Rate is the mid-market spot rate. IB adds about 0.03% to it, and the fill time matters, so breakeven below is an estimate, not the exact IB rate.
How the breakeven works
Breakeven sell price, $ = ((total cost in £ + target profit in £) ÷ Rs + sell commission in $) ÷ quantity to sell
Rs = £ per $1 at sell. Rb = total £ cost ÷ total $ cost at buy. If Rs < Rb, sterling was stronger at sell, so FX is a loss. If Rs > Rb, FX is a gain.
IB 0.03% rule: the app adjusts the sell rate only — Rs used = Rs spot × 0.9997. It does not adjust the buy side, because your £ paid comes from IB and already includes the 0.03% buy fee.
Example from your NVDA trade: total cost £5,221.20, $6,992, Rb 0.7467. At Rs 0.7437, breakeven is $175.54 for 40 shares. At Rs 0.7692, breakeven is $169.72.
