After hours sometimes does not trade and NASDAQ fees?


Recommended Posts

Greetings,

Two questions:

1.Sometimes afterhours I set a buy order at a price that matches current price but it just sites there, even if I increase my bid just stays there, share is TSLA, any ideas what causes this? It would be odd to think there is noone wanting to sell, am I doing something wrong? I have bought fine after hours similarly but sometimes it just sits there ?

2.I've converted my funds > USD and when I trade and check my statement for there are no fees for trading, is this normal and correct? NB I have manually converted the currency. Oh yes there is a small fee of $0.xx but no major fee? Very happy about this but the help says if trading on NASDAQ in USD there should be a minimum fee of $15 but I don't see this anywhere ??? Am I missing something obvious.

Sadly the support help are not very helpful 😞 going in circles here.

If you're selling them on a share dealing account and trading before 14:30 (GMT) or after 21:00 GMT you have to have the limit (all sessions) order type. If this is not selected they you're order instructions are set to only work in the main market 14:30 - 21:00. 

The commission fees are taken on the day you buy and sell the shares. ( not the day the funds settle ) so the fees may be around 2 days before the funds are taken (when you buy) and credited (when you sell). Further to this we do have a much lower commission fee but not as low as £1.

As you can see, if you trade US shares three times in the previous month you will get to trade them commission free the next month. 

All the best

Thanks a lot. I see the after hours trading closes at midnight GMT but NASDAQ still continues trading after this time, is there a reason the IG after hours trading timings does not cover the full times of NASDAQ after hours?

About the fees it is odd as I converted funds > USD balance.

But your notes imply there are fees if you don't opt for auto-conversion so I am confused. Can you update info on your site to accurately match the actualities please!

Fees show as GBP 10 initiall then zero:

Does the above report accurately reflect commissions charged? I my case I have nothing after 31/3 which indicates there is no charge, but my balance is not in GBP it is held in USD so I am very confused!

Is there some later commission bill that will come delayed ???

    • Sainsburys full year earnings and Unilever’s first quarter trading update both say the same thing, UK consumers are in for higher prices. The war in Ukraine, supply chain issues and the effects of ongoing Covid all to blame.      
    • US Dollar (DXY) Daily Price and Analysis US Q1 GDP may stall the greenback’s advance. A 20-year high nears for the US dollar. The multi-month US dollar rally continues with the greenback printing a fresh high today ahead of the first look at US Q1 GDP at 12.30 GMT. The US dollar basket (DXY) has been boosted by renewed weakness in the Euro and the Japanese Yen, as investors move from lower-yielding to higher-yielding currencies, while safe-haven flows continue to benefit the greenback. The US growth release later in the session is expected to show a sharp slowdown from the robust Q4 figure of 6.9%. The markets are currently pricing in growth of just 1% for the first three months of this year, with the slowdown mainly due to a reduction in inventory accrual over the quarter. This release is unlikely to move the greenback, unless there is a large miss or beat, as the Fed believe that 2022 US growth will be robust enough to let them tighten monetary policy sharply without damaging the economy. The latest US Core PCE data – the Fed’s preferred inflation reading – is released on Friday and this may have more effect on the US dollar than today’s GDP data. For all market moving economic data and events, see the DailyFX Calendar. The ongoing US dollar rally has been aided by weakness across a range of G7 currencies including the Euro, the Japanese Yen, and the British Pound. The Euro continues to battle with lowly growth expectations, exacerbated by energy concerns, the British Pound is mired by weak economic data, while the Japanese Yen is in freefall as the BoJ continues with its ultra-loose monetary policy.   The US dollar continues to press higher and looks set to break above 103.96, the March 2020 high. Above here the US dollar would be back at levels last seen nearly two decades ago. The March resistance will likely hold in the short-term, especially with month-end portfolio rebalancing at the end of the week, but US dollar strength is set to continue in the months ahead.
