Short answer
Breakeven works out the exact price you can sell your GSE shares at without losing money after every fee, and emails you when the close reaches levels you choose. It's free for one stock.
Most investors know what they paid for a share. Fewer know the price they need to sell at to get that money back, because brokerage and levies come off on the way in and again on the way out. Breakeven works that price out for you, to the pesewa.
What it does
- Shows your break-even for every holding, after every fee, and a second one counting dividends.
- Lets you try a sale before you make it: what you'd receive, the fee tier and the profit or loss.
- Finds the exact price for the profit you want, after fees.
- Emails you when the close reaches a level you set.
Getting started
Upload your account statement from the IC Wealth app and tick the stocks to track. Every trade comes in with the charges IC applied. You can also enter trades by hand.
What it isn't
Breakeven doesn't tell you what to buy or sell, doesn't place trades and never holds your money. It shows facts about your own holdings so your decisions are informed ones.
