Hi,
One trade is done at one price.
The 2213.40 is the last trade. That was the actual price someone paid on the deal.
The last ask we saw before the standard market hours closed was 2214.80
If you imagine a car for sale, the sticker on the window says £1000 as the ask. You can meet that to instantly buy, or you can say well I want to only pay £800. The seller sells well I want this trade so I’ll lower my price down to make the deal happen. Let’s call it a deal at £900.
In reality at any point they’ll usually be a few asks and a few bids at various sizes. The app shows the best of each. You’ll need L2 access to see the order book.
Not unless the market makers all retire one trade early each day
I agree with you,
And by Trading 212 Closing price definition :-“The final price at witch a financial instrument is traded on a given training day”.
Going back to your OP you are wanting to know due to the price split and were wanting to know if 2213.40 was the last trade.
Well it was for normal hours, but you can trade after hours (and pre) so if you want to know what that last price was on Friday its 2216.99
So 2216.99/5 = $443.40 would be shown as the last trades when it updates.
So you would expect the first ask to be around that in the pre-market.
T212 are already on it and have updated the historical charts by dividing everything by 5 and you can see the OHLC
@David any reason why the last candle isn’t updated until Monday? Edit: looks like 10m and 1d showing prior to split.
