It would be really useful if we had buy stop orders as an option. Similar to the triggered stop loss, but this will place a buy order once the stock goes above your set price. Common feature that most brokers have. I personally use this feature a lot with another broker I have to buy into stocks early that are breaking out.
Hi Haider,
If I’ve understood you correctly, limit orders are available on Plus.

I think it’s a rising rather than falling trigger being requested “to catch break outs”
The wording above is in essence “once the price dalls below the price you specify”.
What I think is being asked for is “do not buy until the price exceeds £x.y”.
“To swing trade” this would be a terrible feature and one that would cause a lot of people to buy stuff just because it’s going up. Invest in companies you like, have researched and want to hold or take a look at the 2:15 from Newmarket.

Not a feature I can see myself ever using personally. Was just trying to expand on origiinal request giving more detail.
Caveat emptor. DYOR. etc.

helpful details I think. Not a feature I can see a use for either.

People do use these types of orders. One potential use would be to react to some expected news if it goes your way. Not something I’d ever use but it does open up more strategies.
