Option to auto-invest on a specific time of day

I really enjoy Pearlers' auto-invest feature. Although, I have noticed when it comes to purchasing your allotment of shares. The auto-invest feature sets a buy purchase first thing when the market opens.
In the past, I have seen huge market fluctuations during first open and close the asx, and would be great to have an option to auto invest your purchases on a specific time of day - like 12pm.

Ryan Phelan thanks for this!
The time we place orders at the moment is 10:30am - so sufficiently long enough after market open to avoid most of the volatility you mention :)
We actually used to have our default time set for 12pm because that's the time when the market is most stable but our customers consistently got confused around 11am in the morning, and would try and place orders and move cash around, regardless of the comms we put in place, so moved to a time where less room for error & it's honestly been a lot better since!
Still, this is a very valid feature request & if there's a lot of interest we can definitely make this customisable.
