When it comes to daily investment routines, having an instant summary of the day’s biggest ‘advancers’ and ‘decliners’ can be a gauge of sentiment and a useful source of possible trading ideas.

With the latest platform improvements at Stockopedia, we’ve enhanced the Markets data area of the Today page to include an Advancers and Decliners table. This has been a popular request from users and delivers more detail about some of the day's biggest percentage price moves.

Currently, you can click between the main indices (based on your subscription plan) to see multi-timescale price charts, fundamental and technical highlights. We've now added the biggest daily risers and fallers for each index - plus we've included the UK's popular Alternative Investment Index (AIM) as a new addition. The new table covers the top five stocks based on percentage price change, together with their StockRanks.

In addition, you can click through from the new movers table to the StockReports of the top five names, plus access full index lists that are sorted by the day's biggest risers and fallers. These changes make it easier to get an instant fix on what is happening in the market and find new ideas.

Always see your preferred Folio view - with sticky sorting

Late last year we introduced a range of new improvements to the way tables are presented across the platform, as well as a large increase in the amount of data they can hold. In response to feedback from users, we’ve now added more functionality - especially in Folio tables - giving you more flexibility over the way they can be sorted.

Until now, viewing your Folio on Stockopedia meant seeing your holdings sorted by company name in alphabetical order. Like all tables, Folios could be sorted by clicking the column headers - but they would always revert to alphabetical order when you referred back to them.

To solve this and help you save time and manage what can be very lengthy and detailed Folio tables, we’ve introduced sticky sorting.

Now, you can sort a Folio table using any column of your choosing and the preference will be remembered the next time you view it - and that goes for each of the eight different table views (ranging from Quotes and Ranks through to Momentum and Holdings). For…

A sum total row at the bottom of relevant columns in Folio's would be great (Value, Gain/Loss etc).

Oliver Cooper

Whilst not exactly what you are after, there is a workaround here you might find useful. If you have created a chart template with 'Events' added, then upon the pop-up appearing to can click on the chart on the pop-up and go straight to the template, as shown below:

It all helps to keep abreast of general research. I agree with "Bullygig". Sum-totals, sigma, at bottom of columns, would be helpful.

KevLucas

Super improvement & agree with Bullygig addition of row totals. Also would like to see greater use of % function.

Thanks Oliver.

Gareth Young

great suggestion. I had thought the same

Rare Bird

The figures are consistent, to three significant figures, which is a logical way to do it as it takes account of scale.

I still remain a little disappointed with the various roadmapping iterations that have been and gone, and the use of the current 'productboard' version too. The items that seem to be selected for development don't seem to reflect popular voting, and many items seem vague at best in their descriptions - very hard to see why they are on the list at all.

I find it peculiar that none of the items delivered today were on the list at all as far as I knew, until today. However, features that no customer really needs -such as "refer a friend" remain Scheduled (on the 'most important ' list for how long now?) , but have yet to draw any meaningful support from the people supposedly being represented by the Product Owner.

Why not just send us a periodic Survey Monkey and then stack rank the features based on what customers actually desire?, or stop teasing us with a list of things we vote for but we won't seemingly ever get, and just do the features you're going to do anyway?

ambrosia - Thanks for you comments regarding industry sectors. With such a big application you find something useful/new regularly. Although, would love to be able to find the best performing sectors over periods e.g weekly, monthly etc as you can do with stocks. That way you could spot the sector rotation we've had recently far easier.

Very much agree on this point. These UI improvements, while nice are not ones I have seen anyone clamouring for particularly.

I did have a look at this new feature today but can't really see an advantage over the old site which has top movers and all shares not just the top ones.

I looked at IG Group (LON:IGG) which is now a Superstock but on the Stockopedia print feature it only has March 1st, February 15th and December, 26th available.
I thought on the new site these prints were going to be more frequent as weekly, they used to be monthly now the gaps are wider?

I think the prints change when the ranks change, hense there is no weekly or monthly changes Herbie.

The overall changes are great, and at long last ,the Nasdaq Composite appears to be working at long last.

I was having to go back & forward to Hargreaves to keep checking it out.

So much easier now, all on one page.

Regarding the % age rise/fall, you only have to click on the share to get either the bid price or the offer price and if you want to deal then this can be different again on fast mouving shares. The % age differance is usually quite small.

Hmmm, just checked Burford Capital (LON:BUR) and it has the same dates as IG Group (LON:IGG). As you can see there are gaps recently but before October 2020, it was on a monthly basis.

But looking at Volex (LON:VLX) there are no prints this year but 4 on the 28th December, 2020, what is going on? I find the prints useful to see how the Stockreports have changed, I hope they are not being got rid of. Saga (LON:SAGA) last print is 3rd October, 2020 .

I think monthly should be the maximum time between each print.

As for HL they don't have live prices on US shares and last week the prices were about 24 hours behind. IG have live prices on US shares, I don't use HL anymore for US shares, too expensive.

On some UK shares the spreads are wider, I was looking at PCI- PAL (LON:PCIP) yesterday, on here it was -5.6%, one minute and then -0.5% the next. If my folio moves up or down, I want to know which shares are moving it, I don't want to be clicking on every share, to see what the change is, it should be on the folio screen. If it was based on bid prices or even mid prices you would not get this constant change when a share is bought or sold.

PCI-PAL does still have a large spread.

If your folio screen is running and you want to know which shares are causing it to move up or down, then it is easy to spot the shares that are causing it to happen. If you have a few shares with large spreads , then you can look closer into the individual share in more detail and check your stops.

I still have issues with HL not giving correct US prices & with larger holdings it can make the portfolio quite scary to see big swings happening, until you find which share is causing it. Even at close of business the auctions can run on for about 10 minutes and the price can alter from close to 10 minutes later.

There is still a fault with the Nasdaq Composite not showing correct today.

Can somebody please fix it!

I have a similar hickup with BSE today going XD, but am aware of the large spread, so can click to get the bid price if I really want to.

Well I like the share price that is shown to be the bid price, as that is what the valuation of the folios is set to. A lot of the price movements are misleading, as they are based on the last price, which could be a buy or a sell and no I don't just have a few shares in my folios. Many of those shares that say + or - 5% are not correct, the shares may not have moved at all.

The % change sort order appears to be broken today (not for the first time, this is an issue that seems to recur every so often).

Cheers,

Hi Neil, we are looking into it. It looks to be caused by a sorting error, we should have it fixed shortly.

BaysideBlue

I see that Real time and Level 2 Data is a feature that has sat under "In Consideration" for over 2 years now. I would love to see that added so that I could migrate off my current supplier. Any update on when/if we might get real time pricing data? Thanks!

Perhaps I'm too reasonable but to date most changes have been very positive. Of course there are things I would prefer but I accept that I am one of many.

Let's be grateful we have a great platform which is under continuous positive development!
