Longbridge Securities Order Type

Longbridge Securities supports 4 order types, each of which is explained below.。

Limit Order

Limit Order (Limit Order) is to buy or sell the underlying at a specified price.。Transactions are executed and closed only in two cases:

When the specified price is reached, or when a better price is reached (lower than the specified bid price, or higher than the specified ask price)

The advantage of a limit order is the opportunity to trade the underlying at a better price, but there is also the opportunity to never trade and miss a good time to invest。

Market Order

Market Order (Market Order) is to buy or sell the underlying at the current market price, do not need to specify the price, only need to set the quantity you want to close.。Market orders can only be placed at the opening of the stock market.。

The advantage of a market order is that it can be closed as soon as possible, but the price of the transaction fluctuates with the market and cannot be controlled.。

Stop Limit Order

Stop Limit Order (Stop Limit Order) refers to the system automatically submits a buy or sell limit order when the market price reaches the user-specified trigger price (Stop Price).。

The biggest difference between a stop-loss limit order and a limit order is that it has an additional "stop-loss trigger" section.。

The stop limit order is divided into two parts: the trigger price (Stop Price) and the limit price (Limit Price), the general operation is "buy high and sell low," allowing users to buy or sell at a specific or better price.。

Simply put, when placing a buy order, the trigger price is higher than the current market price; when placing a sell order, the trigger price is lower than the current market price.。

Condition Order

Condition Orders (Condition Orders) are special trigger orders that require different trigger conditions, such as fixed-point trigger conditions, trailing stop conditions, trigger price, expiration date, order price, quantity, etc.。Before the specified effective date, the system will automatically submit a buy or sell limit order as long as the subject matter of the transaction meets the pre-set conditions.。

In general, if the user wants to set the trade's take profit, stop loss point (i.e. stop profit, stop loss), can use the condition sheet function.。The advantage is that you can pre-control the scope of profit or loss, in the event of extreme market fluctuations, not to miss any investment opportunities, but also to maximize the investment risk and loss to a minimum.。

Changqiao Securities Order Effective Period

The user can choose the validity period of the order when placing the order (limit order), and Long Bridge offers 3 validity periods, including valid on the same day, valid before withdrawal and valid before the expiration date.。

The maximum validity period of the order is 365 days, the overdue system will automatically withdraw the order, the order expires.。

Valid For The Day

Orders are only valid during the stock market trading session on the day the order is placed, and at the close of the stock market, if the order is not filled, the system will automatically withdraw the order.。

Good Till Canceled

The order will remain valid until the order is completed, cancelled by manual withdrawal, or the maximum validity period of 90 days is reached。

Valid before expiration date Set Validity

The user can set the effective date of the order, the upper limit is 365 days。

For example, suppose I place an order to buy shares of Y Company on November 22, 2021, and set "valid on the same day," which means that the order is valid today, and if there is no transaction, the order will be automatically cancelled after the market closes on the 22nd.

Set "valid until withdrawal," the order will remain valid, in the list of pending orders at any time until the transaction.。90 days can not be closed, the system will automatically cancel this order;

Set "effective before the expiration date," the validity period of the order can be extended, belongs to the long-term effective order。Before the set validity period, the order is not closed and will be automatically cancelled。The system will automatically cancel this order if the transaction cannot be completed within 365 days.。

For example, if you want to invest in the Hong Kong market, but use the more convenient and cost-effective ringgit bank transfer deposit, then users cannot directly trade the Hong Kong stock market in ringgit.。The system will remind the account that there is no cash to buy, the transaction has "exceeded the current Hong Kong dollar cash purchasing power."。If you continue to trade, you will use the financing (margin) transaction, after T + 2 you will have to start paying interest, which is calculated on a daily basis.。

Summary

Before trading, investors need to confirm the account balance and require them to pay margin.

When trading in markets such as US stocks, it is crucial to ensure that the US dollar assets raised in the account. This can avoid additional fees or inconveniences caused by exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, for investors who choose financing transactions, special attention should be paid to the calculation and payment of related fees. The interest fees generated by financing transactions are calculated after daily settlement and start to accrue interest on T+2. The minimum interest amount is US$0.01 (or HKD), and the calculation method is that the financing interest on the day is equal to the financing balance after the close of the trading day multiplied by the financing rate divided by 365.

Therefore, while establishing a long-term management mechanism, we also strive to ensure the smooth operation of the customer's balance sheet and ensure that the interests of customers are fully protected, so as to maximize customer value.
