SIPP functionality

Hey,

A couple of SIPP questions, if anyone can help please?

  1. Does anyone know if you can trade US pre & post markets in the SIPP

  2. Can a stop loss or trailing stop loss orders be placed in a SIPP?

I’m finding it difficult to find a SIPP provider with both these functions.
Thanks.

It’s a negative on both questions I’m afraid. I have never come across such outside of a “trading” account and suspect you’ll be hard pushed to find such functionality in a pension product.

Ok thanks, thats a shame.

I have had it confirmed (verbally by each customer service team), that within a SIPP,
IG do pre & post.
II do stop losses
IB do both.

But with IB (and i think IG) you need a third party approved pension company that manages your SIPP, for a fee, who then transfers your capital to IB to use on thier trading platform. Which feels like a pain, plus it can be quite expensive, depending on the size of your pot. And although they all checked or transferred me to thier trading team for the answers, I did still get the feeling it might not be the case.
