Stocks Order Types
Quick Trade The Quick-trade mode supports 2 different types of orders, if the user has a realtime price
subscription. Market Orders (Duration: Day Order) and Limit Orders (Duration: Day Order).
Market Order Orders to buy or sell a specified instrument as soon as possible at the price obtainable in
the market.
BUY: When placing a Market order to buy, the order is filled immediately (when the market
is open), at the best available price for the specified amount.
SELL: When placing a Market order to Sell, the order is filled immediately (when the market
is open), at the best available price for the specified amount.
Limit Order Limit orders are commonly used to enter a market and to take profit at predefined levels.
When a limit order is triggered, it is filled as soon as possible at the price obtainable on the
market. Note that the price at which your order is filled may differ from the price you set for
the order if the opening price of the market is better than your limit price.
BUY: When Limit orders to buy are placed below the current market price (passive order)
it will be executed when the market reach the price level specified. If the order is placed
above the current market price (aggressive order), the order is filled instantly at the best
available price below or at the limit price.
SELL: When Limit orders to sell are placed above the current market price (passive order)
it will be executed when the market reach the price level specified. If the order is placed
below the current market price (aggressive order), the order is filled instantly at the best
available price above or at the limit price.
Stop Order Stop orders are commonly used to exit positions and to protect against trading losses.
It’s a resting order, which will convert into a market order, once the order price has been
reached.
BUY: Stop orders to buy are placed above the current market level and are executed when
the market reaches the price level specified.
SELL: Stop orders to sell are placed below the current market level and are executed when
the market reaches the price level specified.
Stop Limit Order A Stop Limit order will be executed at a specified price (or better) after your specified Stop
Price has been reached. Once the Stop Price is reached, the Stop Limit order becomes a
Limit order to buy (or sell) at the Limit Price or better. A resting order, which will convert
into a limit order with a separately defined limit, once the order price has been reached.
Trailing Stop Order A Trailing Stop Order is a stop order that has a trigger price that changes. As the market
rises (for long positions) the stop price rises according to the proportion set by the user,
but if the price falls, the stop price remains unchanged. This type of stop order helps an
investor to set a limit on the maximum possible loss without limiting the possible gain
on a position. It also reduces the need to constantly monitor the market prices of open
positions. A resting order, where the order price is set at an initial level and a firm distance
to market, which will allow the order price to move along with market movements opposite
to the order direction, and which will convert into a market order, once the order price has
been reached.
Related Several types of related orders are available. An “If Done” order consists of two orders: A
(Contingent) order primary order that will be executed as soon as market conditions allow it, and a secondary
order that will be activated only if the first one is executed. An “One Cancels the Other
(O.C.O.)” order consists of two orders. If either of the orders is executed, the related order
is automatically cancelled. -3way contingent orders are where 2 orders are placed if a
primary (If Done) order is executed. These orders are themselves related as O.C.O.
