1. What is a Conditional Order?
The conditional order is a trading tool that allows investors to set trigger conditions for stocks in advance. During the validity period, once the stock price reaches these conditions, the system will automatically send the investor’s buy or sell orders to the exchange.
It may help investors seize opportunities during market fluctuations, while minimizing risks and losses.
2. Types of Conditional Orders
Conditional order types supported by M+ Global for trading in the US & HK Market are:
- Arrival Price Order
- Stop Loss Order
- Stop Loss Limit Order
- Take Profit Order

2.1 Arrival Price Order
An arrival price conditional order means that the ordering system submits a buy or sell limit order / market order when the stock market price reaches the trigger price specified by the customer.
Scenario 1: You want to buy Share A and assume it will go lower than USD 10. You can set a buy price conditional order with a “Trigger Price” of USD 7 and an “Order Price” of USD 6.9.
Scenario 2: You want to buy AAPL at USD 98. If you set a normal limit order, the order is only valid for one day. If the order is not completed on the same day, it will be invalid and you will need to place a new order.
To avoid placing new orders daily, you can set a “Trigger Price” of USD 98, an “Order Price” of USD 98, and select “Good till Cancelled”. You no longer have to worry about the order expiring and placing a new order.

A stop loss order is a market price order submitted to sell when the market price reaches the stop loss price specified by the customer.
Scenario
You hold AAPL with a cost price of USD 100. The stock price has been falling recently. In order to avoid excessive losses caused by the stock’s sharp decline in the future, you can submit a sell stop order with a stop loss price of USD 90. If the stock price drops to USD 90 or below at this time, the system will automatically submit a market order to the exchange and the transaction will be executed at the market price (the transaction price is not
guaranteed).

2.3 Stop Loss Limit Order (System Auto Cut Loss at Price that you wish to SELL)
The stop loss limit order submits a sell limit order when the market price reaches the stop loss price specified by the client.
Scenario

In order to avoid a sudden sharp drop that will cause profits to turn to losses, you can submit a take profit order with an order price of USD 119 and a limit price of USD 120.
