The order price is automatically adjusted as the markets move to keep the order less aggressive. For a buy order, your order price is pegged to the NBB by a less aggressive offset, and if the NBB moves up, your bid will also move up. If the NBB moves down, your bid will also move down. For a sell order, your price is pegged to the NBO by a less aggressive offset, and if the NBO moves down, your offer will also move down. If the NBO moves up, your offer will also move up. In addition to the offset, you can define an absolute cap, which works like a limit price, and will prevent your order from being executed above or below a specified level.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Passive Relative order is similar to the Relative\/Pegged-to-Primary order, except that the Passive relative subtracts the offset from the bid and the Relative adds the offset to the bid.<\/li>\n<li>Directed orders will float both ways with the market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Passive Relative order derives its price from a combination of the market quote and a user-defined offset amount. While similar to a Relative order, a Passive Relative order applies the offset in the opposite direction to make the order less aggressive; a Relative order applies the offset to become more aggressive.
