Launch of New U.S. Market Order Types

We have just launched 3 new U.S. market order types: Market Order, Market On Open (MOO) and Market On Close (MOC).

  1. What is a Market Order?
    • A market order is an order placement with a defined quantity but without a price. It will be traded at the best price currently available in the market.
  2. What is Market on Open?
    • A MOO order is an order placement with a defined quantity but without a price. It is placed before a market is opened and will trade at the best price when the exchange starts trading. It is an order to execute at the day’s opening price.
  3. What is Market on Close?
    • A MOC order is an order placement with a defined quantity but without a price. It is placed during the market trading session and will be executed at the closing. It is an order to execute at the day’s closing price.
  4. When can I start placing a Market Order, MOO and MOC?
    • A market, MOO and MOC orders can only be placed 80 minutes before the start of a market session. The purpose is for better risk management as the pre-market prices indicated then will be a better and more accurate reflection of the asset price at open.
  5. What is the cut-off time for placing an order?
    • Order Type Market Cut Off Time
      MOO All 2 mins before market opens
      MOC NASDAQ 5 mins before market closes
      NYSE 15 mins before market closes
