RE: IG Trading - Not filling shares12 Aug 2020 14:01
so I tend to call my broker and just say buy at market, he types some stuff in and then an hour later they sms me and say we bought x for you at this amount.
I put a limit to the price I was willing to pay once , and it didn't go through as price never went down to my offer.
But if someone puts in a price higher than current price why would the transaction be delayed. If offered 152, doesn't that mean 152 or less ? A limit order above current price should still execute, almost straight away or ? AIM is a little new to me, other exchanges its all but instant. Job of MM is to ensure orders within the volume limit can be forfilled, and if they look in danger of not being able to do so raise the price till that danger goes away.
