Iceberg (reserve) orders allow you to submit an order (generally a large volume order) while publicly disclosing only a portion of the submitted order.

A Conditional order will not be activated to the market until one or more conditions are met that you have defined. Support for conditional orders is subjected to restrictions in the Trading Gateway.

A strategy which entails buying one delivery month of a contract and simultaneously selling another delivery month of the same contract on the same exchange.

Trailing stop limit orders work just like trailing stop loss orders, except that the order becomes a limit order (instead of a market order) when the order is triggered.

The limit price is the last stop price set before the order was triggered. The primary benefit of trailing stop orders is that when a customer establishes a trail amount on the security,

the stop price adjusts with positive market activity. Trailing stop limit orders are available on Listed equities, OTC securities and single-leg options.

A trailing stop loss order is a stop loss order that adjusts in price with favourable market movement on the security.

Trailing stop loss orders follow the same trading principles and mechanics commonly associated with stop loss orders.

The primary benefit of trailing stop orders is that when a customer establishes a trail amount on the security, the stop price adjusts with positive market activity.

For a trailing stop loss order to sell, the stop price moves up as the price of the security moves up. For a trailing stop loss order to buy,

the stop price moves down as the price of the security moves down. If the price of the security is moving against the customer's order, the stop price does not adjust.
