Thanks Naffman

It does seem we come from a similar prespective not surely that being similar to me in anyway is where you want to be!
But im sure you get my point.

Good luck to us!

If I understood right only the last 52 weeks should matter even if let’s say the account is on a life time loss? Is that correct?

That's my take on it too. Which can only mean that the huge buffer is an error. Unless someone else can enlighten us what might have caused this?

You should already be paying 20% for being above £25k.

Please let us know what happens. I'm intrigued!

The buffer is from the last time you pay the expert fee.
Otherwise they'd be charging someone who's 50K up after losing 100K the previous year.

But I thought the Expert Fee was purely based on the previous 52 active weeks. I thought any profit or loss from before this period is discounted. And this poster is +£97k the last 52 active weeks. What am I missing?
