Placing an Equity Order

To place an equity order, open the order ticket from the platform launcher or from an instrument page. Review every field before submitting.

Typical equity ticket fields:

• Symbol.
• Side, such as buy or sell.
• Quantity.
• Order type, such as market or limit when available.
• Price fields for order types that require a price.
• Time in force.
• Extended-hours setting if available.
• Estimated buying power or margin impact.

Before submitting:

1. Confirm the symbol.
2. Confirm buy or sell.
3. Confirm quantity.
4. Confirm order type and price, if applicable.
5. Confirm time in force.
6. Review estimated cost, margin, or buying-power impact.
7. Submit only if the order matches the user's own intent.

Contact support if an order cannot be submitted, shows an unexpected error, or appears to have submitted incorrectly.

Skip order confirmations

The platform may include a setting to skip order confirmations. When enabled, supported orders may submit without an additional confirmation prompt.

Before using this setting, users should understand that it can make order entry faster but also reduces the chance to catch mistakes before submission. Users should carefully review the following before submitting:

• Symbol
• Side
• Quantity
• Order type
• Price
• Time in force
• Estimated impact

Contact support immediately for mistaken orders, unexpected submissions, disputes, rejected cancels, or execution concerns.

Exchanges and the over-the-counter markets have specific rules governing erroneous executions. Most trading errors will not qualify as erroneous executions and will not be eligible to be busted or adjusted.
