When you click on the Trading tab, the trading page is displayed where you see MyWatchlist/Alerts, My Orders, My Holdings and Cash Account Balances.
The shares that you currently hold are listed on the Trading page. To trade a share/stock that you currently hold, click the Buy button. This will enter the name into the Share Name field, and you can proceed to choosing the type of order you wish to place.
To buy shares in a company that you do not currently hold shares in:
Here you can filter shares by their Exchange, Sector, Industry, Name, International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) or Ticker. This tool is available when you are logged in. You can access this by clicking on the Search Shares link above the search box in the Trade Shares section.
If you can't find the share you want to buy using our online search facility, please telephone the Davy Select Dealing Desk at +353-1-614 9000 and ask us to add the share. Once we add the share to our list of shares, you will be able to trade it online. However, if you place an order with the Dealing Desk by phone, you will be charged the higher commission for telephone trading (more information on charges).
The indicative price is an initial estimate of the price based on the last recorded trading price of the shares. This is provided for information purposes only, as the reporting of market prices is delayed by 20 minutes. This price is not guaranteed, and the quote that you receive for the shares will probably differ from the indicative price. The currency that the share is traded in is displayed beside the Indicative Price, and beside the price that you will set for the shares.
You now need to choose the type of order you want to place.
A quote order is a quote on the lowest price that these particular shares are available to trade at through myDavy. You can decide whether to accept the quote and deal at the quoted price, or reject the quote. If you reject the quote, your order will not be placed. Quote orders are only available on myDavy for Irish and UK stocks during market hours. For all other markets and ETFs, you will have to select Place Limit Order.
A Limit Order means that you set the highest price that you are willing to pay for the shares at this time. You must set a time limit on the order, known as the duration. Your duration choices are:
Enter the number of shares that you would like to buy.
Choose your settlement currency.
Click Request Quote.
The currency that you wish to pay in. If you hold sufficient cash in that currency with Davy Select, you may prefer to pay for it in this currency, so that no currency transactions are required.
If you do not hold cash in this currency or if you have insufficient cash in this currency, Davy Select will automatically undertake a currency deal on your behalf to fund the transaction from the currency in which your cash is held.
Once you place your quote order, you will have 10 seconds to accept or reject the quote. In this time, you must review the quote and choose to accept or reject the quote.
If you accept the quote, your order will be executed at the quoted price.
If you reject the quote, your order will not be placed. You can either cancel the order and return to the Trade Shares page, or choose to place a limit order.
If you neither accept nor reject the quote within 10 seconds, the quote will expire. At this point you can cancel the transaction and return to the Trade Shares page, or choose to place a limit order for the shares.
Enter the highest price you are willing to pay for the shares at this time.
You can choose the Quantity OR Net Value (in settlement currency) of what you wish to buy.
Choose your duration: Good for Today Only or Good until Friday Week (explanation of duration).
Click Calculate to see a breakdown of the charges on the trade. Calculate allows you to see how much each trade will cost or recoup for you. It gives you a breakdown of the charges on the trade in both the settlement currency and the transaction currency. The settlement currency figures are an estimate, as a currency deal may be required.
If you are happy to proceed with the trade, click on Preview Order to review the details of your order before placing it.
On the Preview Order page you can review the details of your order.
