Enter trade order

You can enter the following information for a trade order:

• Shares
• Bonds
• Derivatives
• Funds
• Money market instruments
• Commodities (precious metals)
• Structured products

Options and futures cannot be traded.

For a trade, you can specify:

• Exchange (optional): By default, the best possible trading venue in the main trading currency of the selected security is shown.
• Order type: Choose between "Buy" and "Sell". "Sell" is only available if you already hold a position in the selected security in your portfolio.
• Account: Select the account through which the securities transaction should be processed. The account balance is always displayed.
  Note: By default, the account is determined based on the trading currency of the selected security. If there is no account in the relevant currency, the main account is chosen. You can define a default account for trade orders in the settings.

Further order details:

Determine the execution type. Choose between "At best", "Limit" and "Stop and Stop Limit":

• At best: The order is executed at the best possible bid or ask price in the market.
• Limit: The order is placed with a maximum price for purchases or a minimum price for sales. Enter the relevant price in the "Limit" field.
• Stop and Stop Limit:
  • Stop
    Set a value in the "Stop" field (price level, e.g., for a stop-loss order). If the stop is reached, the order is executed at market price (stop market).
  • Stop Limit
    You can also set a value in the "Limit" field. If the stop is reached, the order is placed with a limit in the market (stop limit). For purchases, the limit must be above, and for sales, below the stop.
• Expiration date: Specify a date for how long your order should remain valid.
• Comment to trading desk: Your comment will be checked manually. Automatic order processing is therefore no longer possible. Processing of such orders is delayed.
