I would like to validate (or correct) my understanding of the variables that
determine how one may qualify a stock order. By qualification, I mean
specifying that an order is AON, FOK, DNR, IOC, etc.
I believe a valid set of qualifiers is a function of the following:
1. Order type (market, limit, stop, stop-limit)
2. Order action (buy, sell)
3. Duration, or time limit (Day, GTC)
4. Whether or not a round lot order is required
Here are some examples:
OT OA TL OQ Round Lot
MARKET BUY N/A AON TRUE
LIMIT BUY GTC AON TRUE
LIMIT BUY GTC DNR FALSE
LIMIT BUY DAY AON TRUE
LIMIT BUY DAY FOK FALSE
LIMIT BUY DAY IOC FALSE
MARKET SELL N/A AON TRUE
LIMIT SELL GTC AON TRUE
LIMIT SELL DAY AON TRUE
LIMIT SELL DAY FOK FALSE
LIMIT SELL DAY IOC FALSE
STOP SELL GTC DNR FALSE
STOP_LIMIT SELL GTC DNR FALSE
All qualifiers except AON and DNR are mutually exclusive. For example, a
limit, buy, GTC order can be qualified as AON and DNR (a round lot is still
required, of course).
Does this sound accurate, or is it way off the mark? Are there other
factors involved? Thanks.
