Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to transfer a portfolio to Scalable Broker?
 

You are welcome to transfer your portfolio to Scalable Broker. You can find all information here .

Securities account transfers initiated by your house bank cannot be accepted. Please note that it may take several weeks until the entire process of the transfer is complete.

Is there a minimum deposit?
 

You will select an amount for your initial deposit during the registration process. This amount must be at least 1 euro. Your available balance can be paid out in full or in part at any time. A high deposit is recommended in order to be able to start trading stocks, ETFs and funds immediately.

How does the registration process work?
 

The registration is completed online and only takes a few minutes. Registration via iOS or Android mobile app is also possible. You then identify yourself using the POSTIDENT identification procedure of our partner Deutsche Post (this step is not necessary for you if you already use our wealth management service with securities account management at Baader Bank).

The account opening by the custodian bank usually takes up to three working days. As soon as your securities account has been opened and the initial deposit has been made, you can start trading.

Which stock exchanges are available?
 

Orders can be placed on gettex, a stock exchange of Bayrische Börse AG, or Xetra, operated by Deutsche Börse AG. In principle, neither brokerage fees nor exchange fees are charged on gettex1. The public law structure guarantees the neutrality that is indispensable for safeguarding the interests of market participants, investors, and issuers.

The order fee is 3.99 euros per order, also in the PRIME Broker or PRIME+ Broker1.

In addition to that, there is a trading fee for Xetra. For Scalable Broker this is only 0.01 % of the executed volume (minimum 1.50 euros). The trading venue fee covers all third-party costs for trading and settlement. The settlement is carried out by the custodian bank.

1 Product costs, spreads, inducements and crypto fees may apply. View overview of all costs.

What are the trading hours of gettex and Xetra?
 

On gettex, you can usually trade ETFs, shares, and funds Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Stock exchange holidays are excluded. You can find gettex's trading calendar here.

On Xetra, you can trade Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Stock exchange holidays are excluded. You can find Xetra's trading calendar here.

On trading days, the Scalable Broker allows orders to be placed around the clock. From 12:15 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., you can place or cancel orders in our app or online by logging in to your Scalable Capital account. Stop and limit orders created outside trading hours are executed at the next possible time during trading hours. Market orders are generally only valid for the day on which they are created. If they are created before the opening of the stock exchange, they are executed at the next possible time during trading hours. Market orders placed after trading closes expire.

Outside trading hours, a moon symbol appears next to the last quote in the view of the security. This is an indicator that the stock exchanges are closed and trading is currently not possible.

Please note that different trading hours may apply to certain derivatives. You can find further information in the “Key Investor Information Document” or on the providers’ websites.

Which financial products can I invest in?
 

In principle, all ETFs, shares and funds that are traded on the gettex stock exchange are available to you.

Additionally, you can trade more than 375,000 derivatives by Goldman Sachs, HSBC and HypoVereinsbank onemarkets. You can easily find out whether a security can be traded by using the search function of the broker screen in our app or online. Simply enter the name, the security identification number (WKN), or ISIN.

You can also buy registered shares via Scalable Broker. The custodian Baader Bank will take care of the registration for you. You will not incur any costs for the registration performed by Baader Bank.

You can trade more than 375,000 derivatives in Scalable Broker. You can choose between derivatives by Goldman Sachs, HSBC or HypoVereinsbank onemarkets. To be able to trade derivatives, you have to successfully conduct the suitability test. This test is designed to assess your knowledge and experience with regards to derivatives. This is required since trading in derivatives can result in high and quick losses.You can check the availability of a specific derivative with our Derivatives Search.

In the Scalable Capital Broker, you have various financial products at your disposal with which you can invest in the gold market. For example, you can invest in ETCs that invest in physical gold.

In the Scalable Broker, you can also trade fixed-income bonds as well. We will gradually expand our bond offering.

New initial public offerings (IPOs) can currently not be subscribed to via the Scalable Broker. We make every effort to ensure that shares can be listed on gettex and traded via our platform on the first trading day following a successful IPO.

Can I trade fractions?
 

You cannot buy fractions directly. However, with all savings plans we also buy fractions of ETFs for you so that your savings amount can be fully invested. As long as your savings plan is active, these fractions are repeatedly combined to form whole number securities.

If you want to sell a security that has been saved and therefore contains fractions, you can of course also sell the resulting fractions again. Please note that no individual fractions can be sold, but rather the entire position must be sold.

Which order types are available?
 

Limit order: With this order, a limit price can be defined. The order will only be executed at this predefined price or better. This way, you can protect yourself against sudden price jumps. Due to the limit, there is a possibility that the order can be executed partially or not at all. The limit order is valid for 360 days. During this period, it can be cancelled at any time, provided that not all ordered items have been executed.

Stop order: With this order, a stop price can be defined. When the stop price is reached, your order will be activated as a market order and executed at the best possible price during trading hours. Under certain circumstances, this price can deviate significantly from the stop price due to price jumps. It may happen that the order is never activated and therefore not executed.

