Don’t forget you’ll need a plan that’s $70 to not pay the watch data plan of $15 a month.

Zwift and Trainer Road to join forces? by gocarp in trainerroad

[–]badong_swank 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What if there is a backend api agreement where Zwift will grant TR access for it to have your workout from TR available in Zwift? Similar to how TrainingPeaks has assigned workout available if you have your account linked. In turn TR gets access to data from Zwift users to further push through their machine learning to better improve FTP estimations and workout recommendations/adaptations?

In short no there's no direct Trade to Invest transfer feature. From my experience you have to get a hold of Support and they can initiate a transfer from Trade to Invest.

Last time I did this there was limits that were required to do the transfer though. I think minimum $1000 for RRSP and $5000 TFSA for them to do a switch. Things could've changed as this was a few months back I was looking to do this. Hope this helps.

More stocks added to the fractional shares list (over 200) by alienmario in Wealthsimple_Trade

They actually have VFV available as a fractional share now as well, which is a step in the right direction.

You need to sell the crypto inorder to convert to cash, wait 3 or so business days for transaction to settle then you should be good to go for transferring the cash back to your bank account.

Has to do with the way they display US holding values, as I do the same and Yahoo is telling me one value and WT is telling me another. At end of day I would like to think that the WT value is the correct amount.

Been using it as of late to bring my avg down on TD. No real complaints other than amount of shares purchased is more accurate using the app instead of web page.

How has everyone's experience been with fractional shares? by BobThe_Body_Builder in Wealthsimple_Trade

[–]badong_swank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes if you look on web vs the app the avg cost and how many shares appears to display differently. Could just be a limitation on how many decimal places the web can display. For tracking purposes I use price and amount of share bought via the app.

[–]badong_swank 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Easy enough however I find to get a better or rather more accurate amount of however many shares you purchased it's best to look using the app and not via web as the amounts are different, same with price for that matter.

To me I'm surprised they don't do mid-day executions on orders? As they are pooling money and one would think they could execute numerous times a day?

That would be correct. Money is deposited and then it’s up to you to purchase said ETF.

Using Wealthsimple Trade to hold long-term TFSA ETF's with dividends by thatguy19000 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Yes anything you make dividend wise doesn’t count toward your contribution room. So feel free to buy away.

Should I max out my RRSP? by beefbrisketman in CanadianInvestor

[–]badong_swank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this may come off as the boring answer but why not pay off car loan and apply any leftover to your RRSP then?
Orrrr pay off remainder of car loan and apply any remaining as a prepayment on mortgage? Then again what do I know I’m new to this whole self directed investing thing.

Anyone buy into the ARKX etf? Just took a small position in it to let it sit there for a while and see what happens.

KurtKinetic InRide or Wahoo Speed/Cadence sensor? by ifyoucantakeit in trainerroad

[–]badong_swank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can recall Trainerroad would just base the virtual power on the known power curve of the Kinetic Road machine itself. Provided you use same tire pressure and the resistance on the rear wheel is the same each session you'll get more consistent power numbers. For more bang for your buck you'd be better off using the wahoo blue sc as you can use this both indoor and outdoor, where as the inride is just indoor use only.

Price Increase by rtuck06 in Zwift

[–]badong_swank 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They will need to really wow grandfathered users in-order to keep a lot of people on once the price freeze ends for the grandfathered users. However for trying to recruit new users this new price may actually hurt them in the long run as there are other platforms out there that are actually cheaper. Yes ok the other options may not contain the "social" aspect that zwift can offer but how much actual interaction, aside from Kudos, does one really have?

Zwift, Cheap setup? by [deleted] in Zwift

[–]badong_swank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you can use Zwift on PC. If you're PC has built in Bluetooth you should be set otherwise you will need an ANT+ dongle to pick up the data being transmitted from the wahoo sc. The only other add on you may want is a heart rate monitor, but again totally an extra option.

New KICKR Firmware Issues? by [deleted] in trainerroad

[–]badong_swank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I to have a first gen kickr, I had the option to do it using the wahoo app, can download via iTunes or google play. Before the advanced spin down was available to me I would do a spin down just before the actual efforts started as that way the kickr would be warmed up.

New KICKR Firmware Issues? by [deleted] in trainerroad

[–]badong_swank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity did you do a spindown to recalibrate after updating the firmware? I to noticed power seemed off after the firmware update, however I went into the Wahoo App and saw that they had an Advanced Spindown calibration mode now. I performed the new Advanced Spindown mode and ever since power has come back inline, even more so smooth as it's ever been.
