The time in force instruction may optionally be refined by the specification of order activation and expiry times:

  • Activation - A specific order activation time may be specified via tag 168/EffectiveTime.
  • Expiry - Order expiry may be specified as a specific time via tag 126/ExpireTime, or as a duration via tag 1629/ExposureDuration. The two representations may not be used together.

Order Types

...

  • Market - these are aggressive orders that are instructions to deal immediately at the best possible price. When buying, a market order will be filled at the currently prevailing Offer price; when selling, a market order will be filled at the currently prevailing Bid price.
  • Limit - these are resting orders visible to the market - hence the existence of Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) ECNs. they They are instructions to deal if a market moves to a specific (more favourable) price or better. Limit orders remain open until they are either entirely filled, or the client submits an order cancel request, or the order expires.
  • Stop - these are resting orders that are not visible to the market and will activate once a specified Stop price has been met.
