Buy
HeyTrade offers you a wide variety of companies so that you can invest in the main markets and asset classes safely and at a very low cost.
Investing with our app is super easy:
Access the 🔎 Search tool to locate the company you are interested in buying.
Click on the orange "Buy" button at the bottom of the screen.
From there you can select whether you want to place a market order or a limit order. You can see the available orders here.
Select the number of shares and, in the case of limit orders, you will also have to indicate the limit price and the validity of your order with a maximum of 30 days from the current date.
Click on "Review order" to view all the details of your purchase as well as expenses and commissions.
If everything is correct, press the "Press and hold to confirm" button for a few seconds to verify.
Since the price of a stock can vary from the time an order is placed until it is executed, before placing a purchase order you must have an available balance of at least 103% of the transaction.
In both market and limit orders, the time it takes for an order to be executed is only a matter of seconds. Keep in mind that mobile operators and transatlantic lines are involved in the process and, in some cases, there may be a few seconds delay in the response.
And that's it! We will send you an e-mail with the details of the operation, which you can also check in the Transactions section.
Sell
If buying is easy, selling is even easier. Let's get started:
Access your Portfolio and locate the position you want to sell.
Click on the orange "Sell" button at the bottom of the screen.
From there you can select whether you want to place a market order or a limit order. You can see the available orders here.
Select the number of shares you wish to sell and, in the case of limit orders, you will also have to indicate the limit price and the validity of your order with a maximum of 30 days from the current date.
Select the number of shares and
Click "Review order" to view all the details of your sale as well as expenses and commissions.
If everything is correct, press the "Press and hold to confirm" button for a few seconds.
In both market and limit orders, once the sale is executed, the money will appear in your account in a few seconds and you will receive an email with the trade details, which you will also find in the Transactions section.
As in the case of buy trades, the time it takes for an order to be executed is only a matter of seconds, although sometimes there may be a small delay.
In the case of sell limit orders, bear in mind that if you set a limit price lower than the current price, the system will execute the sale at that very moment as if it were an immediate execution order since it considers the current price better than the price requested in the order. Therefore, the sell limit order will only remain pending if the set price is higher than the quoted price at that moment, it does not work as a stop-loss.
