Thanks. I like this, trailing stop that works right away not ideal

Advanced Order Types

These sophisticated order types allow you to manage your investment portfolio even when you cannot actively monitor the market. They are intelligent stock tools which will track a share price, only placing your deal when the price has moved by a predetermined amount set by you – allowing you to protect an existing gain or set an acceptable level of loss on a holding.

Important changes to your Account

I am writing to let you know about some important changes to your trading and investment accounts and how they will operate in the future.

First, I would like to assure you these changes will not affect your existing investments, their security or the level of service you receive from us.

Providing a new trading platform

As the UK's largest online financial community we have built our reputation on providing cutting edge technology to help you make the right financial decisions. We have now taken this one step further as we have developed a new trading platform for all our trading and investing customers.

The main benefits of our new platform will be:

•    A single account login across the website and investment account 
•    Mobile trading, at no extra cost
•    Free limit orders and other automated trading strategies
•    Increased functionality for international stocks, moving from a limit order to a quote driven system 
•    New trading & account management screens including the ability to view a summary across all your accounts on one page
•    Ability to open a SIPP account with your choice of pensions trustees, and an online application process
•    Enhanced functionality and integration with discussion boards, a virtual portfolio and equity research page

As the newest broker platform in the UK, we have additional plans for significant future developments and enhancements to our service.

Keeping the same, competitive costs

We will continue to offer you our competitive low-cost charges of a flat £10 UK equity dealing charge on all our products, and our low funds charges with no administration charges. You will also be able to trade over the phone as well as online, for the same low price.

Administrative changes

Halifax Share Dealing Limited (HSDL) is the current plan manager for your ISA, and the custodian of your investment holdings is HSDL Nominees Ltd. Once the new service is introduced on 31 October, the ISA plan manager will change to Interactive Investor Trading Limited (IITL) and the custody of your investments will transfer to IITL's nominee company, Investor Nominees Limited. We are therefore giving you notice under clause 11.10 of our investment account terms and conditions and 12.13 of our ISA terms that HSDL will no longer be the provider of these services. These are administrative changes and do not affect the status of your investments.

What you need to do

When you next login to http://www.iii.co.uk you'll see information and details about the new service and the new terms and conditions. Whilst we can confirm that there are no changes to our low-cost pricing and there are no material changes in the terms and conditions, we recommend you read the information carefully.

At this time, you will be able to choose whether you want to agree to the new terms and conditions. The alternative is that you can choose to transfer out to another broker service. From Monday 3 October, you will be prompted to set up your new enhanced security details and activate your new account.

For more information, in the meantime, you can visit http://www.iii.co.uk/faq to read our FAQs and http://www.iii.co.uk/changes to read about the key differences of the new service. If you have any further queries please contact us on 0845 200 3638

We are very excited about the forthcoming changes and look forward to offering you more flexibility, convenience and functionality with our new share dealing and fund platform.

Very best regards

Looks like some good improvements to the service.

One thing I miss from hoodless brennan (remember them?!) was the no charge for limit orders.

Saga are good, but ses6jwg and Sabretooth you should also look at Traders Own Stockbroking - £9 per trade flat fee, no management fees and no charge for limits or stops. http://www.tradersown.co.uk/sharedealing_guide::traders_own_stockbroking.html

It seems a bit wacky. Kind of a halfbaked website "Traders Own is a unique financial community website, providing an easy-to-use community and networking service with online sharedealing, CFD trading and spreadbetting platforms."

It only started up last year, I think I'd give it time, especially as the pricing isn't that much cheaper than the competition.

Fair comment Biggles, it is a new concept I guess, I just like the idea that all members get free shares in Traders Own Plc, the holding company every time they trade.
