Using DeGiro

tod1982

Hi All,

Quick question on using DeGiro when buying a share.

I have always used Goodbody in the past but due to the lower costs have decided to open an account with DeGiro. I am a long term investor and any stock I have bought I have owned for a number of years.

I was looking at buying a company's shares on DeGiro, to hold long term but am getting confused with type and order duration.
To buy these shares at the current market price and have them added to my portfolio what should i select for a) type and b) duration

Thanks

I attempted a transfer into DeGiro a couple of months ago and got an email saying that they were not accepting transfers at that time.

Thanks, hopefully that is still not the case. Did it take long for them to respond? It's been nearly a week now sice I emailed them.

Do you have a custody account?

No, I don't.

Cheers. I was wondering if that was a possible reason. They are less favourable to custody accounts, but this wasn't the reason in this case.

Perhaps I should have added for clarity, that they said if I replied to the email, they would notify me when the policy changed back again.

Can I ask what's your experience of using Margin to buy shares through DeGiro?

Don't buy unless I've got the cash.

I am a rather happy user of Degiro

it tells me at 8 a.m.what my portfolio is worth, showing the price of my only share. Though the site tells me the prices are 15 mins behind. I dont know if I can trade before 08.15.What my question is really is ,amI buying at the actual time, the site shows bid offers and sale offers.

The site shows the total number of shares traded at any time ,but it appears to be just the number traded with them.

For Nasdaq or anything showing on Degiro 15mins delayed you are still buying/selling at the current market rate. Imagine if you could buy sell knowing 15 minutes in advance.

I use Yahoo Finance or similar to get RT positions. But, you can also pay for RT within DeGiro... I don't know what the monthly cost is though.

Does DeGiro reimburse you the negative rate upto €2.5k on deposit with the new Flatex bank ?

Hi, Bough some shares and it was put through as two transactions by DeGiro. Is this normal? And how can you stop it happening? Thanks

We're you charged a fee twice?

Yeah it's normal, It just means they went through at 2 different prices, as there weren't enough shares available at the lower price (but they were all under your max price regardless). You only get charged one commission rate.

Can anyone explain how the 'manual' currency handling works in DeGiro? I am mostly trading US equities. When I liquidate US equity positions I would like the option to keep the cash in USD until the euro weakens again.
It's not clear to me how this works - webtrader says residual balance goes into Morgan Stanley FundShare cash funds.

I asked a similar question above. Since I've read something along the lines that a USD accoount will open up. Bear in mind that when automatic the charge is 10 basis points off spot, when manual it involves a different charge. I didn't look up the actual charge.

I did search the thread before asking but used the wrong phrase.
So a USD fund opens up? Makes sense. Thanks!

Word of caution. Looking at a particular share for a while and when the price dropped sharply yesterday morning decided to pounce. Because I hadn't traded that share before Degiro forced me to do a test. By the time I had finished the test the share had risen 10%, disgusted!!!:mad:

You think that's bad. They totally disabled by account for the best part of a week and to get the money refunded and resent to them added longer. I don't think it was taken well.

Every Degiro user should go to Settings - Product Settings - and ensure they have Standard Shares and Complex Shares enabled. If you don't click it and do the tests. They have some fairly normal stocks classified as "Complex".

If you're doing Options etc do the tests for those too.

Don't know if it's new, but you place your order the same as if the market is open.

You can place orders, but they won't be fulfilled until markets open

So if you set USD to manual, from autofx, and sell your shares, it will retain the proceeds of the sale as dollars until whatever date you wish to exchange?
