This is for the ISA account, using buy stop orders - although please address limit & market orders if different.
Do you recommend splitting up larger orders into smaller ones? To ensure we get filled at least partially?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but if I submit a buy stop order for 1,000 shares of any equity - currently if I submit it as one order, I either buy 1,000 shares (order gets filled entirely), or my order doesn’t go through (doesn’t get filled at all). Is that correct?
I’ve never had a case where I’ve only been filled partially, so this is why I’m asking.
Not necessarily. If you place an order for 1,000 shares, it may be partially executed if only a portion of the shares or value is available at the time. The remaining shares will stay pending until the order can be fully completed.
