New platform for shares

[Guest bearbull]

Last year new platforms were introduced for CFDs and (in the UK) s/betting. The users of the sharedeal platforms have remained in the dark with an antiquated and feature-poor platform. Are there plans to introduce something a bit more 21st century for the sharedeal platform with better functionality? And if so, what new features would you introduce? As an investor, rather than a speculative day trader, there would be an interest in seeing asset allocations, performances over different timescales (at portfolio and holding level), risk and volatilty info, ability to export portfolio, and more. At the momemnt, none of these basic features are available. It's like IG's sharedealing platform is stuck in the stone ages.

Hi @bearbull, thanks for your feedback on the share dealing trading platform - all feedback is useful!

Optimising the share dealing platform is an ongoing project. Unfortunately, due to the recent major regulatory changes in Europe, the project was postponed, but we are looking to introduce a new, better and up-to-date  platform for all our share dealing clients. 

We want to make sure the platform is suitable and the best it can be for share traders needs so unfortunately it's not a case of just pushing share dealing functionality through the new web trading platform layout. As soon as we have a release of the new offering we'll be sure to inform clients.
