I've not kept up with developments but on opening the loan exchange for the first time I have some superficial suggestions. Apologies if these have already been raised etc... - default to display all loans (number of loans to display filter has gone) - an old chestnut! - add column sort - expand the filters to include stuff specific to your account (e.g. holding, your bids/offer) - reduce the blank space between loans - reduce the need for scrolling - reduce number of rows per loan. Currently 4 rows but can you reduce to 3 or even 2 to be able to fit more loans in the same area. I've got to say that my first impressions were oh no yet another interface to learn but that's not fair. It looks smart and no doubt brings improvements. The most important aspect being that ABL are still developing - it's always a tad concerning when easy to fix bugs remain in place on a platform! Thank you for your feedback... we are still working on the interface, keep the suggestions coming

Some questions on the items in the 'Loan Information' panel for a specific loan displayed on the ASMX:
1. What is the source of the Rating Number (1-100) and Letter (A-E) and how recent are these? (It would be helpful if the date on which these values have been assessed is displayed.)
2. What is the basis & method for computing the 'Odds of Failure' and 'Probability of Default' ? Again, what is the date of the data on the basis of which these have been computed?

I think 'automatic matching' was mentioned somewhere as a feature of the ASMX?
Does this mean that if a 'Good till cancelled' sell order is placed with a specified price, then any existing bids at or better than this specified price will be matched immediately and the remaining amount of the order (if any) will be placed in the offer queue?

In the 'old' secondary market one could sort the loans listed in the ascending or descending order of the bid or offer price.
Can a similarly ordered list be viewed on the ASMX?

Hi This data is brough into the system from Creditsafe as per the existing system (Company Trading Report) www.creditsafe.com/gb/en/credit-risk/credit-reports/company-credit-reports.htmlIt is updated each month.

The sliders sort dynamically in interest rate and months remaining I agree, sorting on the old SM is a feature I am missing. Filtering is not quite the same thing.

I'm using Firefox 81.0.2 and even with the apparently correct address entered in the Pop up blocker options, it's no dice. Not surprising really as Pop ups are a bad idea usually as they used to offer a method of browser hijacking and browsers are set up to prevent that.
Second, the page you land on shows lots of useful information but not what you really need - the TITLE of the loan. The first two loans on the list I'm looking at are titled "Property Developm..." which is very unhelpful. If you happen to know the loan number, things look up a bit. You have lots of spaceon the web page so the full loan title shouldn't be a problem.
Third, the ability to sort (or filter) by bid and offer is very important to me.

Same issue for me - depending on the nature of my enquiry, I need to be able to sort on the basis of any/all data fields.
Multiple levels of data sorting/filtering preferred (eg filter 'amortised' loans only then sort by best 'offer')

Yes, on a 'Good till Cancelled' you will be matched at your price for the amount that is available and a bid/offer will be placed for the rest (same as a fill and wait)

I am right if I have say £36.00 available and make a bid for £36.50 that has a total cost including interest of £36.00 or less it is rejected because the bid is higher than the initial funds? If so this is a backward step from the old system.
