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 am currently using auto fx, if I want to change to manual is the best thing to sell my USD positions, convert the euro proceeds to dollars manually and then buy back the positions? Is it quick enough to do this? The amounts involved would be enough to negate the €10 charge for the manual currency conversion. Thanks

Update on this - clarification received. The Out of Hours only works for shares you have bought through that particular exchange, so to trade Out of Hours you need to buy all your stocks through that more expensive method or... just go with Interactive Brokers 🙄

The other thing is that it doesn't cover all the companies. So, two Mehs from me.

my advice is do not use Degiro and here is why..

I opened an account a few years ago and supplied my passport and other requested documentation, everything was fine, I traded.

After a few years my account was locked from Trading because my previously valid passport had expired!

Passport office was closed for a long time due to COVID and Degiro would not allow me to access trade or use my funds without a current passport.

I had satisfied them day 1 as to my identity and nowhere did the T&C's state that I had to maintain an in date passport.

I have lost out financially on a lot of trades during my lock out.

I am exploring my legal options.

Extended hours from 07:00 to 21:00 covers all the US and Europe. It's pretty extensive, but I think they've aborted it again. I emailed them a few days ago about it, but haven't heard anything back from them.

It's front and back of Drivers Licence not your passport 😁

Sorry for the newbie question but I havent been able to find the information online. I registered for an account a while back and never went back to complete it.

I went in this week to finish the process and they have asked for my ID, front and back of passport but only allow one file upload. I have tried uploading one of each side and also combining the images into 1 file but with no joy, I've emailed them but heard nothing, anybody got any tips?

I saw it yea, but it said extended trading hours were 07:00 to 21:00, I guess that means only extended hours for sone European stock markets?

Degiro mentioned being able to trade pre and post market hours. Anybody try it yet?

transfered money from Bank of ireland this morning. its in de giro now

used be next day

RedRochey

Does anyone know how often the cash reports are updated? Last one I have is up to end of April

rugbyman

For some months Degiro did not update any Bank of ireland s.p. changes until evening.
They have now reverted to the old way with relatively up to the minute data.
you can also see what the bid offer prices are, this was absent for along while

Care to share the process? How close was the "Available to trade" to €0?

Do they give you a few days to lodge more money or sell the shares you want, or is there some algorithm that decides what shares get liquidated?

Here's what they sent me

Your DEGIRO account has a negative free scope of 3,611.58 EUR.

Please clear the deficit immediately. If you have not cleared this deficit before 30-06-2021 16:00 CE(S)T. DEGIRO will close positions on your behalf and create a positive free space. DEGIRO charges costs for this.

If the Risk is equal to or higher than 125% of the Net Liquidation Value, DEGIRO provides a 1-hour deadline to resolve the deficit. If you have not cleared this deficit within the deadline, DEGIRO may decide to close positions in order to eliminate this deficit and create a positive free space. DEGIRO charges costs for this

What really pissed me off is when I rang them they said sorry that was a mistake

" Thank you for your call.
I confirm that the email that you received today, previous to this call regarding a margin call, can be ignored. At the time of this email your free space is not negative and there is no need for us to close some of your positions.

We apologize for the inconvenience. "

Happened to me previously as well when they lowered the rating of some of my shares at the same time.

Think it was 2 days to lodge money or they would sell shares, didn't say which shares. I would imagine the shares Degiro rate lower get sold first as to sell the higher rated shares would have a knock on effect of severely lowering your margin.

The available to trade was below zero, think it was 20/30 quid under when it was triggered.

Hi all, having trouble finding a concrete answer to this question - does anyone know when degiro charges connectivity fees ? My understanding it is 2.50 per stock exchange you are invested in? Is the amount deducted as soon as you make an initial investment or deducted on a certain date each year ?

For 2021 they charged me €2.50 per exchange on 31/1/2021.
For 2020 they charged me €0.93 on 1/5/2020, €1.41 on 1/6/2020 and €0.16 on 1/7/2021.
My first investment was in April 2020 so that could be the reason for the weirdness in 2020.

Ah sorry I misread your question.

I think this should give you what you are looking for:
- in the App, go to the Portfolio tab
- On the top-right, you should have a download icon (an arrow pointing down at an horizontal line)
- If you click on the icon you can select a date and then click on the PDF, CSV, or XLS button
- you should get a file with a simple list of your holdings as of the date you have selected

What exactly are you looking for? Your holdings on a specific date?

If so, just export your portfolio to excel (or csv or pdf etc). On the export option, it will ask you for the date, and will export your portfolio as it stood on that date.
