TD Direct Investing Launches Conditional Order Types

As an active trader, I’m pleased to see TD Direct Investing offer conditional order types to its trading platform, WebBroker. This enables investors to determine entry and exit strategies up-front and automatically execute their trading plans.

As the first Canadian bank-owned brokerage to bring this offering to market, the new order types will provide self-directed investors with greater control and flexibility in managing their portfolios, even when they’re away from their computer.

These are powerfully enabling trading tools to help professional traders deploy advanced strategies for retail investors.

The new conditional order types will enable investors to determine entry and exit strategies up-front and automatically execute their trading plans with greater ease and precision. The abilities range from triggering an order to sell at a higher price once a buy order is completed, to more complex order strategies which actively monitor market conditions to automate a sequence of trades in order to limit downside risk or lock in gains.

In volatile market conditions, investors can quickly adjust or plan ahead to keep up with fully automated, pre-determined trade order executions, rather than making on-the-spot decisions or missing out altogether.
