Hey, they definitely slowed down adding new requested stocks, as I too have requests dating back two months now. There is probably a lot going on behind the scenes that we don’t know of, but hopefully you won’t have to migrate over somewhere else because they will get everything they are working on sorted and the new stocks will come rolling in 👍 There’s a lot to look forward to > [@200+ new stocks every week](https://community.trading212.com/t/200-new-stocks-every-week/5780): > > Starting next week, we’ll be adding at least 200 new stocks every week.

Thank you Donald - so instant trades will still be free, do you think, for non-AIM stocks? ---

Trades for US stocks aren’t free at the moment anyway. But for FTSE stocks I think it’s really hard to say. We will have to see. ---

Hmmm…UnFreeTrade… Shame they have to tinker by freemiuming around. ---

> [@CaptainDangernoodle](#): > > Hey, they definitely slowed down adding new requested stocks, As far as I understand they are only adding IPOs (I am glad that at least they add IPOs 🙂), which is why some users such as the opening post may be a bit annoyed. Most people, including me, have pending requests, I guess that is just how it is. Maybe it would be useful if they did add a few stocks each week, even if it is 20 stocks, instead of the previous 200, to try and keep the process going and keep some of these users happy. ---

I understand your frustration too. We’ve been ages for the cloud computing ETF - it’s the most liked post on this forum but they continue to ignore it for some reason. There’s a paucity of investment trusts and decent UK etfs on T212 and the situation never seems to change. That said, FreeTrade comes out really badly in a straight comparison with T212. There’s tons more shares on T212 and the costs are better - an ISA with T212 is free but £36 / year with FreeTrade. ---

Depends which ETFs you’re talking about. Vanguard S&P 500 is charging 0.07% as an example. [Previous page](https://community.trading212.com/t/frustrated-with-a-lack-of-etfs-and-funds-on-platform-in-pounds-sterling/12201.md?page=1)
