As to how they work, or how to place them?

Posted by: ndmaster on May 11, 12:14 in response to nikedj1909's post been playing for a long time as well but have never used...

I'll explain both. To place limit orders, just use the advanced trader, inputing the ticker, # of shares, buy/sell/short/cover, the price and when it will expire (default and longest is a month out).

ON HSX, limit orders are "at a set price OR BETTER", so that means that if you are waiting to sell a stock or bond that is at currently at 150 and you want to sell or short it at 155, enter the limit at 155 and it will execute only when it gets to 155. Same for shorting. The "or better" would be a higher price. This means you cannot use limits as stop losses. i.e. In the same sitation, if you want to cut your losses if same stock goes to 145 and you enter a limit at 145, it will execute immediately, since the current price of 150 is better. Opposite is true for buying and covering price-wise.

So, in the instance of AVNG4, I entered all of my sell orders just under the adjust price, so that as soon as they adjust, the sells will execute.

Hope this helps.

Count 47 Star Bonds attached to AVNG4. It will be a long night of adjusts! {nm} laujer May 07, 13:07

So...you know that the movie adjusts at 250. You can calculat exact Adjust Price. You can start to do your BONDS xXx May 08, 16:30

Smart players can even program limit orders so they have to do nothing on adjust day! {nm} RazorHawk May 08, 17:45
