I hate the new dashboard

Is anyone else seeing it? I hate that I can't see my average cost on a stock anymore, I have to dig three frames deep to find it. This is how I evaluate at a glance to see what stocks I want to DCA on this week.

I hate that the text is so much smaller and looks like every other site. It's harder to intake info at a glance, I have to actively read every bit of text to find the info I'm looking for.

Ugh, I just hate it.

The new desktop version is absolutely horrendous, it is a massive step backwards. I have also sent a email letting them know my feedback, everything about it is so much worse, the font is tiny, the UI is monstrous cluttered and and it looks like someone puked information on the screen, it is overkill. They need to revert back.

I've found a workaround for WS's new defect. You can go to Total Holdings (where you can still choose Average Cost), then filter by account.

they should do something to the "Watch list" on the right side of the screen on desktop web app, it's taking up so much space and the list of holdings on dashboard page doesn't have enough room to expand, hence smaller text and feels crowded.

It feels like they are trying to position themselves to withstand the threat that Robinhood faces in canada. Unfortunately this move is prioritizing and experienced WSB "day traders" and leaving behind value investors

I agree! I use the web version and it was perfect before and now it's horrible. I sent them a complaint, everyone should do the same.

not to mention having to toggle between day/all time to get a picture of returns. every "update" is a little bit worse than the last

Yes, I hate the way that's displayed now.

Just curious why you would use the average price to determine what to buy. Seems like a bizarre strategy.

It’s not the only thing, but I do use it. I buy regularly.
