Investing consistently beats trying to time the market. Especially in a volatile market, removing emotions is the single best thing you can do. And the good news is — IBKR lets you fully automate this.
In this video, I walk you through the full setup from scratch: switching to Tiered Pricing for the lowest fees on small recurring orders, enabling UK trading permissions so you can buy tax-efficient ETFs like CSPX and VWRA, setting up eGIRO so your money automatically moves from your bank to IBKR every month, and finally creating a recurring investment so it flows straight into your portfolio. I also go through some things worth knowing — like how auto currency conversion can actually save you money compared to converting manually, and when it stops being worth it.
