Order Type

Description

Limit

A Limit Order allows the buyer to define the maximum price to pay and the seller the minimum price to accept (the Limit Price). Buy Limit Orders shall be matched at the stipulated price or lower and Sell Limit Orders shall be matched at the stipulated price or higher.

Market

A Market Order is an order that shall be executed at the best available price(s) as quickly as possible.

Market-Limit (MKTLMT)

Market-Limit Orders are executed at the best price available in the market. If the Market-Limit Order can only be partially filled, the order becomes a Limit Order and the remaining quantity remains on the Order Book at the specified Limit Price.

Stop

Stop Orders are implemented using a "Stop with Protection" approach. Stop Orders with Protection are intended to avoid cascading Stop Orders being filled at extreme prices. A Stop Order with Protection is activated when the market trades at the Stop Trigger Price and can only be executed within the Protection Range Limits. The order enters the Order Book as a Limit Order with the Protection Price Limit equal to the Trigger Price plus or minus the pre-defined Protection Point Range. For Bid Orders, Protection Points are added to the Trigger Price to calculate the Protection Price Limit. For Ask Orders, Protection Points are subtracted from the Trigger Price. The order will be matched at all price levels between the Trigger Price and the Protection Price Limit. If the order is not completely filled, the remaining quantity is placed in the Order Book at the Protection Price Limit.

Stop Limit (STWL)

Stop-Limit orders are activated when an order's Trigger Price is traded in the market. For a Bid Order, the Trigger Price must be higher than the last Traded Price. For a Sell Order, the Trigger Price must be lower than the last Traded Price. After the Trigger Price is traded in the market, the order enters the Order Book as a Limit Order at the Order Limit Price. The Limit Price is the highest/lowest price at which the Stop Order can be filled. The order can be filled at all price levels between the Trigger Price and the Limit Price. If any quantity remains unfilled, it remains on the Order Book as a Limit Order at the Limit Price.

Order Lifetime

Description

Day

Day orders are intended to be active only during that trading day. Day orders automatically expire at the end of the day and do not carry over to the next trade date.

Good-Till-Cancelled (GTC)

GTC orders remain active in the Order Book until they are completely executed, cancelled or when the instrument expires.

Good-Till-Date (GTD)

GTD orders remain active on the Order Book until they are completely executed, expire at the specified date, are cancelled, or when the instrument expires.

Fill-and-Kill (FAK)

FAK orders are immediately executed against resting orders. If the order cannot be fully filled, the remaining balance is cancelled. A minimum quantity can be specified. If the specified minimum quantity cannot be filled, the order is cancelled.

Fill-or-Kill (FOK)

FOK orders must be fully filled immediately or the entire order is cancelled. An FOK order is created by using the FAK qualifier and setting the minimum quantity to the original order quantity.

Yes, you can cancel or revise the quantity/price of your active orders if the orders have not been matched.
