I’ve noticed some recent updates to the CFD section of the app, and unfortunately the new design is making it difficult for me to effectively manage my trades. The previous layout was much clearer and more functional. I have highlighted all the issues below and attached screenshots
1. Incorrect Price Display for Open Positions
Currently, the price shown for each position appears to be the current market price rather than the opening price of the trade.
This creates confusion because:
I cannot quickly see the price at which I entered the position.
It makes it harder to assess risk, manage stop-losses, and calculate performance at a glance.
The opening price is a critical piece of information and should be immediately visible.
2. Removal of the Portfolio Pie Chart
The pie chart that showed overall position allocation has been removed.
This was a very useful feature because:
It provided an instant visual overview of exposure.
It helped with risk management and diversification decisions.
It made it easier to understand overall portfolio weighting.
3. Removal of Grouped Positions by Instrument
Previously, positions were grouped under their respective stock/index (for example, all USA 500 positions were grouped together with a total value shown).
Now:
All positions are displayed in one long, ungrouped list.
It is harder to assess total exposure per instrument.
It takes more time to review and manage trades.
Is this part of an A/B test being rolled out to certain users?
From a usability and trading perspective, the previous design was far more effective. The current layout makes it harder to manage positions efficiently, especially for active traders.
I would strongly prefer a revert to the earlier version, or at least the option to toggle between the classic and new layout.
”1. Incorrect Price Display for Open Positions” is super annoying. Why to show current market price 7 times on the screen (candle graph, near Buy/Sell buttons and on each position)? And hide important information?
Trading212, please revert, that price shown on/near position would be position opening price.
I would add 4th item - not clearly indistinguishable Buy/Sell positions. Before it was different font or different icons. Quite easy was to see which is which.
Yes completely agree especially not having price on opening of position. I sent them an email on this and got a reply saying - yes understand why it’s important, will look at it etc. I really hope they somehow put that back. Not sure how they can make such silly changes. Don’t they test it out? Also why do they keep changing the layout so often? I get used to how it looks/ creates a mental memory and then they go change it.
We understand that a new layout can take some getting used to, and feedback like this is always appreciated. Regarding your points:
You’re right that opening price is important. We show current market price on the list because it drives time-sensitive decisions. This has been flagged to the product team - we’re exploring how to make entry price more accessible.
We removed it because in a leveraged CFD context, a simple allocation chart can misrepresent actual exposure (e.g., hedged positions, differing leverage). We’re exploring potential implementation of more accurate risk views.
The flat list was designed for faster action on individual positions to reduce noise on the screen and focus on positions. Total exposure per instrument is visible on the instrument details screen.
Thank you on point 1 that is the one that is really important to me. Thank you so much. Also note we have current price also on right hand screen so you see it like 6 times and entry price 0 times.
On point 3 - to others - you can group the flat list so that all of the same instrument appear together. Use the wheel think near the value amount and should be able to work it out from there. I still prefer the way it was but at least you can group together.
Totally agree with the previous poster (perhaps not on the resignation but am not far from that sentiment).
These drastic changes are incredibly annoying, why not provide an option to roll back the interface? Does T212 even have a proper UX team?
Removing the group of positions with the totals summed up per stock/commodity when it has been such a prominent feature is insane. This is loss of functionality as opposed to change in layout - I don’t appreciate being told “it takes getting used to” when it is a key feature that was critical to assessing my trades.
Please roll back ASAP, or at least provide users an option to do so. Do not fix what isn’t broken please, and definitely don’t break what was working well.
Agree on point one, it makes it difficult to keep track of my positions. A settings options for switching between the classic and new layout would be helpful.
Most T212 traders disagree with your point regarding the grouped positions. If you trade multiple open positions the new GUI makes it incredibly messy and time consuming to manage them. Considering how fast paced day trading is this new GUI is an absolute deal breaker.. Please revert!!!
I logged into the app tonight and honestly couldn’t believe how bad the new UI changes are. Not showing the opening price of a position and instead showing the current price for every single position is insane. Why would anyone find this useful? Why do we need to see the same number on the screen 50 times, updating in real time?
Hi @Bogi.H , what’s the progress on 1st point? If it’s difficult or time consuming to find a solution, please just revert that it would be shown opening price (instead of current price) on position in meantime while product team exploring other approaches.
Also, in CFD, in all positions page (pie logo) currently it’s impossible to find out position opening price.
Today new version were released. On CFD, now I can’t modify take-profit, or stop-loss number. Now it’s required to delete number and enter new one. You can’t modify.
Just crazy how usability goes backwards.
please take a look into screen recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Lp-DSy0fYyfsQj9FoTcXl3VlMNmkl2oo/view?usp=drive_link
I’m unable to modify any stop-loss, take-profit, price-alerts, pending orders prices.
The only workaround is to delete numbers from back and to re-enter them.
It’s impossible to edit any number which is not the last.
In the screen recording you do not appear to press the + or - buttons (which changes those values) nor do you press the confirm changes button. The latter is needed to actually change the values. Pressing the X at the top merely abandons any changes.
I really don’t get how removing the grouped positions make the trading faster. Is as fast as before but instead we lose a way to organize our trades and have a overview of the overall result for a specific stock.
Also by removing the grouping you lose the best place to show the current price of a stock. Without it I agree that showing the current price instead of the opening price is more important but would never had this problem if the groping was still there.
Please give the users the possibility to chose if they want to group their trades by stock.
Hey @Bogi.H could we have an update on these and the progress by the product team? Issue 1 is a very serious issue and would appreciate if this can be solved 2 and 3 are less major issues that we can potentially live with.
