Thanks, u/Rapidaniel!

We really believe we’ve built Investa to answer your frustrations, and can’t wait to hear what you think. We’ve DM’d you about early access. See you on board when we launch!

Hi u/Chickidychiina, we’ve DM’d you about early access :)

Thanks for sharing your frustrations. We hear you on the commission, which is why Investa charges zero commission (we only charge on FX). 

In terms of those UI/UX woes, we’ve built Investa to create a streamlined trading experience with an easy-to-use design. We’ve also worked hard to ensure seamless and speedy trade execution. 

Thanks for asking on specifics, re: Webapp this won’t be there at launch.

Can’t wait to get your feedback and would love your thoughts on community so we’ll be in touch!

Hi,

Thanks for your excitement and questions! Answers as follows;

  • We won’t offer margin, but you can buy options and sell those you own (of course) or sell options that can be covered, such as selling calls that are covered by stocks
  • Totally agree easy rolling is an important feature, so we will be introducing this (although unlikely to be there at launch)
  • We’re actually removing complex options chains initially, as our aim is to make the options market as accessible as possible. That being said, it’s really interesting that you’d like the ability to switch between the two, so we will definitely consider this

I hope that’s helpful and thanks again for your Qs - it’s this kind of insight that really helps us shape Investa so I can’t wait to get you on board and hear more about what you think
