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.

    • I guess US has fund managers and investment banking institutions looking after the portfolios on behalf of their clients.
    • There are many resources related to forex trading available on forums like babypips and forexfactory etc.
    • Candle stick pattern is one of the easiest charting patterns available to learn and make money. However, new traders never learn about the skills needed for earning money but they rush for making money and eventually lose their money.
    • Nothing wrong with being a ‘progressive’. Nothing wrong with being a ‘conservative’.  Very generally, ‘conservatives’ have preponderance of the here and now neurotransmitters, prefer empirical references, the rule of law, and value individual agency (It has been said that conservatives love humans and progressives love humanity) . Very generally, ‘progressives’ are dopaginaric - driven by passion for a better possible future, prefer references to others  (Example Karmela won’t answer questions with facts.  She cites the opinion of 18 ‘experts’), have a penchant for rule by man/mobs not by law , and value ‘societal' agency.  However, excesses of either tendency indicates mental illness, collective malaise, and has consequences.  When either camp is systematically captured by control seekers and/or, situationally by mobs, the whole is lessened. A key sign that is occurring is when one side no longer allows disagreement.  Progressives have  currently gone crazy in those excesses and are no longer allowing anything but unithought... examples - You can still be a vocal pro choice republican.  Try being a vocal pro life democrat. For snicks just try it.  You’ll get cancelled.  Bust a myth about blacks in America, true up the real  history of Republicans ending slavery and what has happened since, how the democrats are the party of the KKK, how Obama did not a fkn thang for blacks in general, be a black republican, etc.    You will get canceled in a heartbeat. Step up and question the social agendas of federally subsidized schools at a board meeting... get treated like shit and also get an immediate case number with the FBI ... Question the requirements to watch and lickkiss the 'rainbows' and also make sure your kids show up for it, not to mention fund transitions out of your pocket and see what you get ‘labeled’ Question mainstream media bias - even just to mention that biased, agenda driven narrative is different from truth in reporting - and see what happens to your voice... Excesses have consequences... imbalances have consequences... just sayin’
