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.
