You get real time trading prices for most UKequities. These are firm prices, guaranteed to be the best execution price when you enter your order details – so “the price you see is the price you get”. To ensure that your order is executed at that price, you must accept the price displayed on the screen before the on-screen 20-second timer runs out. For all other securities, the price you see is indicative, meaning a firm price at which you can trade. Your order will be intercepted by one of our experienced dealers who will execute it in accordance with your instructions. The price at which your order was executed will be reported back to you online as soon as possible. Please note that the price and value of investments and the income derived from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount you invest.
