Framing & UX Design
Most things can be framed in various ways
The frame itself affects perception and decision outcomes

Ubiquitous financial info
The non-stop flow of information makes people use their apps and tools more. Human brains are wired to process, evaluate and react to information, and the more data fed to your brain about your investments, the more likely you are to react, when just standing there would be better. Investors need to know that accessing their financial information all the time will break down their investment discipline and undermine their long-term plan.
