@AlexK @David What happened to this? By my calculations, there should be at least 1200 new stocks on the platform by now but I donāt think that is the caseā¦
There are 900+ new. Last two weeks we couldnāt add new stocks. We will compensate by adding more in the following weeks.

@George Thanks! My bad, I was looking at the stocks number which on my app shows as 2458 and 395 ETF total. what is the total stock volume now?
About 958 stocks were added in 4x week batches plus many fractionals afaikā¦
Why are fractional shares in such high demand for companies with share values lower than $100??
The current number should be ~3900.
I understand your confusion about the counters on the directories. Unfortunately, when new stocks get added they do not get automatically categorised to a search folder. Itās a manual process and currently we are prioritising adding new stocks over categorising.

Pies, a stock canāt be added if itās not fractional.
Are pies available on the android version? How do I create one? There is no option on the portfolio section
Press the pies tab. Then there is a + button to start the creation of a new pie.
No I donāt have this. Only my portfolio and not + button
Itās still in BETA so you must sign up
@hmodh Adding new stocks is on hold at the moment, the focus from now on will be to add fractional shares, which will also heavily compliment the AutoInvest feature. Expect new additions next week.

@david if you can prioritise Illumina and Wayfair next week, Iāll be your best friend.
Cheers and have a good weekend.

Glad to hear it, agree itās the way to go. ILMN, MELI, NOW and LITE seem to be among the most frequently requested fractionals.

I second this. Please prioritize especially ILMN & MELI as theyāre both highly priced and needs to be in our pies!

If I were 212 I would be careful here. Freetrade, as everyone here knows, is a shitty app in comparison to 212. But they do have stocks that 212 doesnāt and that provides a reason to keep assets at FT rather than 212. So while I would welcome more fractionals to improve the pies feature, I would be wary of 212 concentrating on this at the expense of adding new stocks ā freetrade has got some momentum up lately on this and it is about the only way they could put a brake on 212ās progress

I follow both lists quite frequently, Freetrade has about 20 stocks that arenāt on T212, whilst T212 has about 2000 that arenāt on Freetrade. 
But yes I hope T212 are figuring out a solution where by they stop taking requests in a forum, and start collecting them via app/website so that they can instantly see whatās in demand and then you get instant notification once added. Add in a voting system to +1 requests etc
Same goes for fractional, have a small button on the stock that says request fractional. That would give instant feedback to T212 and once it goes over a threshold gets done.

Trading212 and Freetrade donāt need to be arch rivals, theyāre both great challengers in this industry going against the incumbents. Both their success is good for us consumersā¦ if you have no investment stake (equity) in either Trading212 nor Freetrade as companies, itās misguided to disparage either imho.

I agree and there are loads of other reasons to use 212 that freetrade doesnāt come near ā CFDs, practise accounts, better execution etc. But the biggest threat to 212 is not that freetrade will suddenly launch a pies feature (of course they wonāt, they can barely launch an investment feature) itās that freetrade will drop a bunch of stocks that are being requested here and are not being provided by 212. If I were at FT (which Iām not) I would be figuring out what these stocks are pretty quickly.
Agree this would be a great idea to implement. WCLD/KWLD for instance has 20 likes on the OP post and was requested a month ago with comments each week showing itās highly requested and still not added is a tad frustrating given a while ago 212 were on fire satisfying even obscure community requests.
