre working on very soon.
@Raul 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
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 Iād just say the portfolio list screen doesnāt 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 weād then gain the benefit of more sorting options.
Also thereās plenty of space for action icons (Costs and Charges, KIID, Buy/Sell, Community forum link - I know the later 2 arenāt 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 brokerās web interface, but I still think thereās 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 āDark Readerā and for some reason some of the text doesnāt render quite right using its āDynamicā mode (it works fine in āFilterā mode). But a ānativeā 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 donāt need to apply the extension on your website!
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 weāre looking at next
