16 FOREX ORDER TYPES

Market Order Orders to buy or sell a specified instrument as soon as possible at the price obtainable in the market.

Limit orders are commonly used to enter a market or to take profit at predefined level.

• Limit orders to buy can only be placed below the current market price.

• Limit orders to sell can only be placed above the current market price. Limit Order • Aggressive Limits - Saxo Bank allows for the placement of slightly in the money limits (for clients to use as a limited Market order) - the tolerance is currently set at 0.05% away from the relevant market price.

When a limit order is triggered, it is filled at the price obtainable on the market. Limit orders are generally filled at the limit price. However, they may be filled at a better price during larger market gaps, for instance during the market opening period (Monday, 05:00 Sydney time) or during news events. Limit orders are never filled at a price worse than the original limit price.

Forex Stop orders are commonly used to exit positions and to protect investments in the event that the market moves against an open position.

• Stop orders to sell are placed below the current market level and are executed when the Bid price hits or breaches the price Stop Order level specified.

• Stop orders to buy are placed above the current market level and are executed when the Ask price hits or breaches the price level specified.

Stop if Bid orders are typically used to limit losses on short positions. Stop if Offered orders are typically used to limit losses on long positions. This is to prevent orders from being triggered just because of a temporary large spread (maybe for a split of a second).

Saxo Bank therefore encourages you to only use Stop if Bid for Buy orders and Stop if Offered for Sell orders. To help you select the right Stop order type, the ‘FX Order’ Ticket on the platforms automatically defaults to Stop if Bid for Buy and Stop if Offered for Sell orders unless you actively change it before placing the order.

• Stop if Bid orders to buy are when triggered most often filled at the order level plus the client spread, which means no slippage. During volatile markets with price gaps, orders may be slipped to the current market offer price. See the Stop order fill statistics. Stop if Bid / Stop if Offered • Stop if Offered orders to sell are when triggered most often filled at the stop order level minus the client spread, which Order means no slippage. During volatile markets with price gaps, orders may be slipped to the current market bid price. See the Stop order fill statistics.

• Stop if Bid orders to sell are when triggered filled at the client Bid price at the time.

• Stop if Offered orders to buy are when triggered filled at the client Offer price at the time.

The use of Stop-if-Offered orders to buy or Stop-if-Bid orders to sell for Forex positions can result in positions being prema- turely closed if a market event causes the Bid/Ask spread to widen for a short duration. Saxo Bank’s order management system has certain client protection mechanisms in place that ensures that the vast majority of orders are filled without any slippage.See the Stop order fill statistics.

For all three stop order types available, a client can choose Trailing functionality. The order is then adjusted according to step and distance to market, predefined by the client. A Trailing Stop Order has a trigger price that changes with the spot price, Trailing Stop when the market moves in favour of the client. For example: in a rising market, if the client has placed a sell stop order for Order his/her long position, the stop price rises according to the proportion set by the user. If, however, the market price falls, the stop price remains unchanged.
