Not sure there is a major benefit apart for satisfying my OCD with numbers, When investing, is it worth considering a 3rd option, as well as buy by £, buy by Share #, add a round up, calculating the value of a share buy to the next Full share amount. It doesn’t apply to small-value shares, but may benefit orders on high share prices
It’s an interesting suggestion; I haven’t come across that one before. I’ll run it past the team, but I’m thinking that it could potentially complicate things for some clients when selecting the order type.
Currently, you can use (and I suspect you already do) the value order tab to find the nearest full number of shares based on the amount you are willing to invest. Than you can switch to # and place your order.
