Quote & Deal 

Giving you confidence in price and execution, Quote & Deal gives you the real time price from the market before you deal. Quote & Deal is only available during market hours.

 

 

At Best

To secure execution at any price you can choose to deal At Best. This option is ideal when the market is closed or when the number of shares in your order exceeds the maximum quantity allowed using Quote & Deal. At Best ensures that your order is dealt at the next available opportunity.

 

 

Limit Order

Guaranteeing price but not execution. Use a limit order when you want to achieve a price better than the current share price - Limit Orders are only dealt at a limit price set by you or better. These orders can be placed at any time and we'll monitor your deal for 30 business days.

These sophisticated order types allow you to manage your investment portfolio even when you can’t actively monitor the market. They are intelligent stock tools which will track a share price, only placing your deal when the price has moved by a predetermined amount set by you - allowing you to protect an existing gain or set an acceptable level of loss on a holding.

Stop orders can be placed at any time and held for up to 30 business days. An ideal way to help you to lock in gains and protect profits.

 

Stop Order

Sell Shares only when your specific stop price is reached or passed. You can gain additional protection over the price at whihc your shares are dealt by specifying an optional limit price. Stop Orders are available on all LSE fully listed and AIM stocks.

A trailing stop order tracks the share price. The order is only triggered when the price has moved by an amount set by you. So you can lock in gains when you are selling, and/or take the opportunity to buy at a lower price. Available on all LSE fully listed and AIM stocks.
