[image] Updating maximum order and position sizes (Invest/ISA) On the 19th of August, we’ll update the maximum order and position sizes for all stocks. Existing positions will not be reduced. You can find the estimated maximum order and position sizes, quant... …

You could average down on another platform, which only encourages 212 users to potentially exit. Not that it effects me but I don’t get the rationale. Are you suggesting transferring the positions away from Trading 212? Trading 212 do not support that so I don’t see how I can average down on my o…
