What are Freetrade working on just now

Thanks @eden! To answer your questions:

Do you know if this version will have options to keep track of unspent deposits for the next recurring order?

This version of recurring orders will make purchases according to your committed investment amount. If I understand your question correctly, this means the order won’t automatically invest any remaining cash over and above your commitment, but we are exploring alternative options such as ‘invest all available’ for future iterations of the feature.

Do you know if this work can be translated in anyway to managing automatic dividend reinvesting?

Similarly, yes - I do see synergies with recurring orders and dividend reinvesting. Whilst cash dividend payments, if left in your account, would be eligible for investment with recurring orders on your next scheduled date, I expect we’ll assess a more formalised DRIP option in future.
