GBP is my base currency. I mostly trade in USD, and rarely in EUR or GBP, and very rarely in HKD.

I am not a regular trader. If I throw them my koinly or cointracker report of 800 crypto transactions and my IB report of 250 transactions, would it work out within 200-300 quid and do they provide any guarantees on accuracy (assuming of course I have given them the right report)?

Where can I find these in IB? I only see direct FX transactions in my IB trading confirmations, so I've been creating these transactions in my calculations myself. Should I use flex queries to get these?

For regular stock positions in cash accounts HMRC insist that selling and buying prices are calculated in GBP first before calculating profit. My understanding for stock positions in margin accounts (for eg, a USD denominated stock) is that the USD profit is taken first and then converted to...

This is in line with the point OP was making. Hardware 1000x better, even software is better, but then notepad could take ages to load. Rust has joined the chat. Gosh, which developer gets that much?

Okay, 400000(trades)/(6.5(hrs)*3600(seconds/hr)) ~ 17 trades/sec , which is roughly in line with the 10-15 figure we calculated above. That is around 58 milliseconds per trade, not fast by machine standards, but reckon there would be other stocks that dwarf this speed. Yes, and I guess when SPY...

I haven't used the IB library myself, and am not sure what you mean by 'server' in this context, but as far as I understand the buffer size is meaningful (at least theoretically in this context) to manage the situation where data can come in bursts and pauses, and the buffer size should be large...

Ah, as I was looking into the report, it looks like this maybe a problem with the proceeds/costs calculations for the options support in the fork. I think I understand what costs/proceeds are now. Oh, and I did have an accidental short, as well as GBP.USD shorts implicitly from holding USD cash...

Thanks @globalarbtrader . I needed this as I exceeded the threshold last year, but not anything large enough to justify paying an accountant. Apparently someone forked and updated this for options, python3, CSV FX (I had to hack it a bit to get it to work though) etc, here at (...
