Investors may use other order instructions to help protect their profits or limit potential losses. “Day orders” mean the order is to be fulfilled during the trading day. “Good-til cancelled” means the order is in the system for whatever time it takes for the order to be fulfilled and transacted. “Immediate or cancelled order” means an order must be transacted immediately, or it must be cancelled. Check with your firm to discover how it defines the word “immediate.” Other special orders may include a “fill-or-kill” order, when an order for stocks must be filled in its entirety, and an “all-or-none” order, in which the trading order to either buy or sell must be executed in its entirety immediately. If it is not executed immediately, an “all-or-none” order will remain active unless it is executed or cancelled by the investor.
What if I want to buy or sell a stock after regular market hours?
Normally, if you wish to buy or sell a stock after regular trading hours, the transaction is settled at the next opening price. However, the timing of these trades depends upon the brokerage firm, so check with your firm for additional information.
What types of factors affect my ability to execute a trade when I want?
There are many different situations that may cause a trade not to execute at the exact price, or the precise time we want. Some situations that influence your order execution may be the volume of Internet traffic at the very moment you are making a buying or selling order, the volume of orders for the security that may be taking place simultaneously, and limits to the technology of the individual trading platform the firm is using. Even when you are given notice that an order was received by your broker, it does not necessarily mean your order was executed. It may just be an order confirmation, so please check with your brokerage firm about its notification procedures.
What are some common myths or beliefs that limit what I may earn as an investor?
Experts at both Investopedia and NASDAQ believe potential investors may have certain inaccurate beliefs about investing that may cause problems when you first invest. One belief is that stocks that plummet in price eventually will bounce back, which is not necessarily true. The reasons why a stock drops in value may be complex in origin, and good research on the investor’s part may help limit losses in this environment. Another belief may be that people who actively trade stocks and manage their personal portfolios are part of some sort of exclusive club. This is simply untrue, as many millions of individuals actively engage in learning and managing personal stock portfolios, either indirectly through brokers and advisers, or directly through their retirement plans and personal investments. Another widely held belief may compare the investment in stocks to gambling in Las Vegas. This is also an erroneous belief, as with proper research, risk analysis, long-term strategies, discipline, and diversification, an investor can actively obtain his results without ever having luck involved in the equation. Yet another widely held belief is that stocks that rise in price over time must always come down. Many experts assert this is simply incorrect, as some companies are so well managed that their stock price may continue to rise even when purchased at a high point. Over a longer period of time, the stock’s price may continue to rise. And finally, that only a bit of knowledge about the complexities of investing in the market is enough for all of us to invest in the market. This belief may also cause many problems with new investors, as it takes a considerable amount of learning, training, and understanding of this complex system in order to do well as an investor.
Another widely believed myth is that investing in stocks is about as safe as gambling in Las Vegas. With proper research and help from a professional, it is actually considerably safer.
How do I begin setting up a brokerage account?
You can easily set up a brokerage account by completing and submitting an online application or mailing a completed form that can be downloaded from most brokerage firms’ websites. The form asks for basic information about yourself, and may also ask you to fill in some personal financial information, such as your annual income, net worth, investment goals, likely frequency of trading, etc. You may also be asked to associate your new account with another external bank account, or use the firm’s banking products, if available. You may also be asked how you wish to keep your uninvested cash on hand. Many firms will give you different choices for how you wish to save or invest this cash, used to execute trades and invest proceeds. Many firms will require some sort of minimum deposit to begin trading, so you should check with each individual firm.
