WHAT IS A MARKET AND LIMIT ORDER

How to sell shares, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds 5

CHOOSE BETWEEN MARKET AND LIMIT ORDER

Market orderA market order will appear as default when the market is open and will show you the latest buyprice for the exchange-traded instrument.

You'll be provided with a quote (guaranteed for 15 seconds) based on the latest price of theshares you wish to buy or sell.

Limit orderA limit order allows you to buy or sell at a price set by you. This can either be higher or lower thanthe latest market price. Your order will be placed automatically once the set price is reached orexceeded. If your set price isn’t reached or there is an operational reason why the deal can’t beplaced, your order will expire at the next market close without an order being placed.

Limit orders expire at market close the same day as the limit order was set (or the next marketclose if the order is placed outside of market hours).

If you are investing outside of market hours and want your order to complete as soon as themarket opens you need to set your limit order higher than the latest price to buy, or lower than thelatest price to sell. Prices can move significantly when the market opens so it’s important to set anappropriate buffer from the latest price. For example, if the latest price of ‘stock A’ is 100p and youwant to buy when the market opens regardless of price, then you could set the limit order at 130p.If you are looking to sell ‘stock A’ regardless of price you could set the limit order at 70p.Remember, if your set price is reached when the market opens your order will execute at theprevailing market price. If your set price isn’t reached, your order will expire at the next marketclose without an order being placed.
