I’d love to see a historical chart for the cash balance in my Trade Republic account.

Right now, I can see my current cash balance, but there’s no easy way to see how that balance has changed over time.

Something as simple as a line chart showing cash balance over time..

This would be particularly useful for people who use Trade Republic as both a broker and a cash account, especially when earning interest on uninvested cash.

I know of no bank/broker that does this particularly well, but I think it would be a really useful addition to the app.

Anyone else would like that?

It would also make it much easier to understand how much cash you’ve actually accumulated over time without having to export transactions and calculate it yourself.

Trade Republic team: if someone from the team sees this, could you please forward it as a feature request? 🙏

I think it would be a relatively simple feature that would add a lot of value.

Hi everyone,
I’m quite new to investing and I’m trying to understand how bonds work, especially on Trade Republic.

I’ve been looking at both government and corporate bonds with 1–2 years to maturity, but I’m struggling to see the appeal compared to simply leaving my cash in the Trade Republic cash account earning the ECB rate.

Most of the EUR bonds I find seem to yield around 2–3%, with only a few (like some Romanian government bonds) getting closer to 3.5%. At the same time, the cash account remains liquid and automatically adjusts if the ECB raises rates.

So I have a few questions:
Am I missing something about why someone would buy these bonds instead of just keeping cash in Trade Republic?

Are there any particularly attractive bonds currently available on Trade Republic that I should look into?
Is the main benefit of buying a bond that you can lock in today’s yield in case interest rates fall?

If I want bond exposure, is it generally better to buy individual bonds and hold them until maturity, or buy a bond ETF/fund? If so, is a target-maturity bond ETF usually preferable to a regular bond ETF with no maturity date?

I’m not looking for investment advice, just trying to understand how more experienced investors think about this. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a D-serial Rolex Submariner 16610 that, according to the warranty card, was sold in October 2006. It came with a Rolex 30.00.02 presentation box.

I’m trying to find out if this is the correct period/original box for a watch sold at that time, or if it should have come with a different reference (such as 30.00.71, 30.00.04, etc.).

If anyone owns an original 2006 D-serial full set or has reliable information, I’d really appreciate your help. It would be very helpful to know which box reference your watch came with.
