RE: what brokers do you use to trade7 Feb 2019 07:20
DT the only thing I had a moan at HL about is that say you got 10000 shares then you sell half
Then buy back in again the figures in the gain and loss column for the monetary side of things don’t work the average out correctly so you have to keep a manual check on a spreadsheet to know your exact average and percentage gain.
When I questioned them on it they said the average is worked out on all the trades you have done assuming you’ve had an open position on that stock, if the position is closed completely it will start from scratch, so be careful and keep track of all your trades manually as the figure in the profit box might not be what it really is.
I hope you all understand what I’m saying guys.
