Basic Trading Terminology

  • Market Order: A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the current market price. It signals your broker to execute the order at the best price currently available. However, as market prices keep changing, a market order cannot guarantee a specific price.

  • Limit Order: To avoid buying or selling a stock at a price higher or lower than you wanted, you need to place a limit order rather than a market order. A limit order is an order to buy or sell a security at a specific price. However, a limit order cannot guarantee execution of the trade. This is because the stock might not reach the desired rate on that particular trading day owing to market-related factors.

  • Stop Loss Order: A stop loss order is a standard order placed with a broker to sell a security when it reaches a certain predetermined price called the trigger price. The stop loss trigger price is your defence mechanism for unexpected loss-bearing transactions – an amount at which you will be able to sustain yourself against unanticipated market movements. For example, if you bought a stock at Rs. 10, you place a stop loss order with your broker to sell it, if it reaches Rs. 8. This helps you prevent further loss, in the eventuality that the price of the stock might dip even further. Thus, it helps limit your loss or protect unrealised profits, whichever the case.

  • Immediate or Cancel Order (IOC): An Immediate or Cancel (IOC) order allows a trading member to buy or sell a security as soon as the order is released into the market. In case the order failed to fulfil the total quantity, it will be cancelled from the market. Partial match is possible for the order, and the unmatched portion of the order is withdrawn immediately.

  • Intraday Trading: This involves buying/selling stocks within a day, to earn quick profits during the day. Books are closed on the same day.

  • Swing Trading: Trades executed for longer than a day, to make quick bucks on the swings/trends.

  • Positional Trading: Trade execution for a longer time horizon than swing (months), where traders hold the positions in expectation of favourable outcome.