The stop order is valid for 360 days. During this period, it can be cancelled at any time, provided that not all ordered items have been executed.

Stop limit order: As a combination of the two preceding order types, with this order both a limit and a stop price are specified. When the stop price is reached, your order will be activated as a limit order and then executed only at the limit price or better. This way, you can protect yourself against sudden price jumps. On the other hand, it may happen that the order can only be partially executed or not at all. The stop limit order is valid for 360 days. During this period, it can be cancelled at any time, provided that not all ordered items have been executed.

Please note: If you enter both a stop and a limit price in the order screen, this does not constitute an OCO order. The Scalable Broker does not currently offer a One-Cancels-the-Other ("OCO") order.

Market order: This is only offered for sell orders. For buy orders for which no limit price is defined (see above), a security limit is automatically set (max. 5 % above the last ask price). This protects you against significant price jumps when buying.

Sell orders can also be placed as market orders. In this case, the order is executed at the next possible price during trading hours. Due to price jumps, this may differ significantly from the last price at the time the order was placed. The market order is only valid for the trading day on which it was placed.

Directly after a security purchase, you can also create automatic orders with which you can realise potential profits or limit losses:

Take-profit order: The take-profit order can be created directly after a security purchase. It is a limit order where you set a price above the buy price at which a security is automatically sold. The aim is to realise potential profits before the price falls again.

Stop-loss order: A stop-loss order can be created after a security has been bought. With a stop-loss order, you set a price below the purchase price, which may be reached or fallen below at the maximum. If this occurs, a sell order is triggered. With a stop-loss order, you can determine the maximum loss you can make with a security. This allows you to limit the risk of larger losses to a certain degree.

How can I adjust or cancel a savings plan?
 

To adjust a savings plan, click on the security with the savings plan that you want to adjust. On the overview page of the security, click on the current savings plan displayed below the chart (in the app) or on the top right of the screen (in the web browser). Change your desired amount, execution date, frequency and inflation adjustment and click on "Set up savings plan" to confirm.

To adjust the execution date and frequency of a savings plan, click on the security with the savings plan that you want to adjust. On the overview page of the security, click on the current savings plan displayed below the chart (in the app) or on the top right of the screen (in the web browser). Change the execution date and frequency, and click on "Set up savings plan" to confirm.

To suspend a savings plan, click on the desired security. On the overview page of the security, click on the displayed savings plan, e.g. "50 euros monthly". If you are in the mobile app, your savings plan will be displayed below the chart, in the desktop version you will find it at the top right. Click on "Delete savings plan" here to deactivate the savings plan. A very short-term deactivation of a savings plan may no longer be processed. Of course, you can reset the savings plan at any time.

To add or remove inflation adjustment, click on the security with the savings plan that you want to adjust. On the overview page of the security, click on the current savings plan displayed below the chart (in the app) or on the top right of the screen (in the web browser). Add a percentage value by which the savings plan rate should increase over time or click on “Inactive” if you would like to remove it and click on "Set up savings plan" to confirm.

Will I receive a tax certificate at the end of the year?
 

If you are liable for tax in Germany, you will receive an annual tax certificate for your custody account and your clearing account, provided you have carried out tax-relevant transactions in the year.
As a rule, this will be made available to you for the respective past year by the end of April of the following year.

Please note: if you have terminated your portfolio, you will receive your annual tax statement by post to the address you have provided. This also applies if you have another active portfolio or use other products for which the custodian bank is also Baader Bank (e.g. OSKAR).

If you only use one product at Baader Bank (the broker or asset management) and your account is active, you will receive your tax assessment for the following year electronically in the mailbox of your Scalable customer area.

How can I set up or change my tax allowance?
 

With an exemption order, you instruct your bank to exempt accruing investment income from automatic tax deduction. Without this order, the bank will pay 25 % capital gains tax as well as 5.5 % solidarity surcharge and, if applicable, church tax to the tax office.

The statutory maximum limits for an exemption order of an individual are 1,000 euros and 2,000 euros for a joint exemption order of a married couple or registered partner.

To set up or change an exemption order, please log into your personal client area on our website and open the "Profile" menu item. In the "Taxes" section, you can set up or change your exemption order.

Please note: In the case of a joint exemption order, the maximum amount of 2,000 euros may not be split between both accounts, as the custodian bank would otherwise be unable to process the orders. The joint exemption order can only be set up on one account and will also be applied to the spouse's account in the Baader Bank system.

An exemption order that has been set up applies to all your business relationships with the custodian bank. For example, if you have asset management with us and securities account management with Baader Bank, the exemption order set up for this will also apply to Scalable Broker and other relationships with the custodian bank. The display in your personal client area shows you the entire exemption order deposited with the custodian bank.

Please submit your exemption order before the end of the current year. Exemption orders are always valid from 1 January of the current year or from the beginning of the business relationship.
