GLOSSARY

T+ settlement cycle

IN PLAIN ENGLISH

How many business days after a trade settlement takes — T+2 means two business days later.

WHERE YOU MEET IT

Set by the exchange and your broker, not the app.

WATCH OUT FOR

Cycles shorten over time as markets modernise — check with your broker for the one that currently applies, rather than assuming an old figure still holds.
