Q: How do I buy Indonesian stocks on Pluang?
A: You can buy Indonesian stocks on Pluang in 2–3 minutes through the Indonesian Stocks menu in the app. Search for the stock ticker you want, enter the number of lots and price, then confirm your order. Purchases can only be made during IDX trading hours.
Before you start, make sure:
- Your Indonesian Asset Verification has been approved and your RDN (Customer Fund Account) is active
- Your RDN balance is sufficient to purchase the stocks you want (minimum 1 lot)
- It is within IDX trading hours: Monday–Thursday, Session 1 at 09:00–12:00 WIB, Session 2 at 13:30–15:49 WIB, and Friday, Session 1 at 09:00–11:30 WIB, Session 2 at 14:00–15:49 WIB
Steps:
- From the Pluang app homepage, tap the Explore Page, then tap ID & Stocks on the Explore Page to enter the IDX stock list page.
Search for the stock you want to buy. Use the search bar to find stocks by company name or ticker code (e.g., BBRI, TLKM, BBCA). Tap the stock you want to buy to open its detail page.
Tap the Buy button on the stock detail page to open the buy order form.
Enter the price and number of lots you want to buy. Note: 1 lot = 100 shares. The minimum purchase is 1 lot. Tap Review Order.
Review the order summary. Check your order details: stock name, number of lots, price per share, and estimated total transaction value including fees. Make sure everything is correct.
Confirm your order. Tap Place Order and enter your PIN or use biometric authentication to submit your buy order.
Success indicator: You will see a confirmation screen that your buy order has been successfully submitted to the exchange. You can monitor the order status on the portfolio page or on the stock detail page under the Order section. If the order is executed, the stocks will appear in your portfolio and your RDN balance will be reduced according to the transaction value.
