What is the time-in-force and order filling

1. Time in force

When placing an order, investors can choose its validity period. Moomoo MY currently supports Day, Good Till Cancelled (GTC) orders, and Good Till Date (GTD) orders.

Time in Force

Description

Day

The order is active until the end of relevant trading sessions on the day it is placed. Unfilled orders will be cancelled afterwards.

Good Till Cancelled (GTC)

The order remains active until it is fully filled or cancelled.

GTC orders have a maximum validity period of 90 days, after which the order will be automatically cancelled.

Good Till Date (GTD)
The order will remain active until the market close of a specified date, unless it fails or is fully filled or cancelled. If the specified date is a non-trading day and the order remains unfilled, it will be cancelled automatically after the market closes on the last trading day prior to the specified date.

 

2. Order filling trading sessions

Investors have access to extended-hours trading, which means they can trade in the pre-market and post-market trading hours. Investors can choose whether to allow fill outside regular trading hours (RTH) when placing orders.

2.1 Fill outside RTH allowed (RTH + Pre/Post-Mkt)

Orders will be matched during the pre-market and post-market trading hours as well as the RTH. Unfilled orders during the pre-market trading hours will be automatically transferred to the RTH, and unfilled orders during the RTH will be automatically transferred to the post-market trading hours.

2.2 Fill outside RTH not allowed (Regular Trading Hours)

Orders will only be matched during the RTH.

2.3 Overnight trading

Orders can be placed and matched in Overnight Trading Session, and unfulfilled orders will be cancelled automatically at the end of Overnight Trading Session.
