Yeah, but you can't set a limit order "on trend"...

Posted by: Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin on Dec 11, 07:17 in response to Baron_Darcon's post From what I understand waiting to buy until the IPO is...

For example, if a stock IPO's for $20, you can't set a limit order for $20.01 to buy the next day - it will execute the order as long as the strike price is equal or LESS, which means it would execute the buy order immediately.  The opposite for shorting.  A short price order of $19.99 executes when the value is equal or GREATER, so it would also execute immediately and not the next day.

You could put in a limit order, for example, to short at $21, which might or moght not execute the next day, and be reverse of trend, as the stock would be rising - having risen already $1...

Is this what you're asking?
