I have gone through the gruesome copy paste effort to update the old survey for most requested features, and shamelessly copied @Richard.W s additions consolidating similar ones into a single vote.
I have added additional exchanges as separate options since adding two different exchanges are vastly different jobs and if a particular exchange is important for you then vote for it, rather than “yes give me all exchanges in the world”
Also I’ve included UK tax efficient wrappers (SIPP/LISA/JISA) if there are any similar EU tax efficient wrappers please let me know.
Since there are a lot of options now, you can pick up to 5 from the list.
Most wanted features
SIPP
LISA
JISA
Option Trading
Stock Screener
Multi Currency Accounts
In-Specie share transfers to/from other brokers
Annual and/or financial year transaction and/or holdings exports (ie. CSV)
pies inside pies
Level 2 Data
Basic API for retrieving current positions/transactions/dividends
Advanced API that enables trading over the API (in addition to Basic)
Advanced order types in Invest/ISA accounts (stop loss, trailing stop etc)
copy/convert pie to pie / pie to watchlist / watchlist to pie (also between accounts)
Additional pie sorting options (name/result/current holdings/target holdings)
Display live exchange rates for commonly traded currencies.
Remove arbitrary restrictions in UI (right clicking/mouse select etc)
Remove arbitrary 95% of cash rule on limit orders
Improve contract notes with to/from currencies and actual TX share price
Facility to roundup or rounddown a fractional share holding to a whole number
Provide segregated views of holdings in the same instrument that are held in and outside pies
Ability to login to more than one sessions, including app/web
Limit orders for fractional shares
Implement a pop up warning that profit will be affected by exchange rate on the first occasion that a user starts to buy an instrument that is not priced in their base currency.
Improve search for stocks whose ticker is 1 or 2 characters. O, CL, FL, J etc are presently hard to find. Also ticker/symbol of a share should have a lot higher weighting than the text description while searching.
Corporate actions (voting rights etc)
If possible to do, all charts to be updated with full price history, not just the history since it went live on the platform.
VWAP and more advanced indicators. (VWAP is by far the most requested one)
Add Hong Kong(HKEX) Exchange
Add Toronto(TO) Exchange
Add Australian(ASX) Exchange
Add Tokyo(TYO) Exchange
Add Milan(BI) Exchange

special thanks goes to @George for quickly bumping poll limit for us
Don’t think people realise a LISA isn’t only for home purchasing, it’s also a retirement account you can put money into up to 50 and then withdraw at 60 with your 25% bonuses
I do realise it but I think SIPP is better for that purpose, without consuming ISA allowance, where you can start withdrawing at 55 if you wanted to. LISA is unquestionably best option for a home buyer / morgage deposit tho.
Agree. Just speaking for myself, I personally wouldn’t want to risk messing about with the automatic 25% gains of a LISA. Just happy to have that immediate appreciation as well as interest (once that actually becomes a thing again!)
I say why not both, surely you won’t need all your money at retirement. Use your £4K LISA Allowance and get that nice 25% and you can have it 5 years into your retirement if you do so at 55 as with the SIPP
well if this question is specifically for me, I can’t have it anyway because I am over 40
automatic gains on SIPP is twice that tho if you are in the higher tax band, it says up to 40% but the way I am calculating it, it feels like 50%. If I invest 80 today, I get 20 extra immediately and 20 more after self assessment so 80 + 40 = profit
The messing up part comes with choosing the wrong stocks and seeing your 25% gains wiped out. The market isn’t going to be like this every year so 25% gains on a 5th of your ISA allowance is a pretty decent return for doing nothing. I just don’t see the need to mess with that with £16k still left on the table.
Anyway. I’m merely justifying why I wouldn’t select the LISA option on that survey. Each to their own.
Yes SIPP is also :UK only, but I’m gonno guess it holds a lot more money for a lot of people (since it does not have the 4K annual limit) And if you switched a few companies inside UK you probably have pensions with quite a few companies.
it’d be nice to:
for people to consolidate all those pensions, in a low cost broker.
for T212 to get some lump sump transfers.
for T212 (if implemented properly) a completely new stream of income from corporate users.
and its already around the corner anyway
… it will be the cheapest SIPP service on the market …
