    I dont think it should trigger any alarms. If the money is in your account and you have saved it through lawful means it's nobody else's business what you do with it.

    Within europe its a standard fee for up to 12.5k (was 75cent last time I did it but it might have changed recently I think).
    I shouldnt think it should cost you more than 20 euro or so anyway. Just go to the foreign exchange desk and ask them.

    A large transaction like this may be reported to Revenue under money-laundering regulations.

    When the irish currency was around I transferred £15,000 to a us online broker aswell through the bank and no questions were asked. If the money is legit in your account you have no worries.

    Opps of course if you make money with that money in dealing with shares you'll be liable for CGT or income tax depending on how frequently you trade.
