    I’ve been looking into Freetrade as a general non-ISA account option.
    I am only interested in the £1 instant trades. However, it seems these are not necessarily as “instant” as one would expect.

    With HL or iWeb there is a ‘countdown’ when the price is displayed and if you click to accept before it counts out, that is the execution price.

    It seems this is not the case with Freetrade. I read this on their website:

    “Due to the inherent nature of a moving market and any delays in displaying information through our mobile application, it is likely that the actual execution price will differ from that shown on screen before the order is made.”

    Has anyone got any specific experience to share on delayed execution?
    (My immediate thought is that it’s pretty crummy if an instant trade is not at a known price.)

    Thanks.

  • It looks like Robinhood has set up a UK subsidiary and has been granted authorisation from the FCA to launch. Keen to see how it works. I've been using Freetrade for the last 6m and have to admit that it's quite good. I wonder if Robinhood will be offering investment ISAs,.
