Exchange orders not being fulfilled

Question

Guest TomMartin1983

I'm new to this so apologies if there is a basic obvious answer.

I have a BUY working order for VEL VELOCITY COMPOSITES PLC at level of 32p which has been on all day. However trades are happening that are significantly below this value (30.7)  https://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/stocks/summary/company-summary/GB00BF339H01GBGBXASQ1.html


Why doesn't my BUY order take precedence?

Thanks for any help and again apologies if obvious.

Tom

The listed price is the mid price so is nether a buy or sell price, it is based on the order book that lists offers and bids, the mid price is half way between the best offer and the best bid. Once the best bid or offer is taken up the next best becomes the best and the mid way is recalculated to reflect that. The difference between the bid and offer is the spread which is essentially the cost of the trade.

Hi @TomMartin1983, just looking at your link and can see the spread is very high, the mid price between best bid and best offer is 33.50, the 'bid' to enter a short (trigger a sell order) is 30.00 but the 'offer' to enter a long (trigger a buy order) is 37.00 which is a long way from your buy order of 32.00. Are you sure the offer price did actually fall to 32.00 which should then have triggered your buy order? 

The last trades are not shown as being either buy or sell.

Oh I think I see.

Are you saying the prices listed on www.londonstockexchange.com can either be the buy or sell price? and that the 30.07 value maybe the sell price with a buy price greater than my 32.00 buy order?  I assumed all the prices listed were buy price.

Thanks
Tom

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
