Why is it taking so long to execute orders. i order at one price then buy the time the order is executed the price has gone up. 3 orders in 3 days, sometimes up to 15 mins. Then it wasnt worth buying. these have been on the uk market and US.

Without knowing what stock you are talking about we can only guess that there was low liquidity for that stock ie lack of people selling at a price.

Pushed through two orders for IDEX and none of them were successful. Chart not updating, @Team212 can you look into this please?
$GGP chart not updating and orders are showing as processing in endless loop @Team212
@Team212 pending orders being stuck again for $GGP
yeah, i got fed up of ranting about this and did some research too. sadly, thereās not a lot T212 can do except look bad in this process. there are some stocks which simply arenāt liquid enough, so you canāt sell it. T212 merely provide a platform to trade on.
thinking about it, you canāt sell something if there is no one to buy it. itās like if youāre selling a product on ebay/amazon, you canāt yell at either if your product isnāt getting sold or if it is taking 2 years to sell it simply because there is no demand for it 
If youāre instructing a stock trading on the SETSqx platform then T212s default is to place it via the RSP in to the intraday auction. This is entirely understandable until the auction provides no legitimate 2 way price because of lack of liquidity. There are technical and non technical solutions to this. One, find RSPs happy to execute rather than placing the order on-book. Itās what Freetrade seem to do. There RSP network is limited yet GGP executes immediately. The other solution is T212s broker to pick up these pending orders and voice trade them. Just go to a market maker directly whoāll make you a price. It raises best execution issues but my compliance officers were always happy to sign off when I had to do similar things for clients back in my days of managing brokerage teams.
@Team212 every time I submit a buy limit order for $GGP itās stuck in processing compared to $TSLA it goes straight in and awaiting trigger point.
SETSqxā¦ read above 
TSLA is super liquid
GGP is notā¦ hence it trades on SETSqx and goes to intraday auction where orders are matched (if available). Again, all above
I donāt really understand how can I buy $GGP instantly but when I submit a limit order itās stuck in processing. Is this still valid as per your above explanation?
Yes. Sounds like your limit canāt be metā¦ at auction or instantlyā¦do it waitsā¦ constantly trying either direct in the market or at the auctionsā¦ hence the ādelayāā¦ you can normally see the uncrossing auction priceā¦ and compare to your limit so you know your limit wasnāt metā¦ just look at a historic order book or time/sales data for the day in question
