Hi I placed an order to buy shares in a certain company listed on NYSE. The market is closed now. When the market reopens, will I get the same price as when I placed the order? What if the price per share is higher/lower tomorrow? Will I get today’s closing price? Thank you ---

The best would be to set a limit order, it can happen that in case the price goes much higher you will pay that price if you have free funds available. Set a limit order and in case the price is up to that value your order will be executed. ---

Wow. That’s a big difference. I’m really new to this. I saw on the FAQs for pending orders, it says the markets are open 24/5. If that’s true then why didn’t my order to buy the shares go through? Why is it under pending? ---

As far as I know for investiments in shares (not CFD), the trading hours correspond to the open trading hours in the country where the respective share is listed (USA, UK, Germany…). ---

Please please don’t use market orders!! I made some significant losses. I suggest you to look at pre-market price of the stock you are buying (up until the market opens) and then keep adjusting your limit orders. ---

Placing an order (buy or sell) when the relevant market is closed is risky - you should always set a limit in case the price changes by a large amount on the market opening. Even if investing for the long term you’d presumably have a price above which you don’t want to buy. Prices often spike on opening and then settle down. ---

Thank you for the advice. Still learning here. Thank God I got the shares for close to the same price. ---

If you are still in learning phase you can use the Practice account which is very good for starting investing (and not suffer costly mistakes).
