Trade shares

[Daveyfitz]

Excuse my stupidity and for asking a very basic question but is it possible to just buy and sell shares on this platform. I am not looking to do any type of CFD or anything just a vanilla share trade. 

 

Thanks

Of course Davey.

It is all I do. I opened a share dealing account from scratch so cannot do anything else unless I opt in for the other stuff.

You need to do the opposite and find the option for share dealing I guess.

BTW once you succeed the minimum trade seems to be £90 (it was £60 I think).

You can get quotes for as few shares as you fancy which is great for calculating the the number of shares you can afford with your balance. I had £51.22p in my account -  getting a quote for £51.22 cash came up with a number that cost a few quid less.

I upped the number until I got to  £51.21 and traded ....  rejected because it was less than £90.

 

Have fun , it is very good here - especially that "quote" option (FTSE only?) , rather than "limit bids" which helps me  get me exactly the deal I want.  It might vary on busy stocks , mine have very low daily volumes.
