Depending on the % reduction of FX fees it feels like it might be enough in it’s own right.
For anyone investing 1k a month and not touching it forever thats 5gbp of value per month right there. Assuming a few trades or a larger sum, that is easily 10gbp and a total no-brainer.
I support this view and would also ask that Freetrade don’t make the product purely designed for traders. Many (most?) investors prefer to buy and hold while trading infrequently.
To balance this view.
Have been waiting for the app to launch in France for a long time (very long time) and considering the current market landscape in France the app will still be in demand as it is (the app is already better than any single bank offering brokerage services in terms of pricing and the app simplicity).
There are already apps trying to make a universal app for all the markets at the same time (best example is Revolut)
At this point in time it seems that a better value proposition is to tailor the app for the largest markets in the EU with the respective tax-wrapped accounts for each of the markets (PEA in France e.g.).
The point raised is valid and indeed the product offering should still be enticing to people without access to tax wrapped accounts in the EU but would reiterate that tax wrapped accounts should not be de-prioritized.
Plus on android 
Yup, I like this and I’d happily pay for this
I got access to Plus on Android yesterday and I’ve been playing around with it since.
Nothing but positives to report so far, great job Freetrade team!
Would be good to know what the exclusive stocks are and a more detailed update on when Plus will launch ASAP 
Another Plus feature suggestion while I’m here - the ability to buy/sell over £10,000 limit.
You’ll find out more on this in the very near future 
The building freetrade page has gotten updated for anyone who missed this.
Some additional info there. We might see EU stocks before SIPPs, for example.
BTW: The new website animations are a nice addition. The website feels more like an app now when viewed from the phone.
Did I imagine it or were SIPPs discussed on an AMA call as being targeted for sept/Oct release?
Edit: Nevermind, I’ve just seen you’ve said the exact same thing on the actual Sipps discussion
Saw it too - whole shares!
Have to say, now I am used to just invest by amount and don’t care at all about whole shares (Adam was right on his AMA!) But a guess a few people have OCD so it matters
Good job Freetrade team for listening and acting on the feedback from the community!
It isn’t just about OCD though. Fractional shares create extra work for someone either FT or the share owner in certain circumstances eg stock splits/mergers etc.
Fractions are great for ease of investment and portfolio balancing but there are issues when it comes to some corporate activities. Or at least that has been my experience with fractions on another platform.
I’m sure I’ve missed a post somewhere, but what is the difference between a limit order and a triggered order? I can’t seem to make sense of it based on the post above
Limit order is guaranteed price or better, but does not support fractionals.
Triggered order is a market order that is executed when the target price is hit, but does not guarantee against price fluctuations. These do support fractions.
Fractional shares create extra work for someone either FT or the share owner in certain circumstances eg stock splits/mergers etc.
It’s a simple toggle box on the form for splits. Not too sure about mergers.
Is this because limit orders go into an order book that doesn’t support fractionals?
Doesn’t FT have the ability to not trade if the price is too low? Couldn’t that be used to do limit orders with fractionals? I’m just remembering something about FT monitoring exchange prices to ensure users aren’t getting screwed over by market makers? Or is that a reactive check after the fact only?
This is just how it’s handled by our US orders partner.
I believe limit orders (whole shares) go into the order book directly, but for fractionals they have to do an extra step which can’t be a guaranteed price.
Speculating, I suspect it’s because you’re buying / selling X shares at the guaranteed price and then a fractional part of a share which may come from a share traded in the past / future at a potentially different price. I’d have to ask around to be sure, and remember I’m a software not brokerage guy so don’t quote me on it.
Regarding monitoring exchanges, prices have to be within the NBBO (US) or LSE bid-ask spread else they’re rejected.
Here’s further thoughts on the Plus offering:
Additional share listings should be available to all customers not limited to premium accounts.
Stop-loss and limit orders should be standard on all accounts not just Plus.
What I would add:
Free share lottery for Plus members. Weekly lottery with allocation of free shares up to a £ limit of say £200.
Interest on cash - if possible.
Gadget/Travel insurance. Maybe this is a tiered up product.
Integrated market intelligence eg Morningstar, GI (again maybe this is an additional tier)
Your onto something here
