How to place a stock order
There are several types of orders: market orders, stop orders, and limit orders. To learn more about each type, visit this FAQ in our Help Centre. To place an order in the Revolut app:
- Go to 'Invest' on the bottom menu
- Tap 'Trade'
- Select the stock you want to buy and tap 'Buy'
- Specify the number of shares or the exact cash amount you are willing to trade
- Tap 'Review'
- Review the transaction details and submit the order
Be aware that unless otherwise specified, the order type selected will be a market order. To change the order type, you can tap the circle icon at the bottom left next to 'Review'.
More about placing a trading order
You can buy or sell stocks you already own by tapping the stock in your stock list and selecting 'Buy' or 'Sell'. You'll also be able to select the type of order you're placing in the bottom-left corner.
If you’re specifying a stop or limit order, you'll be asked to set up the specified price to submit the order. The order will only be executed once the price is reached. The prices in-app are only indicative. If the order wasn’t triggered, it means the price wasn't reached.
After you submit an order, it may be in a pending status. You can refer to this FAQ to learn about pending orders.
Settlement
Once a trade has been executed, it still needs to settle. Learn more about settlement and withdrawing funds from your investment account in this FAQ.
