Strangeness on Portfolio tab

So I’ve been starting small and have transferred £20 to Freetrade. I’ve invested that in two ETFs, both of which have gone up in value slightly (22p up!) #winning

But… the portfolio graph seems to suggest that I’ve lost money (down 7p!).

What’s going on?!

Edit: @Freetrade_Team1, I’ve put this in feedback and ideas as it’s, well, feedback - but it’s come up with a vote button - is there a better place for this?

Mine has been wrong until today where it accurately shows yesterday’s performance. Give it a few days and see what happens

Was happening for me as well but looks like Freetrade have fixed this in the last few minutes.

Thanks for sharing this. Since this is a bug, rather than a suggestion, I’ve moved this to the Help :wave: category.

We’re aware that there’s a number of issues with the data feed into the portfolio graph & it’s behaviour, which we’re working on now.

Don’t know if this is a newbie question and I’m missing something but if I look up the ishares S&P 500 ETF on the yahoo app (although the graph roughly matches) the price is consistently more expensive than on freetrade

This is relatively minor, when I compare the ishares FTSE 250 ETF which is circa £20 vs yahoo’s £1,900 share price.

Like I said apologies if I’m missin something basic :tired_face:

US Dollar → GB Pound conversion?
For the FTSE 250 I assume Yahoo is shown in p as opposed to £/p on FT ( 1967 v. £19.67 )

Thanks for moving the thread Alex! Are there any early insights into the cause?

Interrsting thought on the conversion playing a part.
Not sure it’s the £/pence issue, but if it is that means the S&P 500 pictured above is being sold for 29p according to yahoo? Vs freetrades £22?

It doesn’t take a genius to guess which shares I am looking to buy first and I don’t know what amount to input to purchase! :weary:

It’s just some technical details that need tweaking :hammer:

Could you please try using the price from the app?

Not sure I understand the problem. It’s 2p out on this conversion

That’s the thing with Yahoo. It prices in $ rather tahn pence.

Blame LSE for all that confusion, it is not your fault :wink:

Not yet, we’re still looking at a couple of options. But we’re aware that this is an important fix so we’ll make sure that we get the word out to everyone (here & probably through other channels too), once it’s sorted. It’s one of top priorities too.
