--Source: Tiger Securities official website
Limit Order
A limit order (Limit Order) is an order to buy and sell at a specific price.。Orders 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)
Advantages: You can lock in the presentation price range and even trade at a better price, i.e. buy at a lower price or sell at a higher price.。
Note: If the price has not reached the specified price, the order will not be executed。Therefore, this order may not be able to close, and miss the investment market.。
Market Order
Market Order (Market Order) is the current market price to place an order to buy and sell, do not need to set their own price, decide the number of transactions can be。
Advantages: can be the fastest speed to close orders, to seize market opportunities, stop loss or take profit purpose。
Note: Market orders can only be placed at the opening of the stock market.。And a market order guarantees a deal, but not a deal price。Simply put, the price of the transaction fluctuates with the market and may be executed at a higher or lower price。
Stop Order
Stop Order (Stop Order) refers to setting a specified stop-loss trigger price (Stop Price) in the order, when the stock price reaches the trigger price, the system automatically submits a buy or sell market order.。
Advantages: Set the target price of stop loss in advance, can control the degree of loss, protect the principal。
Note: Setting a stop-loss order does not guarantee 100% success in placing an order and closing a deal, and will be affected by factors such as insufficient purchasing power and insufficient positions, resulting in failure to trigger an order.。And there is no guarantee that the system's orders will be sold on the same day, because, like ordinary orders, it depends on the market's buying and selling orders.。If there is no transaction on the same day, the order will be cancelled.。
Stop Limit Order
Stop Limit Order (Stop Limit Order) refers to the setting of a specified stop-loss trigger price (Stop Price) and Limit Price (Limit Price) in the order, when the stock price reaches the trigger price, the system automatically submits a buy or sell limit order.。
The biggest difference between a stop-loss limit order and a stop-loss order is the addition of the "limit" part.。Stop orders will be in the form of market orders, so that the order as quickly as possible, but does not guarantee the transaction price;
A stop-loss limit order, on the other hand, will use a limit order as a pending order to guarantee the closing price, but does not guarantee that the order will be closed.。
Advantages: to limit orders, you can avoid the transaction price and the expected price has too much difference。
Note: When placing a buy order, the limit price (Limit Price) should be greater than the trigger price (Stop Price); when selling, the trigger price (Stop Price) should be less than the limit price (Limit Price) to avoid rapid price declines leading to widening losses。
For example, if you buy stock A for $100 and want to keep your maximum loss at 10%, you can make the next stop-loss limit order to sell, with a trigger price (Stop Price) of $91 and a limit price (Limit Price) of $90.。
When the stock price drops to $91, the system automatically submits a sell order with a limit of $90 (selling shares of Company A at $90)。When the stock price drops to $90, this sell order has a chance to close。
Conditional Order
Conditional Order (Conditional Order) needs to meet several trigger conditions at the same time, such as stock price trend, trigger price (Stop Price), limit price (Limit Price), etc., the system will automatically submit a buy or sell limit order or market price order.。
Users can modify and cancel orders at any time。If the trigger condition has not been met, you can also modify the trigger condition。
Simply put, the condition sheet is a more flexible limit order, and the ability to specify the trend of the stock price "up" or "down" to submit a limit order.。
Advantages: suitable for operation when the market is stable, want to set the trade take profit and stop loss point, can use conditional order operation。
Note: Conditional orders will only be triggered during the session, and stock price fluctuations before and after the session will not affect the trigger conditions.。
Additional Order
Additional Order (Additional Order) is in addition to the main order, plus a sub-order, can be a limit order (take profit use), stop loss order (stop loss limit order / stop loss order, stop loss use), to achieve the effect of the master order take profit or stop loss.。
Advantages: to take profit and stop loss operations
Note: At present, additional orders do not support pre-market trading hours, the main order can only be attached to a sub-order, when the main order is withdrawn, the associated sub-order will also be withdrawn.。Of course, it is also possible to cancel only sub-orders。

Account holding different currencies, how to trade different overseas markets?
As mentioned earlier, users can hold multi-currency assets in Tiger Securities, such as USD, HKD, SGD, RMB and AUD.。
When placing an order, the securities account must hold the corresponding currency assets, such as trading U.S. stocks, must hold U.S. dollars;。
If the account does not hold the currency asset and wants to invest in other markets, there are two ways.
◇ Use the built-in currency exchange function
◇ Use the financing transaction first, then exchange the foreign exchange to return the loan to Tiger Securities.
Use the built-in currency exchange feature
For example, if you want to invest in U.S. stocks, you can use the currency exchange function built into Tiger Securities to transfer the new dollar to the U.S. dollar.。
The method is to go to "transaction," in the middle of the function column, choose "exchange," set the currency and amount to be transferred。
The system will show what the current exchange rate is and what the maximum convertible cash is.。The time required for general exchange is T + 2, which takes about 2 to 3 working days to process。
After the exchange is completed, Tiger Securities will be notified via app push and email.。
Attention should be paid when exchanging foreign exchange:
◇ Only cash assets can be exchanged for currency, and the maximum amount of convertibility is based on how much cash is held in the account.。
The currencies supported by Tiger Securities include: Singapore dollar, US dollar, Hong Kong dollar, RMB, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, euro, British pound, Japanese yen.。
◇ The exchange rate for currency exchange is subject to real-time changes and is based on the actual transaction rate.。
Currency exchange time: 06: 20 to 04: 55 (Singapore time)。Note that currency conversion is not supported between 12: 00 and 13: 00 due to system settlement requirements。
Tiger Securities does not charge currency exchange fees.。
Use of financing transactions
Because the exchange needs T + 2 processing, if you don't want to miss the investment opportunity, you can also use the financing transaction (margin) first, and then exchange the loan back to Tiger Securities.。
For example, if you have S $10,000 in cash in your account and haven't exchanged it for U.S. dollars, you can use the S $10,000 cash to buy U.S. stocks in a financing transaction, and then transfer the S $10,000 cash to U.S. dollars and return it to Tiger Securities.。
When placing an order, if the account does not hold cash, it will automatically be financed。This loan will incur interest, which generally does not exceed 0 per day..018%。
SUMMARY
These are Tiger Securities orders to buy and sell stocks, as well as the currency exchange process.。At the time of the transaction, cash or financing transactions may be used。It is important to note that financing transactions generate daily interest and there is also the risk of leverage, so be careful before investing。
