When trading stocks online, you need to do so with the conviction that your decisions have been based on sound reasoning born out of extensive monitoring of the markets. But to do that, you need to understand some of the factors that can cause fluctuations in prices. These include:

• Performance: If a company is enjoying a productive sales year, its share price will increase. Conversely, if they are struggling financially, this will be reflected by a drop in value.
• Industry updates: Any major news or developments in a sector – for example, new legislation that could impact the companies in that space – are likely to cause a shift in the market.
• Commodity prices: Physical assets such as oil and gas are among the most popular commodities. Any major changes in these prices are likely to have a knock-on effect on the share values of the corporations in that sector.
• Company updates: Major announcements – such as an acquisition of a competitor – are likely to impact a corporation’s value and influence your decision to trade stocks in it.

Stock trading online has to be done your way, with a method that suits your situation and objectives. There are a few different strategies you can adopt, the most common of which we’ve outlined below:

• Day trading: Opening and closing positions within the same day.
• Trend trading: Studying historic price movements to identify potential opportunities.
• Swing trading: Maintaining a position as prices move in one direction towards a predicted peak or trough, at which point you close before performance reverses.

A market order is a request to buy or sell a security at the currently available market price. It provides the most likely method of filling an order. Market orders fill nearly instantaneously. As a trade-off, your fill price may slip depending on the available liquidity at each price level as well as any price moves that may occur while your order is being routed to its execution venue. There is also the risk with market orders that they may get filled at unexpected prices due to short-term price spikes. Executing a market order outside of regular trading hours carries significant risk, as the market may experience substantial movements before trading resumes.

A limit order is an order to buy or sell at a specified price or better. A buy limit order (a limit order to buy) is executed at the specified limit price or lower (i.e., better). Conversely, a sell limit order (a limit order to sell) is executed at the specified limit price or higher (better). Unlike a market order, you have to specify the limit price when submitting your order. While a limit order can prevent slippage, it may not be filled for quite a bit of time, if at all. For a buy limit order, if the market price is within your specified limit price, you can expect the order to be filled. If the market price is equivalent to your limit price, your order may or may not be filled; if the order cannot immediately execute against resting liquidity, then it is deemed non-marketable and will only be filled once a marketable order interacts with it. You could miss a trading opportunity if price moves away from the limit price before your order can be filled.

A stop (market) order is an order to buy or sell a security when its price moves past a particular point, ensuring a higher probability of achieving a predetermined entry or exit price. Once the order is triggered, the stop order becomes a market order. A stop order does not guarantee the order will be filled at a certain price after it is converted to a market order. In order to submit a stop order, you will need to specify the stop price.

Day – A DAY order is eligible for execution only on the day it is live. By default, the order is only valid during Regular Trading Hours (9:30am – 4:00pm ET). If unfilled after the closing auction, it is automatically canceled. If submitted after the close, it is queued and submitted the following trading day. However, if marked as eligible for extended hours, the order can also execute during supported extended hours. Good until Canceled (GTC) – A GTC order remains eligible for execution until canceled. Fill or Kill (FOK) – A FOK order is only executed if the entire order quantity can be filled, otherwise the order is canceled. Immediate Or Cancel (IOC) – An IOC order requires all or part of the order to be executed immediately. Any unfilled portion of the order is canceled.

Extended Hours trading is available from:

Pre-market: 4:00am – 9:30am ET, Monday to Friday

Only limit day orders will be accepted as extended hours eligible. All other order types and TIFs will be rejected. Fractional shares and orders with notional sizes are not available during extended hours trading.
