Disastrously Slow execute 212

Hit buy a few hours before bell.
Due to Trading 212 late execute lost over ÂŁ100

A limit order would have prevented paying the higher price.

T212 Invest doesn’t work with pre and post market. If you sent the order before opening market you probably had also in the screen the information saying that the order will be executed at market opening. That jump happened before opening of the market and the market opened at 113,42.

What are you talking about? You placed a market order before the market was open. Then you are suprised the price opens way higher than you expected?

@SHDWBXR You placed a market order out of market hours, which means that the order will execute once US markets open at whatever price there is. It executed 5 seconds after markets opened at the best available price, I don’t see a problem here.

It was more than 5 seconds

Eg The other week it took several minutes to execute.

Look at the graph monkey. Read it.
I’m not going to waste time explaining to you

Hello @SHDWBXR, I want you to meet “the gap”.

Should have bought it yesterday really, not usure why people when they see green % , they rush to buy…

A couple of weeks ago an execute of a UK stock actually several minutes on 212.
Oh my bad, I should have been there screenshotting the while process.

I think I’ll keep 212 for the isa and try some other app/platforms for swing trades.

This has nothing to do with execution time…

Dial down your language and attitude towards other community members, please.

Look at the screenshot i’m not wasting my time explaining it again to you.

Your answer had nothing to do with what my screenshot illustrated

Wish I knew this info before I lost a lot of knew today

  1. Never place a buy market order while it’s closed

  2. Don’t buy as soon as the markets open otherwise you’ll get burned by 212 as sometimes it’ll sit there pending for several minutes and then it puts you on the highest spot it could find

@AleRi8 We don’t execute based on “highest spot we can find”, it’s neither legal nor beneficial to us in any way.
