New to this, not sure what things mean!


RoyCB

Question

Hoping you can help! Trying to buy some USA stocks, done the W8BEN form, so good to go, but...When I go to the shares I want to buy, I am asked for share quantity,  (assuming monetary value I want to spend is what is needed here?) Order type...(only limit is available) and order quantity....what is needed here?

I thought that putting a value in share quantity would automatically convert to order quantity?  Not sure how to complete it to buy, or what question to Google to find out....🙄

Hi @RoyCB

Quantity of shares: The number of shares that you would like to buy. You can change this field to be value of money that you would like to spend on the shares. 

Order type-Limit: This will trigger a purchase order when the share price of the stock reaches your specified buy price or a more favourable price

Order level: This where you specify what price you would like to buy the share at. 

Hopefully that clarifies it for you. 

All the best, 

Anda

Hi @RoyCB,

Could you please clarify which filed you are referring to?
Are you using a share dealing account or Leverage account?
Effectively the first field quantity is the number of shares you would like to purchase or sell.

Hi, it's shared  dealing, and my screen doesnt look like the one you show? Similar, but the 9ne that pops up asks for quantity of shares, then order type (default appears to be "limit") and then "order level" which seems to be expecting a numeric value?

    • 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.
