Altering stop loss after market is closed

[Guest yogitree]

How can i change the stop loss after the market is closed?

The other evening i wanted to change the existing stop loss value on Barratt's in my ISA account. However i got the error message saying "the exchange is currently unavailable". 

Thanks

Unfortunately you are unable to change an order when the market is closed, for the simple fact that the underlying exchange is closed and isn't accepting orders (for example the LSE or NYSE). In some instances you can call us during the auction period to amend orders, however this will depend on the exchange itself. Let me know what specifically you are trading and I'll be able to give further information.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm trading shares (LSE:BDEV  Barratts Development) through my ISA account.

Thanks

hi @yogitree - in this instance the only time you're going to be able to cancel your order is ten minutes before the market opens. In other words from 7.50am until 8am (when the market opens) . You can also do this in the post market up to 5pm.

You can of course do it in the main session, however any time outside of this or the times quoted above wouldn't be possible.
