Looks very neat. So have you had any blocked or rejected transactions so far?
Functional indeed but Iām sure @Freetrade_Team_Design would have a thing or two to say about the design!
Itās a third party portal owned by the LSE and where Iāve been spending most of my time these past few weeks ensuring that everything is passed to the FCA in a valid format. This will be completely automated once some final kinks are ironed out
Because it is reporting trades rather than executing them, reference to blocks or rejections just means that the data wasnāt presented in a valid format (thatās more difficult than it sounds - every trade has up to 87 data fields that need to be in a prescribed format). Such errors do pose a problem, but it wouldnāt affect the end customerās holdings at all, as the execution was taken care of many hours prior.
NB - all of the data in the screenshot is for testing purposes; nothing ārealā.
This all reminds me of Tantalus. Where heās standing in water with the fruit tree above him. When he reaches for the fruit, it moves out of reach and when he stoops to drink, the water recedes
I love a Greek mythology reference but donāt worry, this is no ironic hell Tantalus situation (dyk the word tantalise comes from that myth).
Weāre not quite customer launch ready but on the team side weāre investing our own money and building real portfolios with the app. And itās awesome
Before I joined the team, I was on the waitlist so this feels pretty special.
Itāll be very much worth the wait!
87 data fields per tradeā¦impressive!
Lots apply to funky short sells and OTC options, so luckily many can be returned blank. Our aggregated trades have given me some headaches, though, so it hasnāt all been plain sailing!
Come on gang,every time I open my App my queue keeps creeping up I know itās not that important but I would love to see it going the other way to give me a positive lift.m
First 10 onboarded! Canāt wait (#392 and going up )
It will go down @ANDREAS and @iceman (quality username there ).
The only significant potential future ācreep upā to expect is from the queue jumps for our Crowdcube investors, which weāll implement soon. It might push you down a few spots (but not a lot!), and after then weāll start taking out emails from the waitlist as weāll add customers.
Damn Iām excited.
Refer one person budā¦ you will jump the queue massivelyā¦ the reason youāve been going up is because people like myself are heavily referring people! @iceman
Iāve just spotted that the UI for ISAs is being tested for the app already, I donāt want to get anyoneās hopes up too much but maybe that means theyāre going to be ready fairly soon after the launch?
I liked the weekly update this week, the bit about the Old Mutual de-merger was cool!
Anyway, this means anyone holding Old Mutual stock (as our CEO Adam does) becomes the legal owner of two new holdings: one in Old Mutual, the other in the new company, Quilter
@rob_h Does the new security automatically get added to the universe then? Or if not how does it work?
Yep, it has to. Otherwise client holdings wouldnāt display in the app and thatās hardly fair now, is it?
The joy of mandatory corporate actions!
Was a great test of our systems and processes though.
All good. Test passed with flying colours.
A blog post is coming about corporate actions as well.
In other news, a new version for internal testing just in. What a great weekend.
Any news on when you start testing with customers? Do you have a timeline for this?
This looks great guys!
Iām particularly liking the āAboutā description detailing both the spin out price and date, itās clear and a useful reference point to compare to current price.
