No this time I put in an order after closing hours, first thing tomorrow when the stock exchange open in Norway my order is sent and checks my price setting. If stocks are available order goes through, if for instance my price request is too low I could be without and order is cancelled.

Between order and execution the time can vary but this explains it quite well:

At best you get almost instant trades.

You should have a handful of fair stock brokers in the U.K.?

These are (very) early times
Thanks for the suggestion, buying stocks and ETF's with crypto sounds like a dream come true. This might be one of the first sites even though only in planning stage.
