Currently we can only see the headline return for everything we invested in.

Some of us may be testing different strategies, like long/short term, long/short, market neutral, fundamental/quant - we want to be able to see the return for each strategy.

Possibly by manually moving our investments into separate buckets on the app/website, then the site gives returns for that bucket only. Thoughts?

Can pies do this for you?

the problem with a pie is it looks like I cannot trade into or out of a pie, and I cannot move assets from one pie to another. seems to be fixed at inception?

but the framework for the pie seems user friendly

Welcome to the Community 👋

Moving assets between Pies is possible when using the [Export](https://helpcentre.trading212.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012524778-More-Actions-Export-shares-from-Pies-) and [Import](https://helpcentre.trading212.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012524758-More-Actions-Import-shares-into-Pies-) options. Let me know if you have something else in mind, though 👌

Ok thanks I think you are right.

The only confusing thing is that I needed to open the pie with at least one security, but it looks like I can set it to £0.00, then import assets from outside the pie.

So its a good functionality, but wasn’t obvious to me it could do that

Pies don’t allow stop limits to be applied to individual assets as far as I can tell. T212 should add that option to pies or create ‘buckets’ in the investments tab that we can bundle stocks into. I’d like to group or ‘bucket’ my stocks, but I’d prefer the safety net of a stop, hence other than for long term investments, Pies don’t seem to be suitable.

We’ve previously received similar suggestions, and if there is news about implementing such an option, I’ll update you. Thanks for the feedback - it’s appreciated 🙏

Thanks.

Expanding on this, in other apps (e.g. Yahoo Finance and Simply Wall St) where I might like to take a quick look at current prices for example I have shares broken into four categories and I manage them in slightly different ways.

1. Active - A proportion of my shares are in shorter term investments where I’m hoping to make a nice profit, grow the pot, reinvest and so on.
2. Gambles - my “fun” money where my punts sit.
3. Dividends - likely long term dividends holdings
4. Long-Term - Generally ETFs

It would be great to be able to create these on the Portfolio tab in a similar way to the lists function and also include useful summary info. Currently the portfolio tab has (I) investments, (ii) pies. The idea is to list each ‘bucket’ or ‘portfolio’ within that section, basically helping us to split out the overall ‘investments’ tab into our sub portfolios.

It’s just an enhanced view really, with stops/limits still possible but with investments bundled into your own designed sub portfolios.

Why not move them into pies to segregate them, and out of pies to trade? Bit of a faff but would give you the four views you want now without changing the software to do it?

Thank Dougal1984.

I’d be happy to use Pies if T212 adds stops and limits to them with an auto-rebalance of the pie after a sell.
