Hi All,
I want to buy some shares within my sipp, I'm using sippdeal and they have a limit price. Any idea how I buy the shares at the current price? I'm confused as to what limit price is?

For instance

Bid Price 0.3925 GBP
Offer Price 0.3975 GBP

If I wanted to buy the shares right now, what do I put in the limit price? 0.3975p?

    If you want to buy shares in real time at the current price then don't use Limit Price at all - you should choose to Buy at Best.

    it doesnt let you choose. I'm new to sippdeal but It says limit price, and it has to be filled in

    Are you trying to buy stock when the market is closed? If so, then that may be why you can only choose a Limit price, maybe when the market is trading you have the option to buy at best.
