Limit orders

[CAPABILITYBROWN]

Is there no facility here to fix limit orders for a specific date of expiry.......i'm new to IG and all of the platforms iv'e used previously allow clients to set a limit order and its expiry at a particular date ?

I've got the same question. I've just placed an order before the market opens tomorrow, and was only given the choice of a limit order. There was no option for a min and max price I was prepared to pay. So I just set the one price. Is that right?

on share dealing you can set orders with a 'good till' date, as you can with spread betting and cfd accouts

I do not appear to be getting the same screen options as you. When I click the drop down arrow by FAR, I get a deal ticket option that brings up this. There is no order selection on the drop down menu.

Hi @gcarter, I'm wondering whether this stock is only available as a spread bet? The share platform deal ticket looks greyed out and there's no spread.

When I click on the drop down arrow by FAR in the 2nd picture, this is what I get. I click on deal ticket to get the first picture option.

@gcarter, what happens when you click on the chart icon from the share dealing platform, does one come up? is it the same as that for DFB and CFD below;
