What is a Limit Order?

A Limit Order is an order to buy or sell a stock at a specific price or lower / higher.

A Buy Limit Order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a Sell Limit Order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. A Limit Order can only be filled if the stock's market price reaches the limit price. While limit orders do not guarantee execution, they help ensure that an investor does not pay more than a pre-determined price for a stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Example: An investor wants to purchase shares of ABC stock for no more than $10. The investor could submit a Buy Limit Order for this amount, and the order will only be executed if the price of ABC stock is $10 or lower. The same concept can be applied to Sell Limit Orders.
Limit Orders let you enter and exit trades with precision. Traders typically use Limit Orders to improve price and take advantage of pullbacks in price. However, you have to enter them correctly to ensure they accomplish the goal of improving price – that is, to get a specified price or better.
Market Orders are transactions meant to execute as quickly as possible at the present or market price. Conversely, a Limit Order sets the maximum or minimum price at which you are willing to buy or sell.

What is a Stop Limit Order?

A Stop Limit order is an order to buy or sell a stock once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the Trigger Price. Once the trigger price is reached, a Stop Limit order becomes a limit order that will be executed at a specified price (or better).

Are Stop Limit Orders available on POEMS?

POEMS 2.0, POEMS Mobile 2.0, POEMS Mobile 3 and POEMS Pro
Stop Limit orders are supported for orders on SGX, NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Depending on what position you are holding (long or short), there are two types of Stop Limit orders:
Sell Stop Limit

This is the Stop Limit order when you have a long position on a security. In this case, the trigger price is placed below current market price of the security.
Buy Stop Limit

This is the Stop Limit order when you have a short position on a security. In this case, the trigger price is placed above current market price of the security.
The benefit of a Stop Limit order is that it allows the investor to enter a new position or exit an outstanding position when the price surpasses a particular price level. It also allows one to minimise losses on an existing long or short position.

The disadvantage is that there will be no guarantee that the order will be filled in the event the price gaps through the limit price. In such an event, the order will not be filled.

Example: Assume that stock SGX is trading at $6.81 and an investor wants to BUY once it begins to show an upward momentum. The investor places a Stop Limit order to BUY with trigger price at $6.83 and limit price at $6.84. If the price of SGX reaches the trigger price of $6.83, the order is activated and turns into a limit order. As long as the order can be filled under $6.84 (the limit price), then the trade will be done/part done. If the stock gaps above $6.84, the order may not be filled.
Before using a Stop Limit order, investors should consider the following:

As with all limit orders, a Stop Limit order may not be executed if the stock’s price moves away from the specified limit price, which may occur in a fast-moving market.

Short-term market fluctuations in a stock’s price can activate a Stop Limit order, so trigger price and limit price should be selected carefully.

US Stop Limit Buy (Sell) order placed prior to market opening through POEMS Trading Platforms (POEMS 2.0, POEMS Mobile 2.0, POEMS Mobile 3, POEMS Pro) will be elected and effected as a Limit Order if the opening price is above (below) the Buy (Sell) trigger price.

For US Stop Limit Order, the default stop trigger on POEMS Trading Platforms is based on the last done price. For SG Stop Limit Order, the default stop trigger on POEMS Trading Platforms is the bid/ask/last done price.
Step 1: Under the trade ticket, select “Stop Limit Order” from the dropdown menu under “Order Type” / “Type”, then choose the “Trigger based on” / “Stop Trigger”

What is a Limit-if-Touched (LIT) order?

A Limit-if-Touched is an order to buy (or sell) a contract at a specified price or better, below (or above) the market. This order is held in the system until the trigger price is touched. An LIT order is similar to a Stop Limit order, except that an LIT sell order is placed above the current market price, and a Stop Limit sell order is placed below.

A LIT order is similar to a Limit order except that a LIT Buy order allows the trader to ensure market support (trigger price) is reached before entering a Limit Buy order with such a price that the buy order has a high probability to be filled, while a limit buy order may or may not be filled when last done price is traded at this price.

Are Limit-if-Touched orders available on POEMS?

POEMS 2.0, POEMS Mobile 2.0 and POEMS Mobile 3
LIT Orders are currently supported for orders on SGX only.

POEMS Pro
LIT Orders are supported for orders on SGX, NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Example 1: ABC shares are currently trading at $2.60. An investor wants to open a long position to buy 10 lots of ABC shares only when the price of ABC shares falls back to $2.50. However, he also wants to buy at a better price than $2.50, for instance $2.40. In this case, the investor can enter a LIT buy order with an order trigger price of $2.50 and a limit price of $2.40. During the day, if the price of ABC shares starts falling from $2.60 and reaches $2.50, the LIT buy order is converted into a limit buy order for 10 lots of ABC shares at $2.40. The buy limit order will only be executed at $2.40 or better price. If the market price never goes down to $2.40 or better, the order will not be executed.

Example 2: An investor enters a Limit-if-Touched sell order at $3.45 for 10 lots of ABC shares with trigger price $3.50. The price of ABC shares starts rising from an opening price of $3.30 and reaches $3.50 intraday. Upon the price of ABC shares reaching $3.50, the Limit-if-touched order is triggered, and is converted into a limit sell order of $3.45 for 10 lots of ABC shares to make sure the sell order has a high probability to be done.
Limit-if-Touched order benefits investors by providing the flexibility to buy and sell at specific price levels without investors having to constantly monitor market movements. It is particularly of use in fast-moving markets, when investors may not be able to react in time to take advantage of buying or selling opportunities.
The difference between a Stop Limit order and a Limit-if-Touched order is that a Stop Limit order is typically used as a loss-limiting mechanism in respect of open positions, while a Limit-if-Touched order is used to create new positions in anticipation of a particular reversing trend.
Do take note of the following:
  1. For Advanced Orders, customers are to ensure that their trading accounts have sufficient buy or sell trading limits to allow orders to be submitted when the Stop Limit Order’s triggering conditions are met. Otherwise, the order triggered may be rejected due to insufficient trading limit.
  2. Please take note that the Trigger Price cannot exceed 30 bids from the Last Done Price and the Limit Price cannot exceed 30 bids from the Trigger Price.
  3. There is no guarantee that the Stop Limit Order/Limit-if-Touched Order will be filled in the event the price exceeds the Limit Price.
  4. Please note that Advanced Orders can only be triggered during the market open phase. Overnight Advanced Orders may get rejected by the exchange after the market is open if the limit price is outside of the allowed price range when the Advanced Order is triggered.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Example: An investor owns shares of company XYZ, currently trading for $25 per share. He believes the shares are undervalued, and expects the price to climb another $20.

What is a Market order?

A Market Order is an order placement with a defined quantity but without a price. It will be traded at the best price currently available in the market.

Market orders will automatically convert the order to an aggressive limit order within a certain limit “in the money”. Please note that it is a client’s responsibility to check if the order is filled in the market after order entry. Particularly when market changes quickly. For stocks not actively traded, market orders often are executed at different price level and at price too high or too low.

Although these limit prices are set at a level intended to balance the objectives of execution certainty and minimized price risk, there exists a remote possibility that an execution will be delayed or may not take place.

If you experience or suspect any errors with your order, you should contact Phillip Securities Pte Ltd immediately.

*Disclaimer
The advance order is a convenient online transaction method provided by Phillip Securities Pte Ltd for customers. Phillip Securities Pte Ltd provides as stable service as possible, but we cannot guarantee its absolute reliability. If the advanced order is not executed due to network interruption, server abnormality and other physical factors or any others factors , Phillip Securities Pte Ltd will not be liable for any loss or damage caused thereby.
