Longer than "day" order expiry


R-Walker

Question

Is there a way to set an order to not expire at the end of the day? Most other trading platforms (all I've used: Commsec, NAB Trade, even my SMSF with ING) has the ability to set an order with a set price per share and make it last up to a month.

Currently to do something similar would mean login into IG every day and recreating the order from scratch - if you forget, and the price shifts - you miss the sale/buy you wanted. The annoyance of this is compounded as the [very basic] iOS app for IG doesn't let you see what price you had on an expired order.

I'm not a day-trader.

I have the same problem.

I'm on the UK version and trying to set up Limit orders on the LSE.

I only see 'Deal' and 'Alert' options on my platform too (both on app and desktop), same as R-Walker. I have a dealing account and an ISA but no spread betting account.. Would also like to set up expiries of longer than a day, it's painful having to set them up daily when the market opens.. Thx

I've spoken to our Aus shares desk and they confirmed we only allow limit day to be sent when market is closed.

For Aus shares, (9pm UK time) we allow Limit Day and GTC, when market trading (11pm UK time) we allow Limit Day, Execute and Eliminate, GTC, Market Day, Market E&E, FOK, Stop Day, Stop GTC etc

Sorry for any inconveneince caused. I will pass your thoughts on the matter to our shares desk and risk team to assess. 

All the best

Hi, same experience here.

AU platform, trying to do this for a US stock.

This would be very useful and, as mentioned, seems a rather basic functionality.

I can't believe we can no longer set buy stops on the AU share trading platform out of market hours. (it was available when I first joined) Or for US stocks, would make things so much easier.  Currently looking at other brokers as it is seriously limiting what I trade.  You should be able to set a trigger buy and stop loss order in the same ticket.

DETAILS: Looking for upside into wave {iii} as we seem to have completed wave {ii} of 5 after successfully completing the triangle in wave 4.     COST Elliott Wave Analysis Trading Lounge 4Hr Chart, Costco Wholesale Corp., (COST) 4Hr Chart COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Motive POSITION: Wave (iii) of {iii} DIRECTION: Wave (iii). DETAILS: Looking for upside into wave (iii), knowing we could switch to a more conservative count where current wave (i) and (ii) is wave {iii} and {iv}. Equality of {iii} vs. {i} stands at 900$.   Welcome to our latest Elliott Wave analysis for Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST). This analysis provides an in-depth look at COST's price movements using the Elliott Wave Theory, helping traders identify potential opportunities based on current trends and market structure. We will cover insights from both the daily and 4-hour charts to offer a comprehensive perspective on COST's market behavior.   * COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* In our Elliott Wave analysis of Costco Wholesale Corp. (COST), we observe an impulsive trend characterized by a motive structure. COST is currently positioned in wave 5, specifically in wave {iii} of 5, indicating an upside move. After successfully completing the triangle in wave 4, COST has finished wave {ii} of 5 and is now poised to move higher into wave {iii}. This wave is expected to gain momentum, pushing prices upward as it unfolds. Traders should monitor the progression of wave {iii} closely, as it may present opportunities for long positions, especially if COST continues to show strength above key resistance levels.   *COST Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* On the 4-hour chart, COST is also following an impulsive trend within a motive structure, specifically in wave (iii) of {iii}. The analysis suggests an upside continuation into wave (iii), with an awareness that current wave (i) and (ii) might be a more conservative count as wave {iii} and {iv}. This suggests that if the market confirms this alternate view, COST could target equality of wave {iii} vs. wave {i} at $900. Traders should be prepared for potential adjustments in the wave count and watch for consolidation or corrective patterns that might precede further upward movements.   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!

    • Alpha Trade breaks through the liquidity dilemma of 2024 In 2024, with the continuous enrichment and increase of market trading strategies, and the wave of international politics and interest disparities, the volatility of gold and the Japanese yen has also shown significant fluctuations. In this environment, we will find that more and more retailers are conflicting with investors, generally involving trading violations. One of the major reasons for this conflict is that retailers lack liquidity or cannot fully meet the frequency of investor strategies, resulting in a large number of sliding points or even negative values, which is the least desirable situation for industry development. As a leading global liquidity provider, Alpha Trade provides ample liquidity services to retail institutions and high-quality customers in the market through partnerships with dozens of banks, investment banks, and non banking institutions. For some special strategies and trading varieties, we still customize a tailored liquidity plan through the combination and optimization of liquidity plans, providing the most practical guarantee for customer profitability.
