Stop Order or Logical Order ?

Recommended Posts

hi, guys,

 

I've got a question regarding stop orders:

 

For example, my balance is $20K so my buying power is 40K. What happens if I enter 2 stop orders - one to buy GOOG for the whole amount of 40K and another one is to buy AAPL aslo for the whole amount of 40K. On the next the first order (GOOG) gets executed and I buy GOOG shares for 40K. And at the same day the price of AAPL also hits my second stop order, but at this moment I won't have 40K available as I've already bought GOOG for 40K.

 

Will the second order just be canceled?

 

Or is there any way to enter 2 orders so that as soon as one of them is filled for 40K the other one is canceled automatically?

 

I've written an email with the same question to just2trade.com and they told me the following:

 

Our system will not allow you to place to open buy orders if the combined amounts of the orders exceed your actual buying power. In other words, the platform will subtract from your balances the value of the first buy order and will only allow you enter another buy order for whatever buying power you have left.

 

 

So are there any brokers which will let me do the following?

 

Thanks all in advance.

Regarding the buying power, I don't know of any broker which would allow your open orders to exceed your buying power. Regarding the stop orders though, what you would want is a "one cancels other" ("OCO") order. Ask your broker if they support this kind of order.

Me neither, I seem to remember when I traded equities that the platform I used (cybertrader) used to handle baskets of stocks and other sophisticated things. I never used that stuff or investigated how buying power was calculated.

Asia & European Sessions: Wall Street rallied into the close with the S&P500 and Dow registering more record highs with the S&P500 climbing 0.57% to 6045, its 52nd new peak for 2024. The Dow rose 0.28% to 44,860.3 for its 46th record of the year. The NASDAQ advanced 0.63%. Trump named Jamieson Greer as the US Trade Representative and Kevin Hassett to direct the National Economic Council.

President Biden announced Israel and Hezbollah have reached a cease fire. Over the next 60 days the Lebanese army and state security will take control of their own territory and Israel will gradually withdraw its forces. FOMC minutes: Minutes from the Fed’s latest policy meeting revealed officials leaning toward a cautious approach to future rate cuts. All agreed to cut the rate by -25 bps and nearly all thought risks between achieving employment and inflation goals were “roughly in balance.” Upside risks to the inflation outlook were little changed, and while inflation had eased, it remained elevated. The implied December rate continues to hover around a 50-50 bet as we await the PCE price data Wednesday and the crucial jobs report on December 6. The January 2025 rate is priced for a total of 20 bps in cuts, with -75 bps by January 2026. RBNZ cut its cash rate by 50 bps, yet the Kiwi gained as traders analyzed the central bank’s rate outlook and the governor’s remarks. Chinese government approved a 500 billion yuan ($69 billion) bond quota, enabling two state-owned asset managers to issue bonds for funding projects aimed at spurring economic growth. Today: US inflation and economic growth may provide clues to the Federal Reserve’s next policy move. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has dropped to currently 106.459. The Yen climbed with USDJPY pulling back to 151.82, while NZDUSD jumped to 0.5900 despite the RBNZ’s 50 bps rate cut. Oil prices stabilized at $68.84, with optimism over delayed OPEC+ output increases balancing the reduced geopolitical risk stemming from the ceasefire. Gold rebounds to 2653.54, with next Resistance at 2660-2664. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.
