First the price you see isnt the sell price. Its the mid price…which is higher.

So youll lose something to the sell price… maybe 0.2-0.5%…more if its a low volume stock.

Then youll lose a small amount for FOREX charge…maybe 45p per Ā£100.

Plus the price isn’t live…so will depend on price movements…may be beneficial, may not be.

All profit and holdings are a rough guide only.

There definitely is

I see so there no way of knowing the actually price until it’s actually sold…

No really. it does say ā€˜est’ next to the sale order.

Just had a look at some sales from a while back. FX of 0.45%. Small amount so didnt notice but suppose if you’re trading regularly it ads up.

Not to the penny, no.

Don’t let any of that put you off…its just the intricacies of any market place.

Just remember, profit / loss percentage and sales are all estimates until settled.

Hey everyone you know usa stocks since I’m now starting to buy them from here on out.

The 15% tax is this the tax on profits? Or is this just 15% on the full sale even if it’s a loss etc? Do I need to calculate this before I press sell or is my profit showing the profits with the 15% tax taken off?

I’m guessing FX fees are hidden as well and that’s a manual calculation I need to do to make sure I’ll be in profit before a sale? Or is this also deducted.

ā€œYou will be charged withholding tax (WHT) of 15% on dividends or income earned through the US shares.ā€

Found this but if anyone wants to add some more information that would be good, thanks
