Read the FAQ’s

Can I create a pending order outside trading hours?

Yes. You can create pending orders at any time, including outside official trading hours.

When will my pending order be executed?

Your pending order will only be executed if the target price is reached during official trading hours.

Will my order be executed at the exact target price I set?

Not necessarily. Your order will be executed at the best available market price at that time. This price may differ slightly from your target price due to rapid price movements.

What happens to my funds when I place a buy pending order?

The order amount will be deducted from your balance and held until the order is executed or cancelled.

What happens if I place a sell pending order but don't have enough shares?

If you don’t have enough available shares when the target price is reached, your order will be cancelled and won’t be executed.

How long does a pending order remain active?

Pending orders remain valid for up to 90 days from the order creation date. If the target price isn’t reached within this period, the order will automatically expire and be cancelled.

Can I cancel a pending order?

Yes. You can cancel a pending order at any time before it’s executed.

Where will my order appear after it's executed?

Once executed, your order will appear in the “Transaction history” section.

Are the fees the same as regular market orders?

Yes. The same trading fees apply to regular market orders.

Do Pattern Day Trading (PDT) rules apply to pending orders?

Yes. PDT rules apply to pending orders in the same way they apply to regular market orders.

For example, if you’re restricted by PDT rules and you’ve already created a buy pending order for a stock, you can’t create a sell pending order for the same stock on the same day. This is because if both orders are executed on the same day, it may result in a PDT violation.
