Hello all,

can anyone explain to me the meaning of upper/lower threshold when buying shares, and what values do I need to put in?

Because the market is open between obvious buisness working hour times , if you are buying on the weekend for example and the share price is sitting at say

100

you want to put in 10,000 worth of shares at 100, if you key in your upper thresehold to say 105

Oops hit enter.

Carrying on if you key in 105, it means by the time your 'buy' is processed and say the share price has gone up to 106 it won't buy it because perhaps it is not a worth while buy for you anymore. It basically is a safeguard for you from the share price rising ridiculously and if you had brought say 10,000 shares, and the share price was to go up to 150, you'd be spending

150,000 pound as opposed to the 100,000 pound you initially thought.

Hope this helps? i'm still learning also :D

When you give in an order you are able to attach a limit to you order. This limit makes sure that your order will only be processed IF the limit is reached. The period which you select, either a one day period or a 20 day period, means that the order will only be processed if the given limit is reached within this period.
