We have been spending a fair amount of time recently going through feedback from our members, and prioritizing projects. We receive a number of great suggestions and are sorry for the delay getting them up on the website.
The enhancements over the last couple of months have largely been behind the scenes, but should make for a better experience. For example you may have noticed that page load times are now significantly faster. We have also re-architected the calculation of all of the portfolio metrics, and so although the measures themselves have not changed it will be easier to add new ones, and to cope with the growing number of users.
Here are some of the larger projects that you have been asking for and their status:
- Display 'sell short' and 'buy to cover' rather than just sell/buy: We now display sell short vs sell both on the website and email notifications where this is available from the broker. Not all brokers provide this clarification.
- Include cash in portfolio performance: Version 1 coming shortly
- Allow me to invest directly alongside others: Coming shortly
- Further breakdown of rankings/help me find relevant portfolios: Coming later in the year
- Let me import my history: In progress. Challenging re data availability from the brokers
- Support for Options: In progress. Challenging re non standardized symbols and rules to automate. Unlikely this calendar year
We are now monitoring your feedback on Get Satisfaction as well as through our support alias. We greatly value your input so please keep it coming!
