Good Till Cancelled, abbreviated to GTC, is a trading order type that instructs the broker to keep an order open until it is either filled or cancelled by the trader. The GTC order can be valid for an extended period, and it can be used in various financial markets including the stock, bond, options, and futures markets.
One of the major benefits of using the GTC order is that the trader can place the trade and not need to continuously monitor the market. This is because the order remains active until the conditions set by the trader is met, which can help them discover and execute their strategies at their preferred price. This also promotes consistency in a trader’s strategies, as their orders will always be executed with the same parameters.
A trader places a GTC order to buy 200 shares of a stock at a limit price of $50 per share in the stock market. The order remains open until the shares reach $50 and then is automatically executed on the trading platform. If the shares do not reach $50, the trader can manually cancel the order.
