We have launched 3 new U.S. market order types: Market Order, Market on Open Order and Market on Close Order.
Market Order
An order placement with a defined quantity but no price. It will be traded at the best price currently available in the market.
Market on Open (MOO) Order
An order placement with a defined quantity but without a price. It is placed before a market is opened and will be executed at the Primary Market’s opening price for that day.
Market on Close (MOC) Order
An order placement with a defined quantity but without a price. It is placed during the market trading session and will be executed at the Primary Market’s closing for the day.
