Hi there

I didnā€™t know about the 15 minute delay on share prices and ended up paying a little more for them.Is there an app you can use for live share prices or maybe freetrade allow you to do this somehow?Iā€™ve seen some sites use a level 2 which gives you access to live prices?

Kind regards Rob.

For UK shares, you can just Google and the data is usually close to real-time. The exception is for less frequently traded shares. Less volume means it tends to update less often. Thereā€™s also a bit of a delay at the end of the trading day.

Iā€™m not sure about other exchanges.

Freetrade plan on improving share price data, according to the roadmap. Thereā€™s no date for this, but it should eventually happen.

For US shares Trading View (https://www.tradingview.com) or Yahoo finance have the best data, in my opinion

For UK shares Google isnā€™t too bad, but doesnā€™t show you the buy/sell spread - Yahoo data is 15 minutes behind for UK stocks. https://uk.advfn.com/ is good for live pricing, but i think you need an account (the free one works and is what I use but is quite painful to use due to the constant bombardment for you to subscribe). HL also show live buy/sell prices if you have an account with them

I use all the above when setting limit buys and sells (plus only). I donā€™t tend to use market orders.

https://chartexchange.com tracks IEX, which is what freetrade tracks.
