In addition to basic orders (auction order, limit order, market order, odd lot order, etc.), FUTU HK offers a series of advanced orders. Advanced orders support more flexible trigger logic, which makes it easier for users to implement Take Profit and Stop Loss strategies.
● stop order
● stop limit order
● market if touched order
● limit if touched order
● trailing stop order
● trailing stop limit order
* For specific order descriptions, please go to the Help Center for the corresponding market FAQ.
Advanced orders allow users to set up specific strategies that trigger basic orders under certain conditions. After an advanced order is placed, it will be queued until the conditions are met and then submitted.
To offer users more control over their advanced orders, the system will not affect the buying power or shares in the account when the order is placed. It will only do so once the set conditions are met. But, be aware that if an account doesn't have enough funds or shares at that time, the order might be canceled.
The stocks and trading directions supported by advanced orders are shown in the following table.
