How are stop-loss and target orders placed in case of a partial execution of the primary leg of a GTT order?
Traders utilising the GTT (Good Till Triggered) order type should be aware of the mechanism for stop loss and target orders when a primary leg of the order is partially filled and taking into account the difference between intraday and delivery orders.
Intraday orders:
Neither the target nor stop-loss orders are placed until the primary leg has been filled in its entirety.
If the primary leg is partially filled, the amount that is still pending will be cancelled automatically.
And the filled amount will be squared off on the same trading day, thus no positions will remain the next day.
Delivery Orders:
Target & stop-loss orders will not be created until the primary leg is filled.
If the primary leg is only partially filled when the market closes, the unfilled portion is cancelled at the end of the trading day.
Any portion filled is reflected in the "positions" or "holdings" tab.
Target and stop-loss orders for the filled portion will be created on the next trading day, reflecting the exact filled quantity of the primary leg.
Takeaway:
This process allows for more precise risk management and avoids the possibility of unaware order fills.
Traders should monitor partial fills and be aware that intraday and delivery GTT orders will behave differently.
