• What feature do you want to see in Sharesight?
More frequent time interval on the graph.
• Why do you want it?
I have been a ShareSight customer for 3 years and as such the gap in time between each ‘dot’ in my main graph is now up to two months, and continues to increase. Since the date of each historical dot changes all of the time, and markets do too, portfolio highs and lows are very inaccurately presented. Lots can happen in markets in two months so you lose a lot of information. The graph currently gives an overview of portfolio performance only in the broadest sense, which may be acceptable for a free tool but not for a paid portfolio tracking software solution.
For a tool like ShareSight visual representations of performance should be front and center. The graph is dated and not fit for purpose.
• How is this affecting you?
The graph doesn’t give me the information I want or even an accurate portrayal of my portfolio performance.
• Do you currently have a workaround solution? If yes, what is it?
No
• Can we reach out in future to ask follow up questions about this idea?
Yes

Hi @Erik1987nz, thanks for the suggestion. Currently we don’t have any plan to add more dot points to the graph but this may change down the line. The current workaround is to change the date option to reduce the gap between each dot point. Please let me know if you have any further question. Apologies for the inconvenience.
I agree – graph intervals too long. How does one see ones portfolio value on a particular date if you cant do this on the graph?
Hi @RickyYeo, any update on the roadmap for this feature request? In the three years since my last post, the interval between dot points on my chart have, unsurprisingly, grown even longer. There’s now 100 days between each one, meaning there are only 3 dot points per year now. ShareSight, if you can believe it, becomes less useful to me the longer I am a paying customer.
To provide an example, other than todays date, the most recent update to my chart is from 8 December. I’ll make up some numbers here, but let’s say my portfolio value was $100,000 on 8 December. Between 8 December to before Trumps tariff war started in February, my portfolio grew by 20%, to $120,000. Since then, my portfolio has re-traced back to $100,000. Thus, the story the chart tells is that my portfolio has been flat since 8 December. It fails entirely to visually display that there has been very high market volatility affecting my portfolio and that markets have entered into correction territory since then.
Please, please, please update your charts to something fit for a paid software solution in 2025.
