ORDER TYPES A limit order is an order to buy or sell a contract ONLY at the specified price or better. LIMIT-ORDER • Click the Ask price to create a BUY • order, or the Bid price to create a SELL order. • In the Type field select LMT as the order type. • In the Lmt Price field, enter the price at which you want the order to execute. • To transmit the order, click the "T" in the Status field.
ORDER TYPES A market order is an order to buy or sell an asset at the bid or offer price currently available in the marketplace. When you submit a market order, you have no guarantee that the order will execute at any specific price. • Click the Ask price to create a BUY order, or the Bid price to create a SELL order. • In the Type field select MKT as the order type. • To transmit the order, click the "T" in the Status field. MARKET-ORDER
ORDER TYPES A Stop order becomes a market order to buy or sell securities or commodities once the specified stop price is attained or penetrated. A Stop order is not guaranteed a specific execution price. STOP-ORDER • Click the Ask price to create a BUY order, or the Bid price to create a SELL order. • In the Type field select STP as the order type. • Enter the Stop Election price in the Aux. Price field. • To transmit the order, click the "T" in the Status field.
ORDER TYPES A Stop Limit order is similar to a stop order in that a stop price will activate the order. However, unlike the stop order, which is submitted as a market order when elected, the stop limit order is submitted as a limit order. Use the Lmt Price and Aux. Price fields on the trading screen to enter orders requiring multiple prices or values. STOP-LIMIT ORDER • Click in the Ask Price field to initiate a BUY order, or the Bid Price field to initiate a SELL order. • Click in the Type field and select STP LMT as the order type. • Enter the Limit price in the Lmt Price field. • Enter the Stop Election price in the Aux.

ORDER TYPES MARKET-IF-TOUCHED ORDER (MIT) • Click the Ask price to create a BUY order, or the Bid price to create a SELL order. • In the Type field select MIT as the order type. • In the Aux. Price field, enter the "touched" price to trigger the order. • To transmit the order, click the "T" in the Status field. A market if touched order is designed to buy (or sell) a contract when the market goes below (or above) the current price. The Aux. Price value is the trigger to submit the market order.
ORDER TYPES A trailing stop sell order sets the initial stop price at a fixed amount below the market price. As the market price rises, the stop price rises by the trailing amount, but if the stock price falls, the stop price remains the same. When the stop price is hit, a market order is submitted. Reverse this for a buy trailing stop order. This strategy may allow an investor to limit the maximum possible loss without limiting possible gain. TRAILING-STOP ORDER • Click in the Ask Price to initiate a BUY order, or the Bid Price to initiate a SELL order. • Click in the Type field and select TRAIL from the dropdown list of order types. • Enter a value in the Trailing Amt field.
ORDER TYPES • Display the OCA Group field on an order management line: • On the trading screen, create an order (click in the Ask Price to create a BUY order, or the Bid Price to create a Sell order). • Identify the order as part of an OCA group by entering a group name in the OCA Group field (you can use any descriptive name that you want). • Transmit the OCA order by clicking Transmit Page on the Order menu ONE-CANCELS-ALL ORDER (OCA) A One-Cancels-All (OCA) order is a combination of separate orders that are worked in conjunction with one another in the marketplace. A customer enters orders as part of an OCA group, and when an order is executed, the remaining orders in the group are canceled. If an order is partially executed, the remaining orders in the group are reduced proportionately to the amount that was executed. If an order is canceled before execution, the remaining orders in the group are canceled.
ORDER TYPES BRACKET ORDER • Click the "Ask" or "Bid" price of an asset to create an Order Management line. • On the right-click menu, select Attach and then select Bracket Orders. • Verify that the order parameters are correct. • Transmit the order. Bracket orders are designed to limit your loss and lock in a profit by "bracketing" an order with two opposite-side orders. A BUY order is bracketed by a high-side sell limit order and a low-side sell stop (or stop-limit) order. A SELL order is bracketed by a high-side buy stop (or stop-limit) order and a low side buy limit order.
ORDER TIME IN FORCE The time in force for an order defines the length of time over which an order will continue working before it is canceled. We support many time in force selections ncluding those described below. DAY GTC GTD
