Trends

[Phil]

As an investor in Boohoo, I found this recent tweet interesting:

Maybe an idea for 2021 and beyond, but it would be great to have trends like this in the app to alert you to moves in the market, give you ideas, etc.

There’s a thread here which is similar

Client sentiment

I feel this would be a good idea, IG has something where they give a % of long and short buys of IG users as well as a how many users have an open position in the stock. I know the long and short isnt something that can be implemented until FT decided they will allow shorting. But I quite like the idea of seeing how many FT users are into a certain stock.

Would like to see this as well. Robinhood are notorious for this. Here is an example of the 100 most bought stocks on RH, I can’t seem to navigate to the page that used to give one company per page in a countdown

Robinhood

100 Most Popular Stocks | Robinhood

100 Most Popular Stocks. Buy or sell from 100 Stocks including ACB, F, and GE.

I think we should introduce this feature where you can search for stocks via parameters (right)

Perhaps not a good idea to trade the trend, but statistically interesting.

Thanks for the feedback.

We’d like to do more around trends, as we do see some very interesting searches, buys and sells taking place every week on the app.

Expect to see some more content in this area in 2020.
