Good til cancelled order


Recommended Posts

Hi - can i just check my understanding here...if i place a GTC order to sell on a specific forex pair at 18941 with a stop loss at 19000 and the price goes up and beyond 19000, then the GTC is not triggered? It will only trigger at my sell (or buy) price?

New to trading and not used orders previously : )

Hi, not sure if I'm understanding you right, a GTC (Good til you Cancel the order) just replaces an order that is automatically canceled at the end of day so it will stay in waiting on your chart. If price tags the sell order level 18941 then the order is triggered and the short is initiated, if price then moves up and tags 19000 then the stop loss will trigger and the trade closed out.

Thank you for the prompt reply. Sorry, should have said, if in my example, the GTC sell order is not triggered at 18941, but the price moves beyond the stop loss at 19000, then the fact that the price has moved beyond the stop loss would not also trigger the GTC ?

no the the limit or stop sell order needs to be triggered first for the stop loss to become activated.

    • Dear @Dan_SB, You have the option to add a trailing stop on the deal ticket just like setting a regular stop. To do this, you will need to specify both the stop distance, which is the same as a normal stop and the trailing step. Here are the steps to add a trailing stop on the deal ticket: 1. Click on the drop-down menu under ‘stop’ 2. Select ’trailing’ 3. Enter your stop and trailing step where prompted. Enter your stop and trailing step where prompted NB: The trailing stop option will not be available on the deal ticket if you are placing a working order.
