No notification though

This is not funny any more.

I just got upgraded this weekend, received the notification an hour ago. So the FT team is making progress. It is a bit frustrating when they don’t hit deadlines but let’s be a bit patient!

[Mat (Matthew)]

I’ve been notified that I was updated over the weekend too. I haven’t spotted anything different within the app and so I am assuming that it’s the back end (engine & plumbing) that had the upgrade, and that I’ll see the benefit of that over the coming months when new features start being rolled out again.

Onwards & upwards.

Invest is a backend upgrade. You wont notice anything different within the app apart from a potential increase in speed and instant payments.

[SpyrosL]

Have been upgraded as well, order execution is much faster and smoother

[Olomax (Ollie Lomax)]

Soooo… dare we say it…? Is everyone upgraded now??

[shane-aurora (Shane Ireland)]

Sent my proof of address hopefully and (finally) get signed up tomorrow. I hope I can refer straight away. I’ll post my number in the thread

I really don’t know… haven’t had a notification. Switching between my ISA and GIA account is still sluggish.

Have I done well? Or is there a glitch in the Matrix?

(edit) Was a glitch in the Matrix. Back to reality.

[Nicko]

Do you hold either ITM or Boohoo by chance? I’ve got a similar improvement/glitch down to those 2 stocks up 10,000% and 1,600%

[smarmara (Simon Marmara)]

FeverTree also up +300% - must be an AIM issue?

That’s interesting. Wonder what happened this morning to trigger this.

@smarmara

must be an AIM issue?

Happened for a FTSE 250 share for me as well as AIM.

It’s come crashing back down again. There goes all my gains

[jbowen (Bow)]

Well that was fun. For a while I was £20,000 up on a and p div

[jspen (#1,490)]

“Today, after almost two years, our own brokerage platform is fully rolled out”

Well done team!

[Pazza (Parrish Claxton)]

Just need some new features and plenty more stocks. Good job

Still it’s funny to see adverts from Trading212 and eToro. Suppose we keep clicking them ads for now

If you’re being served Trading 212 and eToro ads on your probably already adtech fingerprinted browser/device, it may be because you’re spending a lot of time on community.freetrade.io. You don’t have to be a webdev to find out using a free search engine that freetrade.io uses tech such as Facebook (Connect widgets), Google Analytics, Twitter Bootstrap (framework), Google Fonts API, Google Tag Manager, TrustPilot (widget), Doubleclick (Google), Hotjar (behaviour analytics). The Community uses google-analytics.

FT also seems to be using Cloudfront and Cloudflare:

Cloudflare - NET

Cloudflare went public on the NYSE on Friday 13th with the ticker NET. Cloudflare is a company that focuses on offering CDN, DNS, DDoS protection and security services using their bespoke network.

It’s simpler than that, the adverts target people following certain accounts on Twitter and people who watch certain types of YouTube videos. But just throw a Adblocker in or use a browser like Brave and it all goes away.

I use Brace and Proton VPN. Blocks most stuff, but doesn’t stop finger printing.
