Berkshire Hathaway Inc - B (All Sessions)

[Guest anders]

Good morning, 

 

I'm trying to place a limit buy for Berkshire Hathaway's B class shares in my share dealing account, but when I try I get the message "The market you have requested is no longer available online". This is on the IG Index Android app. Is this just a temporary issue or do I really have to phone to trade this?

 

I am able to place a spreadbet order through the Android app, no problem. However, I really only want to buy a small exposure (about £600), and not the ~£4500 worth that I would be effectively have at the minimum bet of 0.24 pence per point. (18864 * £0.24 = £4527.36). [see my post in the suggestions forum about allowing smaller bet sizes...]

 

Thanks, Anders.

Hi - thanks for your message. 

 

The US main session opens at 2.30 UK time, however you can trade via the All Session functionality from 12 midday. Please try again at any point today after 12 and you'll be able to place an order. You can find more information on that here: https://www.ig.com/uk/out-of-hours-shares 

 

 

Let me know if I can help further.

Thanks James. I should have said I was trying to place a limit GTC order, but I assume the same time based rules apply. I was able to place the order, so thank-you.
