Hi, Does Charles Schwab even have this type of order? I search and I couldn't find anything. I can use at IB, but i'm used all my buying power, and Tradestation charges High platform fees if I don't Trade enough. Thanks for any help.
Touch orders are not "Stop order". They are Used for entry. I think with E*trade, it's has deceiving name called " stop on Quotes" and Stop Limit of Quotes", but they are actually used to enter, not exit.
No, it is Not. Lets say stock trading at 50.00 now and you want to buy if price drop to 49.80 or cheaper, you will put a "Limit order" buy order at 49.80. But lets say you don't know which way market will go, and it's trading at 50.00, You want to buy at 50.20 or cheaper, if price touches 50.25 (then you put "LIT Order" for buy) or if price touches 49.80 and you want to short sell at 49.85 or higher (then you put "LIT Order" for sell or short depends on platform)
So... your buy limit is $49.80, but you want to short @ $49.85? Your broker must just LOVE your schtick!
You’re literally asking for a stop order and yes they do otherwise they wouldn’t be a licensed Broker dealer.
Let me give you a helpful suggestion. You should be playing for "enough of a move" that the fill is inconsequential*. (Unless however you're playing some size in an issue with light volume and/or a big spread, then a limit order will help.) Focus on getting the "swing move" correct and don't gnash over the execution costs... you can't do much about them anyway. *The true cost of a trade is not just the commission.... it's the commish, fees if any, spread, plus slippage
LIT orders is for someone who is looking to catch big move on a gap up/down day and shut down your computer. I don't want to go more into details, just want know if said brokers have them.
