Trading 212 is one of the best investing apps out there, but the frictionless design that makes it so easy to use also makes it easy to get wrong. After 6+ years on the app and £100,000+ invested, here are the 11 Trading 212 mistakes I see beginners make most, some cost you in unnecessary tax, some drag on your long-term returns, and a couple are just borderline stupid. Let's fix them.
In this video I break down the most common Trading 212 mistakes beginners make, from portfolio duplication and copying community pies blindly, to picking the wrong account (Stocks & Shares ISA vs General Investment Account), the wrong ETF dividend option (Distributing vs Accumulating), hedged vs unhedged funds, hidden fund fees (OCF), leaving cash idle in your ISA, and confusing share price with actual company value.
Whether you're just getting started with Trading 212 or you've been investing for a while and want to check your portfolio for these mistakes, this video will help you invest with more confidence and avoid the errors that cost beginners the most.

I’m considering having just VALL and VAUS and clearing out the rest
I own s & p 500 from Vanguard, so should I avoid buying the All World from Vanguard? or its ok to own both of them?
If I have cash, sat in my stocks and shares ISA, is this subject to tje new tax grab from April 2027?
I will always have cash sat on there because I put in more than my autoinvest actuslly invests
