Price Triggered Orders (“PTOs”) allow market participants to buy or sell an instrument when the trigger price condition is reached.

• PTOs can only be entered, modified, cancelled and triggered during Open phase.
• PTOs cannot be entered, modified, cancelled and triggered during a trading halt.
• It is not visible to the market before it is converted to the specific order.
• Once the price meets the condition that was set up, the Price Triggered Order will be converted to an active tradable order.
• PTOs can be entered with any order type and validity for the to-be-triggered order. However, validation of the allowable order type and validity for the to-be-triggered order will be done upon activation of the order.
• PTOs not activated by end of the trading day will be automatically deleted from the system. This means there are no long dated PTOs.

a) Trigger Price Type: Best Bid / Best Ask / Last Done.
b) Trigger Direction: Greater than or Equal (≥) / Less than or Equal (≤).
c) Trigger Price.

Price Triggered Orders benefit investors by allowing them to trade without having to constantly monitor market movements.

PTOs can be used to:
a) Minimize a loss or protect a profit on an existing long position.

Generally used as a protection against runaway prices. For instance, in a falling market, an investor who is long on a stock may want to enter a PTO which will likely limit the losses faced.

Example:
An investor bought 100 shares at $13 and wishes to limit his loss by placing a Market order to Sell his shares when the price ≤ $10.

b) Initiate a new long position.
PTOs are useful for breakout trades where an investor wants his order executed only if the market trades past a particular price (i.e. resistance).

Example:
The price of a share is $30 and the investor is planning to place a GTD limit order to buy at $31 if the last done price ≥ $31.

• Trigger price can be triggered by short term fluctuation in a stock’s price.
• For PTO market orders, once the trigger price is reached, the order will be converted into a market order. The transacted price can be different from the intended price especially in a low liquidity environment. Additional Purchasing Power of 3% is required to cater for price uncertainty. Unused Purchasing Power on-hold will be released immediately once the order is filled.
• Limit price has to be within 30 bids of the Trigger Price
