    Staying in the UK and buying shares in the US can be a challenging task due to the time difference. Thats why i would recommend a trading app since you can set alerts and try triggers which activate when certain specifications are met.
    It can turn out to be quite helpful!

    The markets are usually open between about 2pm to 930pm. How is that "challenging"?

    Also btw, How is X-O? I haven't personally tried it out but there a lot of good reviews going around about it. Just wanted to check it out.

    I find it very basic, but its all I need. £5.95 fee per trade, i have an X-O share dealing account and a S&S ISA with them for longer term holds (and those with a change of mutli-bagging)
