To set a limit order:

1) Head to the investment you want to set a limit order for and select 'buy'

2) Select the account you want to set the order for

3) Under 'buy/sell' select 'buy'

4) Under 'order type' select 'limit'

5) Enter the value or quantity you want the order to be for

6) Enter the price you want the limit to be activated under 'trigger price'

7) Enter the date you want the order to expire under 'expiry date'

8) Click review order and place

Please note: limit orders are only available for investments on the London Stock Exchange.

Also, it may be worth noting that you’ll need to have enough available cash in your account for the order to go through at the time of execution. If price hits your trigger price and you don’t have enough cash, the order will be rejected and fail.
