GTT (Good Till Triggered)

What is a GTT order?

GTT stands for Good Till Triggered. A regular order is valid only for the trading day. A GTT order, by contrast, waits until the market reaches your trigger price. When the trigger is hit, your order is placed.

This lets you set up an entry, target or stop-loss in advance and step away, instead of watching prices all day.

GTT works only on brokers that offer a GTT feature. The number of GTT orders allowed and how long they stay valid are set by your broker.

Does your broker support GTT?

GTT works only on brokers that offer a GTT feature on their own platform. The easiest way to find out if your broker is supported is to test it:

1. Place a small sample GTT order from the Portfolio screen (see Place a GTT order below).
2. If it saves and rests without an error, your broker supports GTT.
3. If you get an error, or you do not see the GTT option for that account, your broker may not support it yet.

If GTT is not available for your broker, please contact support or suggest it as a feature request, and we will look into adding it.

Place a GTT order

1. Open the menu (Trading -> Portfolio).
2. Create a GTT order, choose the account and symbol, and set the trigger price along with the order details (quantity, price, order type).
3. Save it. The GTT now rests until the trigger price is reached.

Modify or cancel a GTT order

Your resting GTT orders are listed in the Portfolio.

• Modify — open a GTT to change its trigger price or order details, then save.
• Cancel — remove a GTT you no longer want. A GTT also goes away once it has triggered and the order is placed.

Good to know

• GTT support is still in BETA for some brokers. If you notice any issue, please report it to us so we can look into it.
• A GTT only places an order when it triggers — keep enough margin in the account so the order can go through when that happens.
• The GTT limits (how many you can keep, how long they last) depend on your broker.
