Guys, is it possible to set your own price (in other words, a limit order) when buying shares on Maybank2U ?

When I try to buy a counter, it only let me key in one of the following:

1. Last done price
2. Best sell price
3. Best buy price
4. Second best buy price
5. Third best buy price

And also, is there a way to do stop loss, trailing buy etc?

Your answers are much appreciated. I recently opened an account with MBB so not used to the trading system.

You can key in the price straight into the price field, don't use the drop down list selection.
I don't think can do stop loss etc, someone can correct me if wrong.

Thanks for the reply.

Also, does anyone know why we have to buy shares in lots of 100? In this day and age, it seems very archaic!

I bought shares overseas before and never had to buy in lots.

Bursa want the stock affordable be purchase by retailer.
Imagine stock in rmXX per stock, will require ten thousand plus to purchase minimun 1 lot.

Example BAT and Nestle 1 lot = 1000.... brows.gif
By reduce 1 lot = 100 stock then retailer can buy with few rm K.
Same to SGX also impletment 1 lot = 100 stock on 1 Jan 2015.

Understand your point that 100 shares per lot is better than 1,000 as it makes share purchases more affordable to us.

My point however is that we should do away with the concept of 'lots' altogether. I have bought shares in both UK and France but never had to buy in lots!
