A nightmare come tax time

Update: the transactions weren’t showing up because Stake recently implemented a new system to generate tax reports directly but these reports only included data from 2020. The person who helped me was able to send me a separate csv file with the missing transactions which I uploaded to Sharesight and cleared the invalid holdings. When I got around to emailing Stake they responded in a timely manner and I was able to lodge my tax returns this afternoon. Thanks!

I’ve had a great experience trading with Stake up until recently when trying to do my taxes. When I downloaded my transaction summary report to upload to Sharesight, I noticed that a couple of my “buy” transactions were missing from my summary report, even though I can still see them in my transaction history on Stake. As a result, these came up as “invalid holdings” on Sharesight and I am unable to proceed.

I have tried to reach out to Stake in the past via email but they don’t seem to check them. Stake if you are reading this please help me rectify this issue. Happy to update my review once this issue is resolved.

Stake takes a nice stake of your spread

This app started off good for me, when I only had a little bit to invest, and didn’t understand the US market very well. However, it soon became highly apparent that Stake does not get you efficient prices. If I put in a “market” order for a fractional share, I can be guaranteed that if it’s a BUY, my by price will be much higher than the last traded price, while if it’s a SELL, I will get a price much lower than the last traded price. In addition, their limit orders are terrible, whereby you cannot leave a limit order over more than one day (it will automatically cancel), while they do not provide any sort of market depth info, which means you are trading blind. Ultimately, I do not feel like this app has the investors best interests at heart, but rather, that the app is designed to make big fat commissions off your trades as they take your order and sell it to a bigger broker who simply offers them every available trade that you want to make, but offers it to Stake at a better price, which they pawn off to you with their margin on top. Decent app for someone with limited knowledge of the market and not much to invest. But no good for someone looking to buy shares efficiently, and in terms of honesty with which they make a profit off you, they are probably less honest than your standard Commsecs given they way they profit off your trades. Always beware of “no commission” platforms.

Great for US and AUS stocks

Played around for a while with some different platforms including the banks, Saxo, IB etc.. originally was put off Stake because it seemed pretty basic but, unless you’re a day trader, if you are looking to trade Aus and US stocks this thing is great. Super simple, easiest set up, HIN and US Tax forms all taken care of. Fees are low. Exchange rates with US aren’t bad, there is a one of fee the first time you buy USD for the W8-BEN which is fine, after that rates and fees are competitive for buying USD.
Ownership is robust- ASX stocks directly owned in your name which surprisingly a number of platforms don’t do (e.g. Interactive Brokers AU), and the custodian arrangements for USA stocks look solid and transparent.
Very happy with the platform and their content is ok too. Would highly recommend for everyone, except maybe advanced traders into day trading and stuff other than stocks.
