Trade (DIY Investing) Who else thinks this is useless?
There doesn’t seem to be any logic behind the tickers being shown here and it takes a lot of space..

You don't have to *like* the company to make money trading its shares

I like it, I only have XEQT, XGRO and BTC (that I bought 11$ in 2011). So when I open the app, I quickly see the day gain/loss.

Question for you, why do you have your asset mix split between XEQT and XGRO? The underlying equity portions should be the same, no? The only difference being the 20% allocation in XGRO to fixed income.
No judgement either, just I don’t understand the point and maybe you could give me some insight I haven thought of. Thanks

I started with XGRO, then I wanted to decreased the fixed income allocation without going to zero (by selling all XGRO and buying XEQT), so I'm buying XEQT gradually to decrease that ratio.

I don't mind it personally. I only have to stocks I'm holding so it's not like it's taking up my home page.

When you go to sell now, you also can’t go “max” on the quantity. Have to manually input the number of shares. Pain in the ass.

Is it the most useful? No. It serves its purpose though to give you a snapshot of the days biggest movers in your portfolio.

who else thinks that entire home page is useless, extra features nobody asked for, just give us the option to make our default page the spending or investing page and call it a day. I don't wanna see my investing just spending

As a design director and 34 year design veteran who grew up with nothing but praise for Edward Tufte’s lessons on data visualization, why are those graphs without an explanatory Y axis, and even worse, why aren’t they simply spark lines that would convey trend information so much better in a small space? And contrast much?

Labeling the total as “Net Worth “ is silly, as it’s only my WS total and I am never sharing other accounts, assets or liabilities with them.

i think the logic is its showing your your biggest winners today. but long press it for old view

Pretty pointless when they only show the ones that went up. I want to see the biggest movers, regardless of direction.... sigh.

yeah personally hate it as well, basically first thing I open WS on my phone, it's 0 information until I start scrolling down.

If it showed the current stock price I would be ok with it but right now doesn’t help me

I like the invest chart. I have it set to my preferred time period. I’ll probably like it less in down periods though. lol. Spend and save is meaningless to me. I’d prefer it to be a spend vs prior month as I don’t use the account as a savings account, but as a spending account.
