Just click on the drop down and then on events. Otherwise, I agree. I like the ACB placement, but I wish they'd update their UI.notenoughsleep wrote: ↑ Looks like they updated the interface. Not a huge fan...it's nice it shows your ACB next to the current price, but they got rid of showing the dividend from the dropdown menu which sucks.

What a unmitigated disaster is the new UI of the Trading Dashboard.notenoughsleep wrote: ↑ Looks like they updated the interface. Not a huge fan...it's nice it shows your ACB next to the current price, but they got rid of showing the dividend from the dropdown menu which sucks.

I'm also having trouble liking this new RBC trading dashboard. It seems very awkward. I can not easily bring up watchlists or change workspaces without several clicks. Why not make watchlists as tabs with one click access? I am constantly changing charts back to my preferred settings and the drawing tools are useless. It has promise but needs a lot of work. For now I will chart using Webull, monitor stocks with yahoo, and analysis with Koyfin. They are much better platforms.
PS the platform has crashed several times on me in my first hour.
Ok after, further testing.... its a big useless mess. I can not fit in a combinations of widgets on a single page to make a useful screen. This problem doesn't happen with other platforms. I wonder if stock traders or investors tested this platform before release.
Please keep old dashboard. Its bad but easy to use with watchlists.

I'm annoyed that RBC has been rejecting my sell limits of 5 digits+. Regardless of what side of the meme stock situation you're on, I find it ridiculous that they are basically telling me that I cannot put a certain price I want to sell for.
I called them and the agent said "Just put an alert for when/if the stock reaches that price and put in sell order at market price". If I have no faith in the system before we get there, how can I trust it will let me do it once it happens. Honestly I just want to vent cause it is frustrating.

Anyone else have RBCDI credit the wrong dividend amount?
I hold an ADR and the dividend that they credited me is less than is reported.
When I contacted them they brushed me off with a spiel about withholding taxes but they credited the wrong amount BEFORE withholding taxes. The "gross dividend" was wrong.

Margin should be based on stock and not cash. I think you need to make your first purchase with the cash your currently have and then they will show you margin to buy more.topkekbro wrote: ↑ i recently got my margin account approved but when i check the margin excess it shows $0 and its saying i dont have enough "margin excess" to make a purchase when i try to put up an order despite me having cash in the account and never borrowed on margin before.

IMO, if you have less than 50k cash, you shouldn't go over cash by more than 10% because if your stock drops, you will get margin called.

Forgot to mention that I have stocks already on my account so not sure why it’s still showing $0 ? Maybe it only updates during market hours ?icedtea365 wrote: ↑ Margin should be based on stock and not cash.

WTF? RBC DI is showing my investment account is $200k higher than it was on Friday? But my intraday change is showing only +$14k? Some sort of calculation error? Have to print screen and go over my holdings later tonight, but just weird... when I first saw the balance I thought one of my small caps had exploded, but everything looks normal.

Hello everyone. I want to ask if this has happened to anyone else here. I checked my DI account yesterday when they were doing maintenance on it and I looked and it said my margin excess is $-16,000. I even put in $270 into this account too. Is this a glitch in the system or something? Did this happen to anyone else here?

If I recall correctly RBC was one of the first major banks to lower trading fees years ago.
