Given the mad swings of the market in the current Iran/USA/Israel debacle I am starting to wonder if it might be worth paying for live trades rather than daily or twice daily dealing deadlines. I am mainly looking to add to my SIPP, and at the moment I'm dropping in £500 to VAFTGAG OIEC (dealt once a day) and £500 (morning or evening trade) into VEUA ETF. I'm doing this daily. I would be happy to replace VAFTGAG with 90% VWRP plus a 10% small cap so that I could use ETFs instead. I would also up the trade amount to £1,000 or even £2,000 for each if we get some dips.
Other notes I'm UK based so trading in GBP.
I will be looking to put £40k into my SIPP in the next couple of months.
So, is it worth switching to live trades? And which platform would be most cost effective given the value of my single and collective trades and also that I'd rather trade within a SIPP and am paying in GBP? And anything else I've not thought of (of which I'm sure there are several things).
And yes, I have heard about time in the market not timing the market which feels like a sensible strategy in times of relative calm, not mad swings. TIA.
