It seems that the FX fee is not accounted for when calculating the Result in History popup for instruments and on holdings in charts. In this case, the gain during trading was the same as the Result in the History pop-up - £0.41. However, the Cash value was increased by £0.15, the difference between buy and sell Totals.
Due to the dynamic nature of the information in charts, I was unable to capture this issue during trading.
Hi Misoek, thanks for pointing this out. I’ve also come across the same issue. It took me quite a while to understand the relationship between the figures shown in the app order view and those in the downloaded CSV file.
Additionally, for HMRC’s CGT assessment, if I understand correctly, we’re required to report the realised profit or gain after deducting FX costs for both the purchase and sale of the stock, essentially, the net profit or loss.
Would Trading 212 consider introducing a feature that presents this information in a more intuitive and transparent way? It would really help users avoid having to work it all out manually.
