> They are 15 Min behind the NY Stock Exchange, which is a bit uncomfy. I do not want to buy the subscription for live prices, so I just watch the price on [tradingview.com](http://tradingview.com) and then put them into CT. How are you guys setting the prices in CT?

I am a passive, long term buy & hold investor. I am not interested in intra-day-volatility. I just buy.

I have the exact same question, actually. on IB, I always calculate the number of shares separately, which is annoying and could be automated that easily.

Back when I was at CT, USD dividens were converted int CHF, losing 0.5% in commissions. buying back USD shares with USD costs another 0.5% → total 1% loss.  
I never found out if this could be fixed. maybe a call can help: “hey guys, please let me keep dividends as forex position in the according currency!”

> Following the tax discussion for ETF’s, where is VT taxed in CT (in Ireland as well)?

In US. I had VSS back then at CT, and CT had to deduct a full 30% of source tax from dividends

checkout [other people’s portfolios](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/mustachian-portfolios/108), for example [mine](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/mustachian-portfolios/108/72). however, VT on its own already is the ultimative one-fund-diversified-world-stocks-portfolio.
