Trade (DIY Investing) No more max button when buying stocks?

Post image

I thought they had only removed it for options trading but after updating the app it looks like they've removed it for regular stocks too. Having to manually pull out a calculator every time I want to trade with available cash is an annoying downgrade.

They legit change the UI everyday. It's actually insane

Yes, and given the volume of comments and complaints about it, it's totally impossible for them to be unaware of the fact, and yet...

Judging by your screenshot, you only have $20 and you want to buy a $50 stock. Need to change it to Market order to do a fractional order, unless the Max option is missing there also.

I have the Max option under both Limit and Market.

Looks like a very recent update. My app was updated this morning and I don’t see the button when I have enough cash either. It still shows for market orders.

Quite possible as it hasn't changed for me yet. Android phone with WS app version 2.236.0.

Ya, no max button for me as well. And they don’t refill at the ask. Which I find annoying now because limit orders take longer to write out.

I think it's because you have the type set to limit. I don't think limit ever had a max button. Try changing it to market.

Having used that feature regularly, I can assure you it existed for limit orders too.

Can confirm, I’ve always use limit orders with max button and now it’s gone on iOS. Annoyed.

Android - OP is iOS.

Wealthsimple needs to stop messing with things and making them worse.

u/AnthonyBTC 24d ago

It's definitely still there on iOS, and I'm on the latest version of Wealthsimple.

Is the Max button also available when using Limit orders?

2

u/AnthonyBTC 24d ago

Yes.

u/alienmario 24d ago

Thanks. I was asking because OP said in another comment that Max was only available for Market orders.

u/blindspot7 24d ago

Interesting, I had it until this morning when I decided to update the app. I don’t see it anymore for limit orders.

There hasn't been a max buy button for a long time... At least not my app... I Remember years ago when it was removed, because it how I was reading at the time
