With TR or LSX, the liquidity of less traded stocks is simply low and therefore the spread is higher. If such a stock crashes (for whatever reason), you could also have problems finding a buyer quickly - there is sometimes very little demand on LSX.
Just looked: On Nasdaq you would have paid $0.01 spread/stock 😅
Find a broker where you can trade directly on the major exchanges, e.g. IBKR .

@BeachPlease I would also like to switch to IBKR, simply to keep the money outside Germany and for the purpose of possibly emigrating in the future. However, it's not so easy from a tax point of view, you can still enter the dividends etc. in your income tax, it's not a big problem. But the subject of advance lump sums is a science in itself.

Sure, it would be easier without ETFs, as there is no VP. But I'm more of an ETF person.

@ScorpionfromBW You can take a look at https://kapitaltax.de/de/beispiel-bericht, where the VP is taken into account.
