Trading Best Practices

Order Type Price Risk Priority

Market OrderExecute at the best currently available price

Final execution price may differ from the price the order was entered if quote changes significantly

Speed

Limit OrderExecute at or below/above a specified price

If the market moves the order may not be executed due to price limitation.

Price

Marketable Limit

Execute at a limit around current market price, taking into consideration trading value of underlying basket

If the market moves the order may not be executed due to price limitation.

Unfilled portion remains in the book at the specified price, which may become stale.

Fill a large order that is larger than the bid/offer displayed, but able to be executed within the bounds of the current market

Limits and Marketable Limits have significant advantages when trading ETFs especially if trading near the open and close of the market

Since market makers are risk averse, volatility increases the cost of liquidity; the open and close tend to be the most volatile times of the day
