How do I create a Good-Til-Canceled order?

An order that uses the Good-Til-Canceled (GTC) time in force will continue to work until the order fills or is canceled.

To place a Good-Til-Canceled (GTC) order from the Mosaic Order Entry panel:

  1. Enter or select a symbol and then click Buy or Sell
  2. Set the order size and the order type
  3. Click in the Time in Force (TIF) field and choose GTC
  4. Complete the order parameters
  5. Hit SUBMIT

You can create a GTC order that will work only during the contract's designated Regular Trading Hours (RTH) session, or you can create the GTC order to work during and outside the contract's RTH session. Please see: How can I enable trading for outside RTH?

Please Note

  • GTC orders are not supported for IBAlgo order types, and are only supported for cryptocurrency SELL orders.
