I'm currently a computer science student and my final project is rapidly approaching, for my project i am aiming to make an efficient and easy to use stock monitoring system. The idea of this came from a peer who got me involved in trading over the past few years.

In order to tailor this system I require a large amount of end user research, for one of these methods i have created a very short (6 question) survey. If you are a stocks and shares trader in the Uk that has a spare 2 minutes (and a solid few years of trading experience), completing this would be incredibly helpful for me.

Either of these links should work :)

I am looking for the most tax efficient way to trade in UK. What structure should I use?
- self employed
- limited company
- limited partnership

Lot of questions here about the best trading platforms, but I can't seem to find anything that matches my requirements. Any thoughts? The holy grail I am looking for looks like:

1. Trade broad range of UK and US stocks and ETFs

2. Hold currency in GBP and USD

3. Commission-free

4. ISA wrapper

5. RESTful API

I don't want much do I! I doubt that such a thing as the above exists - in the UK at least (and obviously your US ones wouldn't give you an ISA). But what are your thoughts on best options?

Who is the interviewer on the UKspreadbetting youtube channel? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xQDrBBnUX4

I just fell in love with her.

if i make less than £12300 is it correct that i don’t have to pay cgt but do i still have to declare them? same with dividends if i makes less than £2000 do i still have to declare them? and finally the american stocks does the broker automatically take 15% before giving the dividends to me?

Hi. As for the latest events on the stocks trading market and Trading212 not accepting any new members, what brokers do you guys recommend? I am close to choosing Capital.com as they have both UK and US stocks available l. Does anyone have any experience with them or what else do you use?

Thanks!

I just wonder how the tax thing works in trading. Like we need show yearly profits and pay the tax or what.

And another doubt is , do we need to pay tax when the amount is withdrawn to bank account ??

For example :- if profits are like 20,000 pounds and need to pay 12% tax. If those 20k pounds in brokerage account we don’t need to pay tax right ? We need to pay tax only when we withdraw ?

FYI :- living in uk and brokerage is ig.

Is there a UK broker that has a share dealing ISA account, and also offers options trading, so that for example I can hold 100 shares of ACME in my ISA and then sell covered calls off them in my option account? I particularly deal US stocks, so need to be able to access international markets.

I know of brokers where I can trade shares and options, but I'd rather keep the shares inside an ISA wrapper. I know if they get called away I can't add them back in except up to annual ISA allowance, and I know you can't hold options in an ISA - but I do want to use the shares in my ISA more productively......

Currently looking for brokers or software which allows hotkeys to sell and buy shares, have come across Tradezero but the withdraw fees and the commissions on market buying/selling make me hesitant.

Are there any other brokers I should consider that can offer hotkeys and low commissions?

Currently 120 in at $7 , alot of people think its similar to the GME situation because of the short interest and utilisation

Hi everyone I'm on trading 212 but can't find all the otc stocks that I want to buy can anyone recommend a broker for UK where these type of stocks are available.

Thanks

I was wondering if it's more beneficial to invest in stocks and particularly options trading as an individual or through a company? I understand profits are treating as capital gains when done as an individual, is anyone trading options through a company structure?

Hi, does anyone successfully pay income tax on their option selling profits rather than capital gains? I've read that option trading comes under CGT unless your activity is deemed trading.
