Trading Stocks and Crypto

I like the categories bit on the top, are there any plans of adding a watchlist or favorites on this tab?

Yes, but it won’t come in V1.

We are trying to make it as simple as possible to release asap. :wink:

Please can you offer the option to completely hide this particular section in the app.

To me trading individual stocks and crypto is barely better than gambling and is completely antithetical to the spirit of the rest of the app.

The display seems to be mixing together stocks and crypto (ethereum in same list as stocks). I’m not sure this is appropriate - crypto shouldn’t be thought of in the same way as stocks in my opinion. Also, from a practical perspective the daily movers list will often just be dominated by crypto.

On another topic - whilst I expect you probably won’t provide ISAs from the start, I suppose they may be in longer term plans. If so, it may be worth considering how GIA and ISA accounts would eventually co-exist in the tab. Dozens (for example) doesn’t currently provide in-app visibility of the separation between GIA and ISA accounts (no toggle to switch between GIA and ISA). Everything just gets mixed together in the app and the separation only exists behind the scenes. My guess is this was a planning oversight; it makes for a horrible user experience.

I think they need to co-exist when it comes down to overall portfolio.

We are also experimenting with 2 tabs (like a switch stocks/crypto).

We have some other screens to share.

We should be able to release this in November to some early testers.

What do you guys think of social trading? This would be having leaderboards and statistics about other users.

It could turn bad if it inadvertently rewards the wrong behaviour.

Generally speaking, I think Public ( US broker ) does Social the best so far.

I also like the way they let users categorise stocks as Long Term for stocks you plan on holding for more than a year. Then they introduce more friction if you try to sell sooner than a year.

This is interesting to see.

@saf, what do you think would be the best way to ensure that wrong behaviour isn’t inadvertently rewarded?

Yeah, I find their feed really cool.

The easiest way might be to present the leaderboard and ranks with context like how long the user has held the stocks for, how often the churn their portfolio, some form of risk assessment on the portfolio, etc, etc. Maybe even showing warning signs if the portfolio is engaging in too many risky behaviours.

You seen the public profile pages like Jannick Malling's Investment Portfolio | Public.com ?

Yes and wondered if it was just a marketing move, this seemed pretty empty: Shaq Oneal's Investment Portfolio | Public.com

Will this support adding manual stock trades for tracking other platforms? E.g. Tracking RSU allocations / Other stock ownership that can’t be moved to Emma?

We are starting with our own service at first: US Stocks, followed by the top 20 cryptos.

In relation to the social stuff…Personally I’d like the option to not have myself included on a “leaderboard” … so can an “opt out” toggle be provided?
