Your own portfolio and performance improvements
This release features two milestones:
- My portfolio – you can trade with your private cash
- PHP-free UI – the website relies on html, css and js only and hence reacts faster
My Portfolio
Your own portfolio offers a variety of new possibilities. Despiting the ability to trade with the money you have earned as a CEO stocks of your newly founded companies are transferred to your own portfolio.
The former user page is separated into five subpages now. The first shows some information about the user and his employments. ‚My Portfolio‘ leads to the new personal portfolio. ‚Account Statement‘, ‚Polls‘ and ‚Found company‘ hold the boxes which were shown on the old user page.
Chat messages sent by yourself and all clearly personal pages like your own portfolio and your user page for example share the same background color in order to give you certainty about being in a personal or corporate context without the need to check the sidebar.
Private investors can be found in the securities‘ shareholders page.
For portfolios that do not contain any repos the repos chart is not displayed anymore.
PHP-free UI
What has started with the beginnning of the last release has now come to an end: The website is driven via JavaScript only. Additionally several measurements were taken in order to improve the site’s performance:
- Minimized HTML, CSS, JS and images with a new gulp.js build
- New templating engine
- Use of CDNs for all external libraries
- Heavy caching of all assets (HTML, CSS, JS and images)
- Usage of minified CSS and JS for external libraries only
New URI scheme
A new URI scheme got implemented. There is no need of „/en/“ or „/de/“ in the addresses anymore. Old URLs still do work however. They are redirected to match the new URI scheme.
The error page got a makeover. It offers you 3 ways to deal with the error you have experienced. You can try it out by yourself.
It lets you send an email with your email app in case anything does not work anymore. It shows a scene from The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).
Every page has an own title now to prevent you getting lost with several open windows or tabs.
You can find the dev and nightly branch under new addresses (the old ones are redirected too):
Pillow Tabs
The two usages of tabs are replaced with pillow tabs for more clean rendering.
Notifications and the login/registration page now use pillow tabs.
Alpha Bank Shortcut
It is now possible to get to the Alpha Bank via the sidebar.
Improved Order Page
Placing an order moved up in the sidebar to make clear that it is the same page for your own and for a corporate portfolio.

The backbground color changes when you select ‚My Portfolio‘ to ensure you with which portfolio you are placing this order.
The form got a slight makeover to make it clear which options were chosen.
