New to the game, long time investment

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all good.

I’m planning to do pie long time investment, a 250£ per week, as I’m based in the UK. Basically I’m pretty sure I can afford that much weekly but if I feel financial pressure I will get it down to 200£, but this is in the case but let’s start on 250£.

I have seen many opinions that I should start with SP500 - VUAG, but on the other hand have seen people giving an idea to diversify into world for example or some small % to the gold.

I have two questions; as I’m using trading212, for example if someone mentioned ticker VT is that means on my app/market(UK) VT will be exactly the same like in USA market for example?

Another question what do you think what strategy on my place would be the best with % allocation and any ideas what to look for?

Thank you so much!
