NW forecast chart
Has anyone explored the new update yet? I'm curious if they've added the option to set custom growth rates in the NW forecast chart. It would be really helpful to tailor the forecasts more accurately to different financial scenarios.
04/09 Updates
Net Worth Forecast Chart: we now show all the growth rates on the chart at the same time and have updated the settings modal to be clearer to users
Real vs Nominal: we've added a Real vs Nominal toggle to the Net Worth Forecast, so you can see the effects of inflation on your retirement forecast
Bug Fix: we were notified that the investment chart was updating one day late. This has now been rectified
Add Revolut
For some reason Revolut isn't available?
Group Manual Stocks
I only use the platform for manual stocks - I can add them all but each individual stock reflects on the Accounts page as a separate account. Is it possible to be able to group these into one account? Else I am going to end up with 50+ accounts for the same broker
So glad you added new Currencies!
I was really looking forward to seeing new currencies added to the list, and you nailed it! I'm so happy I found Strabo. 😊

Bug in currency exchange?
My default currency is SGD and I have some mutual funds in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah). I created a Stocks & Shares account in Strabo and entered the numbers. I skipped the ticker simbol because Strabo cannot find my mutual funds, then click Save. The resulting balance of this account on the dashboard (in SGD) is wrong. Maybe it's a currency change bug.
Also, if I go to the edit window for this account, it seems like Strabo tries to find an asset with ticker symbol IDR (whatever that is).
Robo advisors
I have an investment account at a robo-advisor, which requires manual updating. What type of account is best for this?
The "Stock & Share" type requires me to input the unit and the price per unit. In my robo-advisor account, I don't control how my investment is spread to various assets.
The "Pension plan" type has a maturity date. My robo-advisor is not only for my pension. Even if it is, there is no maturity date as I can take out my money any time.
Should I choose "Alternatives"? This type requires me to input the current value and purchase value. I invest to my robo-advisor continuously so there is no single purchase.
I suppose in Strabo user interface, it's more like "Cash Account" although robo-advisors are investment accounts.
Any advice?
