you've seen how easy it is to buy shares
and now we're going to sell some I've
logged into my account here's something
I'm looking to sell it's an investment
company called Brunner investment trust
and I've owned the shares for about five
years during which time they've gone
from 250 to about 550 I own about 800
shares in this business I come very well
out of them I want to take some profits
and Sal about a quarter of a holding I
click deal to get to the trading page
and now I'm clicking sell again the
market is open so I'm gonna click quote
and deal I want to sell a quarter of my
holding which is roughly eight hundred
shares so I'm gonna put in sell two
hundred and now to get a quote I click
receiver for down and up comes a live
price of five hundred and fifty seven P
and again that will be held for me for
fifteen seconds during which I can
decide whether or not to go ahead with
the trade but we're going to let that
quote expire because I don't want to
trade now I want to show you another way
to trade most of us are far too busy to
look again and again and out portfolio
during the day there is a way around
that if you want to buy or sell at a
fixed price you can use a special
service called a limit order this lets
you choose in advance the price at which
you wish to sell or buy you're
effectively booking the trade ahead for
example you can tell your stockbroker
you'd like to sell as soon as the share
price reaches 8 pounds when the price
hits that amount the broker will execute
the trade automatically and you'll get
an email or text to let you know it's
been done for most people this is a
simple way of placing a trade when
markets are closed but for others who
are more watchful of the markets it's a
sophisticated way of capturing big gains
win share prices are moving wildly if
you think you're gonna be someone who
wants to trade during the day it's
probably important that you choose a
broker with a good mobile phone service
the account I've been dealing with here
is Barclays stockbrokers account it
doesn't yet have a mobile app
but here's a glimpse of an excellent
mobile trading app in this case from
Hargreaves Lansdown
you can see how easy it is to place a
trade also there's a great deal of
interactive data around share price
performance so you certainly don't have
to be at a desk to trade you can trade
from a beach at the park and a cafe
anywhere where you've got a signal if
you want more information on how to
manage your ice set or pension through
your broker account then watch the
videos that follow but for now
best of luck
